Re: Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc train maintenance li
Interesting to see the lack of Six Flags rides aside from Six Flags America on this list, I know that SFGAm does Viper, American Eagle, and Little Dipper's trains (three-bench, three-bench buzz bar, and two-bench single-position PTC's respectively) in-house every winter, as they do with most of their rides, but I didn't know that was something they did chain-wide. I think the only service done with the company themselves is new restraints that can't be patched up by the maintenance department.

Isn't it also true though that some parks will alternate "outsourced" maintenance with manufacturers between years, shipping some years but not others?
I know Waldameer has sent Ravine Flyer II and Comet trains in the past, but doesn't appear to be doing so this off-season.

^ I would imagine parks either use this approach, or keep as much in house as possible unless it is a specialty item.
