There are some neat pictures of the guts of the El Toro trains on the SFGAdv Facebook page.

I wonder what the standard off season maintenance process is.
Surprised to see they didn't take advantage of the unusual warm weather and get more work done in the park.

I believe they have strict schedules and guidelines that they can't really deviate from due to the unions.  I could be wrong but this has been one of the underlying issues with getting some of the rides open for a Christmas in the Park sort of thing.  Or at least that was the word going around.

With that said, it makes me cringe when I see them leaving things out in the weather all winter long.  Especially with the number of places they have that they could work in.  At the very least, throw a tarp over them?

I understand the fiberglass shells and steel frames can withstand mothernature and all but it still can't be good to have them covered in snow for a month like they did last Winter.
