News Roger E. Broggie overhaul

[JoeCamel]

I know that, but since those 1st few days it’s only been 2. They usually have 3 train operations during the busiest times of the year (Holiday Season, Spring Break, 4 of July) and we didn’t see that at all in 2023. It only happened 1 time this year, and that was when Roger was testing during park hours. As far as Disneyland goes, the block light system was down for most of 2023, so they only ran 2 trains for safety purposes.

More operations cost more money.....

As far as Disneyland goes

I’m pretty sure Disneyland also hasn’t run 4 trains since they reopened after Covid.

The NOS fire

I must’ve missed this. What happened?

I must’ve missed this. What happened?

The building next to the NOS station had a fire and it damaged parts of the signaling system that took a long time to fix. During that time they could only operate 2 trains using radios to keep the station ahead always clear.

In the new video you can kinda hear how similar the Lonergan on Roger and the Crosby on Walter are.

I know Walter's Crosby and Roger's Lonergan sound almost to one another, but there's a big difference; the Crosby's chamber shapes were sharp arched with a much lower note, while the Lonergan's chambers were somewhat hexagonal and a rather higher note.

Welp, thanks to the video you posted on Walter's page, the two twins no longer sound alike anymore.

Now that Walter got the Baldwin whistle back, I would like to have a Lonergan 5 inch 3-chime on Roger:

BREAKING!!!! Disney is set to file permits for the Beyond Thunder Mountain Project in the coming days. Is there any chance the WDWRR has another closure during this construction?

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Is there any chance the WDWRR has another closure during this construction?

Sure - but who knows what that will mean. Could be a week. Could be years.

Of course back when they built splash they never closed - but things have changed.

Also, don't get me started on your sarcastic "haha" comment.

It’s not sarcastic… the Disneyland Engine crew are way more legit in my opinion. The dumbing down of engine controls only adds to that.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Oh, that I understand... Listen, I know wheel-slipping is not good to every locomotive, but I'm absolutely sensitive towards judgmental and snide behaviors.

Do you believe the WDW crew is better than the Disneyland crew?

 

[disneytrain2001]

Do you believe the WDW crew is better than the Disneyland crew?

Nah, far from it.

@disneytrain2001 As I’ve asked before, please let the wheel slip incident go. There’s no reason to keep mulling over it in this thread. Also, why are you trying to start beef with someone over a nearly 3 month old comment?

This was kind of nice with the Frontierland railroad entrance:

Disney FINALLY Fixed This Magic Kingdom Ride Entrance!

We just spotted a new addition in Frontierland in Magic Kingdom!

Oh, you're right, I'm sorry if this was completely pointless, and I should have known it was complete a waste of time... I was still bitter about the rude Twitter users' over-reaction on my mind.
