Employee Lot

[[jonrev]]

What is left in the Employee parking lot? I heard they cleaned house back there.
Last year there was Shockwave, Power Dive and all of Sky Whirl's cages.

[Mr. SFGAm]

Take Shockwave out of that mix. The rest is still there.

[SFGAm Shock Wave]

The only significant items still back there are Power Dive and 4 red Sky Whirl cages.

There's a bunch of chairs, tables and other stuff too.

I think there is another topic like this

[Coaster Alex0805]

Well yesterday at FF i noticed while i was riding the train, I was peeking through the fence and I'm almost positive I saw huge long steel beams/poles from SW...Um check it out sometime

[Rusty888]

where are some good spots to see the employee parking lot?

[Shockwavegirl]

Top of Iron Wolf's lift, is a good spot. It's to the right.

Or just drive through the lot itself. There is a road everyone can use that connects the main lot with the employee lot. You can get to it by driving around to the back of the drop-off area.

[Rusty888]

ok i'll probably check it out next time i go on IW.

Meh, I had to drive through there on Thursday and all that I saw rides wise was a rusting (seriously) Power Dive, a SWF raft, and some other crap.

The huge ride graveyard next to the employee lot in the back is where we Trolls™ always dumpster-dive for the exquisite garbage we use to filth up our behind-the-fence area every year. We can always find all kinds of fun refuse...including spools of wire, broken tables and chairs, even pieces of rides. Come by and check it out this year! We're quite proud of our "exterior decoration".

I will laugh when our new coaster for 2006 turns into this year's Fright Fest decorations. Just kidding.

All of sw except the trains was scrapped.

And as you can see from your picture some of sky whirls cages are still there. Even though I dont know what the point of still having the cages is?

Okay, Complete employee parking lot list.
Power Dive
Various Water ride Boats
hay baler cars
When not in season, the sky whirl cages.
Four shockwave beames they were two lazy to throw out. (Not significant, I think they just forgot about them)
Various Broken things no one ever bothered to throw out.
Various old scenery they never bothered to throw out.

that's pretty much it.
Not that exciting.

[twixmix0303]

I noticed that Fiddler's Fling and East River Crawler use the same cars. Does anyone know if they're also the same as Hay Baler (minus the locking lapbar). I can't really remember Hay Baler's to that much detail.

[Binks Drake]

Hay baler's cars were similar to triple plays.

Technically, most of that stuff isnt in the employee lot..

I was watching when Shockwave was being shredded in the back lot this summer. I might have a picture or two somehwere. I'll post from home later.

Its hard to see from some of the rides, but there is a fence dividing the lot from the outer drive surrounding the park. Much of what looks like it is stored in the lot is inside the fence. Mostly just the big stuff, like Power Dive and the yellow rafts and cages are outside the fence.

Inside the fence is all kinds of stuff, tires, ice cream carts, luggage trailers, fire hydrants, furnace machinery, restaurant seats, big air tubes for the rafts, etc.
