Re: Monorail Track Damaged by Cold Weather?

Happened several times while I was driving. It's annoying, especially when they take a couple days to get enough time to fix it and let it set.

Re: Monorail Track Damaged by Cold Weather?

I have no idea if it actually happened, but I suspect. The beams expand and contract with temperature. That's why there are expansion joints every fourth pylon (they look like aluminum combs).

Re: Ripsaw Falls Fire

Is it wrong that my first thought after hearing it was the "Duddly Do-Right" ride was: "Police are now looking for the suspected arson. He is described as having an 'olive' complextion, a thin handle-bar mustache, and wearing a black cape and top hat...." He doesn't start fires....

Re: The ESPN Zone Will Not Be Down For Breakfast

So that would mean they would only have an ESPN Zone at DL since WDW only has a cafe of sorts located at the Boardwalk Resort...

The food was alright but everything was expensive (though lunch discount made it somewhat alright)
