I read on some website (can't rember which one), that Cajun Cliffhanger was taken away at the same time Sky Whirl's body was. Not really sure though..... As for major rides from the Marriott days, don't forget the Scenic Railroad and Sky Trek Tower!

It would be kind of cool to take a tour of the storage buildings.

"And here we have replacement harnesses. This is where the bumper car bumpers are. Now if you look here, we have extra inner tubes for the rapids ride. Down here there is a bunch of different size lug nuts. Now, don't tell anyone about this, but this is where we keep the most secret items in the storage warehouse. It's where the... you guessed it! Turnstyles are!"I'd imagine that would be a tour of the warehouse. It's just that, a warehouse. Go to the Home Depot, same setup, I'd imagine.

Well, I think it may be sort of interesting. You're probably right Travis, there probably wouldn't be any "big secret" stuff, but it may still be sort of cool. I'd rather have a tour of something cooler such as a rides electrical/computer building or something. That way you'd maybe learn more about how the ride works and stuff.

I want a tour of SW in the employee parking lot 8). The storage warehouse tour has to be better then the tour the train gives you.

A while back ago on some roller coaster tv show they had a behind the scenes segment. They took you all around the different warehouses. The warehouse I remember the most had all of the parts of the roller coasters. There were wheels, nuts, bolts, harenesses, etc. It was kind of cool to see all of the many different stuff they had back there.

The past I don't know how many years, it can be scene if you ride Triple Play. When you are high, look behind the fence at the back of the ride. I'm sure they are there this year. They've been there for as long as I can remember. I think they use them at Fright Fest, but I don't know for sure. I've never gone to that.

They use them for the Fright Fest parade as well as the summer parade. If you get to the park early, they sometimes ask you if you want to ride on the trolley during the parade and you get to wave to people and your in the parade :P. If you really want to ride and they don't ask you, you can also go by the gaint building nect to Triple Play where they store all the floats for the parade and ask if there are no shows, and there most likey will be and you might get a chance to experience the "xtreme" :lol:.

They also use the trolley during the Mardi Gras parade. The people on the trolley are given those necklaces and they throw them out in the crowd.
