I remember sitting at the side of the Alpenrose track thinking how
cool it would be to have a removable tensile structure (read: very
fancy "tent") over the whole business. problem is, lets just say the
structure cost $300k complete with lighting array - that cost would
beg the question of re-modeling the track itself to make it of
commensurate value. As it stands now I am not sure it is worth
covering, sorry alpenrose loyalists. All this doesn't even deal with
the issue that the track belongs to Alpenrose (what if they don't
want a great big tent?).
Still- it would be a very cool design project.

Could some sort of cover be built over the current track? Sort of
like those big structures you see on HW 30 by the train yards.
Granted this is coming from a guy who has NEVER rode the current
track. I think I'd be more inclined when the weather gets bad.
Ideas, feedback???
