I know this may be ill-timed because of the park opening in 2 weeks, but I want to know where these go during the off-season:
The skeletons on the sides of the train tracks
The cars in front of Coasters the restaurant
The food carts
The hollaweekend decorations
I generally want to know where all of the removable things in the park go during the off season and not just the ones I posted.
Funny you should ask that...
Many of the skeletons in the section of Boneville near Mantis are/were hanging by their necks on a rack in the burning building.

Heheh--On the return CP&LE Train trip, Boneville is an imaginary town filled with animated skeletons. Its outer limits begin with the moonshiners, right below CCMR. After crossing the lagoon bridge under SRFalls, the track turns left and you soon enter the city limits. Famous town spots include the outhouse, and U. R. Dade Funeral Home. (Hahah--Get it!?! :) Further on your right, you'll encounter granny skeleton shooting evil hoodlems off the ladder, the rail crew singing a perpetual chorus of "I've been workin on the railroad", and of course the grand finale: The fire scene. --Talk about seat of your pants!-- Ok I've cracked so many lame jokes that I fear I'm ready to be a captain on PE...

Awwwwwww, Jeff, I thought you were going to tell us they were piled in a small storage room in the maintenance building. We'd then really know about the skeletons in CP's closet! :)
Boneville is located between Frontiertown and the Main Midway along the tracks of the CP & LE Railroad. The burning building behind Mantis is in Downtown Boneville, if I remember correctly. I wonder if this year the hands on the pumper truck will have a full skeleton attached...!

The only Q there i can answer is about the food carts. There are many places they are stored actually. The carts are all located in different zones. Each zone has a place where the majority or its supplies are kept or wagons/carts are kept at night. When it comes time to winterize alot of them are just pulled to those locations, but since those locations are not always large enough most get taken to the wagon camp by the power tower. Others are stored behind the warehouse or even inside.
Most Halloween props are stored in Disaster Transport, (that may change this year) the "Bone Yard", and in a back section of the old Pirate Ride. Many of the props are from older rides, props, or other odd things.
Does anyone know if the Sky Ride Cable is taken down?
No, it stays. I do wonder if they release some of the tension, though.

I would think that just by not haveing the cars hanging from the track there would be less tension....
