You cannot have more than two logs on the lift hill at any given time, or the ride will shut down, so basically the system monitors where the logs are, and once the 2nd log in front of you goes over the drop, the system lets you start up the lift hill. Generally, the log in front of you would be around Brer Fox's cave at this point.

He's right. But you're actually allowed to have three logs on the lift at a time. You just have to make sure there are only two logs on the lift when the ride is being reset. If there are more than 2 on the lift while resetting you have to "Jog a Log" off the lift. Which basically means you send it over the hill. There's really nothing that technical about it. There are Decision Point sensors at the top and bottom of the lift and a Metering Point Sensor and Block Zone sensor in the middle of the lift. Theres also a runnout sensor at the end of the brake area that lets it know the log has cleared. Once one log hits the next sensor it activates the Pre-Lift and the belt moves until the next log catches on the chain. Hope this info helps.

Regardless, I do hope you feel better ISTCrew...I think this is why Disney decided to make its drinking fountains talk--attract more drinkers! Walking from MGM to Epcot (in bare feet, no less) in the 90º heat w/o staying hydrated, then skipping through World Showcase to SPACE...well, at least you got your exercise in for the day! Enjoy your vacation from the vacation capital of the world, bud!

Im Not Patrick Red Riding Hood lol, I didnt skip...Anyway, my feet were hurting, and the ground felt really good. I have Learned my lesson, and will drink alot more [water]:lookaroun ..hehe...

And Freak53, the Cm's did a great job, and I couldnt thank em enough. I couldnt beleive they found my dad so fast, because he told me the MS cast members are the ones that called him.

Kenan, that lady who helped me, and who you were talking with about birth ages, ya know, I guess shes your manager?..could you tell her she deserves a big awesome thank you....She sounded alot like my mom lolol

I think most folks here at WDWMagic are breathing a collective sigh of relief hearing that you are okay.

I have been lurking at this site for a few years and finally starting posting last month. I always look for your updates because you provide the rest of us our WDW fix for the day. You see things that the casual guest would not see and are always informative and have a love for WDW that is refreshing.

Thanks again for all your posts. Keep them coming. Glad you are ok.

Thansk for the update! Sorry to hear about your episode at MS. It's really scary to watch somebody black out, it happened to two people that were with me at camp. It was sooo freaky. Glad to hear your better now!:wave:

Yeah, I ordered my new system...it's gonna be amazing hehe, but I got so many add-ons that it's gonna take two weeks just to build the thing. Anyway, judging from the " " after your last sentence, I'm hoping it's GOOD stuff you have to talk w/ me about haha...and don't both posting on your vacation from the vacation capital...that's not what vacations are for (unless, of course, you are "vacationing" with me to Disney World, in which case you arrive rested up and leave exhausted!)! Cheers, bud

I just got back from WdW, the first day I got there I went to Epcot with the purpose to ride mission:space. As I passed through on the monorail I saw them openiong the wall and letting people in. My friend and I ran there quickly. As I passed through the gravity wheel, I was stopped by a CM right before you go into the preshow so I started talking to him. I asked if alot of locals come and ride everyday, he said "kinda, but there is this one kid who comes more than anybody with his digital camera and takes a bunch of pctures and posts them on the web" I asked if this kid was about 15 and had freckels and he said yes. So ISTCrew, your famous.



P.S. I asked if it had a lot of breakdowns and he said "Not at all" so i smiled and said "wow, unlike test track" and he laughed and said "Its not like that peice of junk!"
