Disney admits death on property.And a mono-rail (mono equals one and rail equals rail) is the cause? This might be enough earth shattering news to make me want to move back to North Haverbrook.

it's interesting the title says "admits" because I have heard they hide deaths...
I mean haven't we all heard of the kid on Space Mountain who, during a stall in the ride, stood up and then it started and got decapitated??
I didn't ride that ride until I was 17 because of the story and I ducked the whole time, afraid that my tallness would get me decapitated

We are going to be heading out to Disney for a week in just under a weeks time. I gotta say. That is some good timing. I hope they have the monorail back up in time. I think the kids would enjoy the ride.
Is it just me or do they always smell funny on the inside?

No you're right. I went 2 years ago and it smelled like Feet and a gym bag that hasnt had the contents taken out for over a week. You'd think they could spend 5min with a rug doctor in there, clean the carpet, spray some fabreeze around and make it presentable... Probably why the driver died. could handle the stench in there anymore and wanted to take his chances leaping out of it. |

Disney has a hard row to hoe these days, but I cannot believe they comped to any issue with their facilities. I heard Universal Studios has been cutting corners to make ends meet. A good friend of ours works the Poseidon's Adventure thingymastandaround deal. They've apparently stopped using water in the connection tunnel between stage one and stage two of the show.
The fucking water tunnel was easily the coolest thing about that ride. Bastards.
I didn't ride space mountain til I was 19 due to fear. Weird.

I knew someone who worked at the claims department at disney. Lots of weird stuff.
One guy boned his finger on space mountain. He was super tall with 'rang'tang arms. Caught his wedding band on a low hanging planet.

Yes, that was the coolest thing about that ride and I was very disappointed that there wasn't any water. It was about 6 months ago last time we went and I thought maybe it was water restrictions that caused them to stop with the cool water tunnel deal. It really was the only good thing about the ride. |

Occasionally a malfunction is to blame in train accidents and these sorts of things. It seems more often that not that the reason they happen is because someone with a mindless job of flipping switches and communicating with drivers, hasn't done their job. And loosely related...I swear if I hear or see one more piece on the pilot who landed in the Hudson, I'm going t do an Elvis on the TV. He did his job, far from being a hero.

If part of your job description is itself heroic, like "Save hundreds of lives in an unexpected emergency situation during which you are in charge", and you succeed at doing that, then you are a hero, by definition. |

"arvino ergo ovo" ("I bacon, therefore I eggs") The difference between the almost-right word and the right word is really a large matter: it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. |

Alice says it smells like elephants, which after going to the zoo recently is not a bad description. |

Nonsense. I fly that route in Google Earth twice a week, and I have no problems performing a decent approach on the Hudson, wind notwithstanding. It is a child's runway. Now I-4? I-4 is man's work. So hard to needle up on those lanes. |

You should try dropping into Bogata. 2000 foot peak drop straight down while hitting the brakes so you can hit the runway and not run off the backend. |
