What's new

Mother Nature and Theme Parks

a: SFNE Got beat by a rainstorm last July, everything outdoors was closed, so we only got on the houdini ride.

b: Went on Thunder n Lightnin when it was raining- it wasn't very fun
 
I've ridden Great Escape's Boomerang in the snow as well as Batman Dark Knight and Mind Eraser at Six Flags New England.

And I got to ride Kentucky Rumbler with lightning everywhere! (Also Cheetah Hunt's media event was during a rainless lightning storm.... BALLIN' night rides with heat lightning EVERYWHERE!)

Dutch Wonderland during a 'flashflood' -

My old home town's local fair flooded out a few times over the year, here's the Go-Gator in a giant puddle http://www.coasterwiki.org/pics/melrose ... e00041.jpg

Snow wasn't uncommon for the April fairs in New England

And countless massive rain storms...
 
I rode all the rides in BGW during Hurricane Dennis in 1999. I also went on their chairswing in the middle of a complete and utter downpour back in 2010 and it was probably the most fun pseudo-water ride I've even been on.
