Energylandia (Poland): General Discussion

[RicketyCricket]

Has anyone ever visited during their winter openings? Cheap flights in January make it tempting to get a coaster fix, but not too sure how tempting looking at the temperatures over there?

Worth a poke in December, but might be risky in January. Just had a look at the weather in Zator and it's as cold as -12°c in the daytime this coming weekend so unlikely Zadra will be running.

It's a good event though, they add market stalls for extra food and booze options and everything worth riding will be open where possible.

Uhm yeah that’s the main worry I had

Its about minus 8 and Hyperion has not fared well:

Oh, wow! To have the train stuck there like that must have required a perfect storm of circumstances… you’d think it would typically roll one way or the other!

Wind chill to 70mph at -8c is around -27c...enough to cause serious health problems for some in two minutes.

Not what I would ever do for "fun".

Not an advert for cold winter openings!

This is the thing. I’ve been saying for a while that it’s unwise for parks to make a big song and dance specifically about operating their coasters in the snow. Because stuff like this can happen.

It does seem very odd that Energylandia are bothering to open in late January and early February (albeit weekends only), when they're not even reopening in time for the Easter weekend. i can't imagine the park is at all busy this month, compared with the number of guests they could get over a long holiday weekend in springtime.
