A square edged mug? That's a good one to turn into a pencil holder.
It is only square edged on one side, so that will lend itself to left hand and right hand mugs. Still not a clever idea, really!
I agree with you that its just a transport system, however, aside from lack of ADA compliance, wasn't the backstage/rooftop views one of the reasons they closed it to begin with?
I was just the opposite. I love seeing how things look in the areas that I have been forbidden to see and how things work. But, to be honest, it never really crossed my mind that I should be all bent out of shape because I could see those dirty AC units on the roof. Foolish me, I kept thinking I was in a theme park, just to be enjoyed, but, not to be taken seriously. Just there for fun and that was provided by the ton.
I believe that a large reason had to do with two things. One, was that it was said that some of the less highly evolved riders were dropping things down on the people below and that some spitting was involved as well. Two, was that there were no restraints around them to prevent the same less highly evolved riders from falling out of them. As far as ADA was concerned, as long as they didn't remodel or improve it, there was no requirement to follow ADA regulation. Touch it for upgrade and then it was un-grandfathered.
I seem to recall an instance of someone jumping out and then trying to sue, as well.
I think the custodial worker that was killed by it also was a factor. I was in the MK that day, and the entire western side of Fantasyland was closed for at least half a day. Of course, cm's keeping Guests out did not give the real reason for the area closure, but it was in the newspaper.
Thanks for an actual update! Great pictures.
