    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I really want to make a funny post here... but it would just be potty humor.

    Not to mention replacing all the spedometer dials in US cars...some only show MPH

    Tower of Terror "new stories and effects" coming?

    No, you're a troll for holding out "your truth" a.k.a. your OPINION as fact.

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Sounds more like shoddy workmanship, then, which is disappointing.

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Not defending this, it should be fixed, but I'll just say that I had a convertible a while back that had leather inserts on the door panels that were notorious for coming unglued during the hot summer months every year. (Hence no A/C running in this car becomes more significant.) It was no small...

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    Well, in fairness, I can conceive of a scenario where it's technically correct. By purported eyewitness accounts, there was an outage that caused a stoppage in the station among the gondola cars that were ultimately involved. If we assume that is accurate then the scenario looks like this: 1)...

    Kudos to both @flynnibus and @lazyboy97o for trying to "hold back the night" - the sheer ignorance and closed-mindedness being displayed by some posters (especially the inordinate rash of new accounts) on this thread.

    No, but in DL, Bob Gurr himself snapped every single drive axle the first time they tried to pull Mark I Red out of the barn. Not to mention all they other problems they had, like literally melting all the resistors (burning parts falling off the train into and igniting the foliage below)...but...

    Unfortunately, not impossible, but EXTREMELY unlikely.

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    You seem to be misunderstanding my point. We evidently both agree that Aerosmith was an excellent choice. We also evidently both agree that RnRC is still good as it stands today. Where we seem to disagree is that you seem to believe the ride will never warrant a retheme, whereas I am saying that...

    Would you mind helping me get my lawn mower started? There's nothing wrong with it, it just needs a BIG JERK!

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Yes, my understanding matches yours as far as MAPO and the need to disable to "reverse" a train. In theory, the automation system is not completely disabled (unlike MAPO) as the PTC aspect also monitors the location of every single (powered/active) train at all times. MAPO only acted for each...

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    Full disclosure, I don't know the answer to your question, as I'm no insider. My best somewhat-educated guess, though, is that the automation system was primarily done to give an additional layer of "safety" following the Pink/Purple accident. Essentially, it's the monorail's version of the...

    MSEP to Return to WDW for 50th Celebration?

    Asking if the MK can still handle a nighttime parade is like asking if New Orleans can still handle Mardi Gras parades. (The answer to both is a resounding YES.)

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    For better or worse, I agree. However, in the grand scheme of that, I don't think anyone can legitimately argue (not that anyone is, but I'm thinking out loud here) that Aerosmith was a bad choice in the first place. It's been with this theme for 20 years, give or take, and for the time being...

    Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

    The automation system and it's (lack of) success are the best argument for replacing, or completely rebuilding the Mark VI trains, and thus creating the Mark VIII. The broken cockpit door handle and the need to smack the door to get it to seat closed properly are examples of needed maintenance...

    News WDW Food and Beverage Price Increases 10/1/2019

    Ah yes, the pineapple dessert was excellent. I do very much enjoy the bread pudding, too though. I consider (obviously, only my own opinion) those two an even trade. The noodles were still there and very very good the last time I went. Honestly, everything was very good, except for the...

    With that justification, GMR should still be up and running in the Chinese Theater, and MMRR should be being built anew elsewhere.

    News WDW Food and Beverage Price Increases 10/1/2019

    I'm sorry your friend had the same experience. Ohana used to be my very favorite WDW restaurant. I also hope it turns around, because it is no longer a good value at that price point and not being able to enjoy some of the feature items.
