Le Scoot

[Jonquil]

KD should hire whoever's doing the Le Scoot renovations to fix up Virginia's superior log flume, Shenandoah Lumber Company.

Am I the only one who thinks Shenandoah Lumber Company is very underwhelming? Le Scoot has always seemed a lot better to me.

I think Le Scoot has a boring layout. Shenandoah Lumber Company's sluice weaving through the trees and brush is much more interesting.

So sorry I meant to put this here earlier .... Permit for more work coming to the fume

Just a heads up that means all structural pieces from the sawmill to the station (runout), station, and all pieces from the top of the lift to the first drop (where you see the second team member) will be dismantled and replaced.

Connor posted some pics he found online in the Aquitaine thread and included a link for more pictures where I found this wonderful pic of Le Scoot's first drop with the now removed rise (photographed by Panoramio user Scotch Canadian.)

So that's why there's a giant concrete pad underneath the ride!

They still have holes in the side where the old drop used to be incase they need to empty the top half of the flume out.

And so it begins...

Basically, it looks as if they're doing everything they didn't do last off-season. I'm glad they're trying to keep it around for a long time to come with these repairs. Le Scoot=:heart:

Thanks Joe for the picture!!!

An old postcard:

"The Log-Flume ride re-creates the thrills and excitement of a French-Canadian logging camp. The flumes were used to transport logs to the sawmills by floating them on a cushion of water. Travelling sixty feet in the air, the flume ride dips and turns at tree-top level, ending with a plunge through a sawmill then a splash into the river below. Photo by: R. Young."

They need an actual saw over the drop.

They have one inside the building, although it never worked this year.

If Anybody is wondering where the fiberglass is put while the supports are worked on, it's all over Festhaus park.

I didn't have enough time to get it before the train moved on.

*gasps* That's it! That's what the balloon test was for! Guys, Project 2016 is Le Scoot #2! (Die Scoot?)

You heard it here first.

 

[Applesauce]

Why does Scoot have to die? What did Scoot ever do to you? D:

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

No, that's the German article of its new name.
