Mr.Six Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 It seems they try and break a record every year that guests can be involved in. I saw it a couple days ago on the Asbury Park Press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 This event could be very realistic. Look at Saturday's forecast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I wonder if they are going to open the park if it is going to snow that much and if they will reschedule the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 That much snow will not be melting very fast in low 40s, especially after freezing the night before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper26 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 If it was colder and the snow sticked on the ground then we could do one in the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty funny! What makes it more weird is that it is a rare southern snowstorm that had dumped snow in Texas and New Orleans that hit us.

GAcoaster Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Yeah, we were supposed to go to Six Flags Over Georgia yesterday and they were closed due to snow. Atlanta (and a lot of the south) shuts down for snow since they don't have plows or salt trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 And now we’re 0-2 with SFOG closed for snow yesterday and GA closed today... Hopefully snow holds off Friday so we can get to GA while we are still up here visiting. Then BGW Saturday and maybe SFOG on Sunday if it all works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
