There is a 20 minute demostration of the Segway HT. The area has two computers setup with a direct link to Segway's website. Plus there is a nice flat screen TV above the floor model with video of the Segway in motion, with people using it in different environments.

Actually the backdrop I noticed had some MAJOR pixels showing. I would imagine this was on purpose but I didnt care for it.

Yep IT can handle a 4 inch rise, and also can carry a 250 person 75 pounds of cargo on the sides, and also has an attachment of a cart that you can pull behind you that can carry 300 pounds

We'll be getting the same thing at Disneyland.
I got lucky, I met Dean Kamen (inventor of Segway) and talked to him about the machine. unfortunately, he didn't let me ride.
