It doesn't stand for Phun Tacos Chico.
As part of the annual EastCoaster event, PTC opened up their shop for tours.
The shop was easier to find than meeting at McDonalds
Matt liked what he found outside.
Sue's favorite PTC innovation
A zero click ride. Alright!
The paint shop
PTC train under carriage
Roar frames
PTC wheel assemblies
Hitch bar rings
Tom Rebbie (president of PTC) and I
Ravine Flyer II cars
Voyage cars looked lonley
Matt was articulate about his love for single bench cars
I like buzz bars.
Doesn't Matt look cool?
Minutes from last week's meeting (actually from the 1st meeting)
Shoot-the-Chutes. They had allot of old photos on display.
PTC's homework
S:ROS 0
Matt has respect for Lazer
It was a really good time. We got to see trains from Wild One and Puma. For more secrets inside, see the album

What's an LBLM for Lake Compounce? I didn't even notice that sign.

Speaking of that "NITRO 1" license plate, does anyone here have a coaster/park related plate? My plate is "BLDR DSH". Back when I lived in NJ, I had "KUMBA" because "BDASH" and "MONTU" were both already taken.

Another little trinket we saw there was the old Tsunami front of J2's blue train Seeing the Voyage trains there was special too, almost like getting to visit with that dear friend briefly before getting some quality time come May. And of course I was ecstatic to play around on one of Anton's masterpieces.
But the highlight for me though was getting to see the Ravine Flyer II trains, let alone getting to sit in them. I have been anxiously following that coaster's saga since first hearing about it 14 years ago. I think it will find a spot in my top five this summer.
