As far as attaching to the cables: There's a lot of things going on in the station to make sure the gondolas' grips are attached and detached correctly. The spring force of the grip is incredible.
The bouncing up and down is...
Funny you should say that. Triceratop Spin shares infrastructure with Primevil Whirl. Electrical and Air Compressors for it are located in the building that’s in the middle of Primevil Whirl. If there’s a drastic change to the area, I fully expect something to happen to Triceratop Spin.
Meanwhile... thousands of of guests and cast members enter the parks every day without being screened by metal detectors...
Security Theater at its finest.
^It might create a few. Probably in the operations side (Entrance Ops or the like.) Unfortunately, whatever positions it does create will likely be filled by college programs and not local residents.
Disney hasn't hired externally for Operations since before summer. It seems everything is...

Movie Ride is a good...
MK would be a great target especially on holidays when the hub is full during a show or parade. Terrorists want to hurt the most people in the most efficient way possible.
I apologize if this was brought up elsewhere, but a search yielded nothing.
After numerous visits to WDW lately... I've come to a conclusion: Security is a joke. Hear me out:
So metal detectors... Supposedly they pick guests "at random" for additional screening via metal detectors. What I've...
Going along with this... there are actually no buttons on the benches. The top four corners of each bench have an RFID sensor in them. The operator that checks your restraint has an RFID tag in their hand. When they check the restraints they "tag" the vehicle on the front right corner to clear...
