Do you get laid-off till spring?

Right.

We really do get asked that.

A lot.

It's sort of annoying...

Like we mothball the place and go sleep by the fire for six months.

Not hardly.

Within days of the park closing for the season, the dismantling begins.

It goes on all over the park and takes place quickly.

The trains are lifted from the track and taken to maintenance, for all sorts of off-season TLC.

Gets a bit cluttered for a while.

...but eventually everything gets put away for the winter months.

Signs come down.

And I don't know what this is all about.

Too bad my budget is shot for the season. Otherwise we could rent a helicopter for an aerial shot, just in case the trash cans spell out a hint for, oh...2009 or something.
