A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Ok, before I get to the video I have to ask. We all go to theme parks. We stand in lines to board rides, trams, even buses that takes us around the property. and every where we wait in line there is a rope, rail, or gate of some kind to keep us back away from the vehicle.
Why the heck have cities failed to do this with subway platforms?

I once read an article about a computer program designed to identify potential suicide risks on train platforms by their lingering time and movement pasterns. It could be something like that.

Amtrak has this in O C, or they did a few yrs. ago in Santa Ana.
