Overriding MAPO? Absolutely.

If anyone is curious, in the cockpit there is a rope that, in theory, would hook to the top of the cabs and then attach down by the monorail headlight. In a serious emergency, the pilot would (again, in theory) rig this up so that guests could slide down the windshield and onto the beamway. I...

They had started to "tow" (actually push) the train back towards TTC but for some reason the brakes jammed. Before they could sort out why they jammed, a guest in one of the cars called reporting a medical emergency. At that point Reedy Creek decided to evacuate those particular cars and the tow...

Same here. The evacuation drills I participated in all took at LEAST 3 hours. And that was with everyone knowing, in advance, exactly where the train would be stopped (and having it positioned in relatively ideal locations), with adult, experienced Monorail CMs as the evacuees, no wheelchairs or...

Same! I didn't catch much of what the driver was saying but I guess when the tow started it moved little bit and the brakes locked up. I would guess due to the location the tow would have been back towards Base and not up the hill. I also wasn't sure why/how the brakes couldn't be released from...

Yeah it was up to Pylon 28 and either rolled or was pushed back down a bit to where the evacuation happened.

Propulsion failures causing locked brakes.

Unfortunately this change also coincidences with a change in parking prices.

All will be revealed. Tomorrow.

One anecdote I'll share from my time in the department that I think shows the mentality of SOME cast. I forget what color it was, but the Monorail had just been repainted and was looking very nice. I was working in the center of the MK platform and the train came into the station with an alert...

It does, thanks! Good luck with the testing.

Does someone in the department know if the automation will help decrease station times? For example, will the train automatically start the door close procedure at 2 minutes in station, or something similar? Granted I haven't been in the department in years, but inconsistent, extended station...

I'm just glad I got into the department in time to actually drive the trains manually. I can also say I've driven all 14 colors, from all 24 (or I guess technically 26) cabs!

I've had to call security several times. Usually I could hear the call going out over Ops before I was even off the phone with the dispatch. I've noticed response times differ depending on if the call is "Security requested @ _____" versus "Security requested for Signal 22 verbal/physical @...

I have a feeling one group "cut off" another in that cluster that occurs after the design room when the room dumps and it's a free-for-all for who goes where in line after that. I've seen/heard some comments made there when someone feels another party cut them off or skipped them in line.

Some days I don't think there are any NOT congested parts of 192 :). I used to live off it and the drive to MK cast parking every day was just soul-sucking. I eventually moved north of property and it was the best decision.

If the Vineland store was ever staffed to have more than 4 checkout lanes open at a time it wouldn't seem so busy! I avoid that place harder than anywhere else in Orlando.

Right, there's definitely different sets of songs that play, and I think "Love in a roller coaster" only plays at the end of one of them.

I definitely noticed the new sign. Didn't notice any change in the music timing but maybe that was just me.

I went to the second show a week ago and the "DJ in a the booth" was playing. It was during SWW so maybe that was why; bigger crowds.
