Train parts from the original bat

Featured Replies

From what I've heard from a few sources, the cars or train parts from the original 1983 Bat were stored in crates underneath Vortex's station. I've read they were scrapped around 2006. Is this true? What was stored under there? Does anyone here have any photos of them? This has intrigued me for years and I'd love a clear awnser finally. Anyone here know if it's true?

I’ve heard that as well; however, they used to store the metal brackets that I believe they used  for transporting The Vortex’s cars in the offseason under the station, which I think may have contributed to that rumor. 

I believe there were, for a time, discarded queue rails under there as well. They looked different than what was used in the 90s-present (a little bit more ornate and unique looking) and I believe they were stacked up in piles. From my understanding, these were set aside like that after the lower queue house was disused. 
 

@teenageninja, am I remembering that properly?

Yessir.  If I recall correctly, they were square rather than round.

I think you’re right. Come to think of it, they may have been the old loading gates.
