To answer a few questions...

There are 10 AGV vehicles total, and 99% of the time we run 4 vehicles on each side, so 8 total cycling. One of the spares is stored in a room designed only to hold a spare vehicle, the other is stored in the maitenance bay, which is also on the ground floor.It has it's ups and downs. :animwink:

Literally though, despite some issues which I won't get into here, its definitely one of the best frontline CM roles at WDW. Its not for everyone, and not everyone that ends up working there enjoys it, but I have a lot of fun with it.

And yes, we get many CPs.

Some of the best attraction CM's were at ToT. I think the best one I ever had was actually at ToT aswell. I remembered he kept doing different things (b/c my dad and i loop it like 4-6x in a row) just to scare guests. He would walk up behind guests right after the TV cut out so when the lights came back on....BAM!

I coulda sworn he was the dude on the ToT picture, but maybe I'm just imagening things :shrug:

If you want a good read about TOT. The Disney Imagineer's book has a solid 4 pages on TOT. It is really interesting, but basically I would recommend that book to anyone.

I don't think this has been mentioned already in this thread...

The World's greatest feeling: When you first enter the AC.

If seems like the AC at TOT is superior to other attractions, to create this magical feeling.

I always take some pictures while I am waiting in Line at TOT...
Did you ride TOT when it first opened? It was so much different than it is now. I think back then it was even more scary. They used to drop it all the way down..and you didn't even know when it would happen at all. It was crazy. The first time I rode I sat right in front and they didn't have the belts they have now, I thought I was going to fall right out of it.
Wished I had that picture of me to post. It was the funniest thing ever.
:ROFLOL::hammer:

Here is a ToT worldwide fact for you:

Otis elevator supplied the ToT equipment for WDW, DCA, and DLP versions.
Mitsubishi supplied the equipment for TDS version.

The ropes in the elevators get replaced every six months. Unlike the old 'hydrolators' at the United Technologies sponsored TLS, no where will you see the word OTIS on the elevators.
