Morse Code on SSE

[Phonedave]

I was riding the refurbished SSE for the first time this weekend, and I was wondering if the Morse code that is being "played" actually translate to anything on this ride, much like the Morse code in the Main Street Station does?

Does anybody know?

It's something about the Golden Spike at Promontory Point and the completion of the transcontinental railroad...

Prior to the refurbishment, I believe it was a message regarding the completion of the transcontinental railroad. I'm not sure if that has changed.

I seem to remember someone saying that it now also talks about Amelia Earhart.

Maybe some folks on these boards will say it translates into a message that the descent that follows is a travesty to mankind.

I don't know about Morse Code on Main Street, but perhaps your'e thinking of the telegraph sound coming from the New Orleans Square train station at Disneyland. In that instance, the telegraph is tapping out Walt Disney's speech at the opening ceremony. ("To all who come to this happy place, welcome." etc)

As for SSE, I believe it's still tapping out the message about the golden spike and the transcontinental railroad. (The two guys there at the desk actually say the words as they transcribe the message). The Amelia Earhart info comes from the newscaster inside the radio booth on the opposite side of the ride track.

I'm not sure about Main Street Station, but Disneyland's Frontielrland Station has a morse code message played that is actually a portion of Walt's opening day dedication of the park ("to all who come to this happy place..."). However, I've heard from a few sources that it's not entirely correct.

Edit: looks like we were posting at the same time.

Yeah, I was thinking about DL, and put Main Street instead of New Orleans.

As far as I know there is no Morse Code at Main Street Station in WDW. The only "secret" that I know of there are the items on the shelf.
