Why call a female bot ‘buddy’? Presumably there is animation and speech not yet revealed…

I think you're missing that Walt's fixation with authentic wasn't always uniform - his fixation wasn't really on something being authentic as much as it was about his fixation on the END GAME - believing/credible. Using authentic pieces was one of his methods to spin the tale.. he wanted the...

From the beginning.. the park was created by people using movie prop techniques.. aka USING FAKE STUFF TO MAKE YOU THINK IT'S REAL. Yes, Walt had a fixation with authenticity with some elements and going to extremes to build the belief around things.. but for the most part everything is rooted...

Yeah confirmed through multiple points… but no details besides he was found at his home and was supposed to be meeting others today

Aerosmith isn't even part of the LA scene... should have been Motley Crue and kickstart my heart and play Don't Go Away Mad in the exit :) Never a possibility.. but let's do theme right :)

THE RAMP!! :)

"Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

That assumes a rider 'rag dolling' is safe enough to proceed... a scenario that seems to be unclear if the designers are designing for that. While it maybe an edge case, not all safety systems are designed for every use case - they are used when appropriate.

It is, it allows you to interject if the terms deem it prudent... and the outcome can be to resume and reset.. or tend to the incident at hand while others wait. Where it goes from there depends on the response needed. Point is, it gives you the option, where today we are literally putting...

And do what? Chew their legs off to get out? Come on - people being stranded in ride vehicles happens every year. Always better to err to safety than "well, that was inconvenient so we just kept it cycling"

and I think you are only looking at the dimension of TIME -- and not what continuing the ride may mean to the situation at hand. A simple example.. a failed restraint. You don't say "well, just get them back to the station and we'll deal with the outcome" - They stop the ride because...

Removing your hyperbolic claims... if you are asking "should we protect the public from themselves?" - The answer is yes.

But the point is it gives you the option - instead of 'well, just keep running them through the ringer until we get to the end'. They don't have e-stops just to prevent collisions. Every decision of course is weighed for pros vs cons.. but then at least you have the option. Yet, the hold...

Do we limit safety systems to only things we knew about before? Do we limit safety systems to say "well, we don't need to do anything about that because we told people don't do it"? Systems are designed to try to minimize injury even in the face of 'stupid human tricks' aka the public who don't...

Please go back to the original post and find where I said I did?? 'I also wonder how much of a CONTRIBUTING FACTOR...' -- This is a open ended QUESTION. And what about any other situation for an emergency on a train? The world doesn't start and end with this one incident. The point was on...
