I'm sure the electronics of the markvi versus the mark iv in the 70's is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different & wont allow that.:shrug:

considering the extent of the damage, i'm going to say a whole new cab/car will have to be made for at least purple if not pink also. Disney/Eisner had a falling out with "bombardier" i think the manufacturer of the current trains so i dont know what kind of help or fast help they will be...

Does anyone know if these 911 calls were picked up by orange county or disney thru reedy creek? The man taking the calls seems unsure of where ttc is, somewhat confused...either way a very tragic situation:cry: this makes me think of the french comic that was drawn when walt died showing...

I dont know what issues might have been occuring recenty with the trains. I rode pink during my visit in may. For the first 3 stops we made, when we were leaving the station the pilot had to radio centralt hat a certain sensor was not working properly & would maintain visual clearance. May the...

Latest update, called City Hall, or MK guest relations at 1015am, NO MONORAIL SERVICE currently. Only busses & watercraft. :cry: My deepest condolences to the cm's family. As to how this happened, is a mystery to me. There are several safety systems built into the Mark VI trains that should have...

It would be nice if they would do some retro things, like for EPCOT 25. Current map/71 map, old menus, create a few retro costumes like the old monorail, small world, resorts. not all of them but a few for certain areas that were around in 71. maybe open the walt disney story again for a while...

THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO adorable, never seen mickey in a raincoat before.

O MY that was an interesting time back in 87 & 88. They were actually using the express side of the GF platform before the resort openened whie other stations were having work done, which included not just enlarging the entry/exit of Contemporary, but raising the platforms heighs so it's a...

It was simply built around the track. An interesting note, since it was being built after the markVI monorails were ordered the platform was built at the correct height for them, so it was the only station that did not need alterations for the new trains.

at least disneyland paris is only 17 years old, wdw is almost 40!!! WDW has gotten infamous for not keeping the park up due to the cheap eisner era & things not improving much since he left. Althought after my visit last week the MK does seem to be getting some overdue attention. All in hopes of...

love this one, wish i could experience this sometime...:wave:

As an interesting note to this topic.... I have an Old like late 70's emergency evacuation manual for mk. It highlights what "tunnel" stairways should be used for what areas, how many guests per minute a single or double stairwell can handle, & how wdw monitored the weather back then before...

for MANY YEARS, especially before AK opened it was an annual event for mk, the studios to close due to attendance & epcot's parking lot close since it was full. It's not as often with all 4 parks but it has been done, it's just been a while since we saw it.:rolleyes:

I'm not sure if that was for the wind or the lightning. Have you ever heard what the lightning does to the computer system on the monorail if it gets hit?? safer to have them in stations that stuck on the beam from a strike.:wave:

couldnt be any worse than the first 20 years or so of the day time parade ending in frontierland.

That is how the day parade was ran until 94 or 95 i think. At least the first 20 years it started on main street.

From what i recall the utilidors/tunnels only stretch as far out as what was there in 71. Thus nothing under pirates, toon town, splash, big thunder, or space mountain.

I could manage guest relations, I've worked as a server in restaurants for almost 10 years now. We have to deal with more questions, stupidty, & a** kissin as guest relations does.:fork: As for the worst job i would say entertainment generally. It's tough in 80+ degree temps.:shrug:

I can assure anyone that wdw & the EPCOT BUILDING CODE are very strict about many requirements that local governments might not require. If you look around nearly every structure except for an out door merchandise cart or popcorn cart has sprinklers. If for nothing else for insurance reasons &...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm having flashbacks of why einser came to be.:fork:
