Lake Charles

Postby RockRaider » Mon Jun 29, 2009 10:49 pm

As stated in the kdfansite blog, lake charles is drained on the off season. I was wondering if there are any pics?

They probably put a giant hose into the lake, feed it to the center (deepest point) and literally suck the water out.

it wouldnt be that hard to expand this thing... dig a hole five feet deep... or i would even think if they even made a man made river (that starts in the woods so it looks real and you dont see the starting point) that feeds into lake charles. and make the path to the new coaster go over it. 8)

I would move waterworks and then get WET people who made the Bellagio fountains and install a musical fountain show
