After they entered the station, they detached from the moving cable and were pulled into position and held steady by the ride attendants for unloading. They then had to be pushed around to the load position and were steadied by another ride op while you boarded. Once you were in and seated, the door was closed and the ride op pushed your bucket into the mechanism that closed the vehicles grip around the moving cable.

Really fine, thank you.<br /><br />I definitely prefer yesterday's Tomorrow to the one we got today, and the people have a lot to do with it.

Remember all the 1950's and 1960's shots that show triple-wide strollers and meetups of YouTubers all running their own TV show from Disneyland? They were as annoying back then as they are now.Fifthriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480975804451839176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-50965830815543439972019-11-13T18:21:09.832-08:002019-11-13T18:21:09.832-08:00Anthony - I will agree with you that the golden na...Anthony - I will agree with you that the golden nature of the past often causes us to forget that there were problems and issues that happened then, too...but...thanks to Reality TV and social media, more people tend to think only of themselves and put very little thought into how their actions might affect others. And while there are bad eggs in every generation, unfortunately it was someone from 2019 that jumped up and down on the bridge like an idiot and broke the slat.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-73171424486872419162019-11-13T08:43:38.749-08:002019-11-13T08:43:38.749-08:00I think it's easy to point the finger at gener...I think it's easy to point the finger at generational change, but there were bad eggs in every generation.

Should I say they were also more concerned about letting other folks have great experiences as well? Now it seems, it is all about what is best for us before considering anyone else. I hate times when I'm on an attraction- and this is especially bad at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion- when folks feel they have to do a collective narrative and ruin it for everyone, particularly first timers. This happened at Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom recently. My extended family who had never been on the ride, could hear the reshow because too many people were loudly talking. So inconsiderate! Of course, there are exceptions to every generalization.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165624045029517606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-21183375241533544692019-11-13T06:44:41.238-08:002019-11-13T06:44:41.238-08:00Rides worked because people worked.

Once people were broken, so were the rides. <br /><br />Thank God they took out everything dangerous in ToonTown so that no one would get injured in the bounce house or ball pit. Since then nothing truly violent and tragic ( and posted on YouTube ) has ever happened there. <br /><br />Love that last shot. That was the kinetic frenzy of motion I suspect Walt always had in his head when he thought of Tomorrowland.Fifthriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480975804451839176noreply@blogger.com
