That would cost money ... money is something Eisener loves ... you're lucky if you have 2 attractions. Though I still want the River....

I would count myself lucky if I had 2 attractions. I've been on the waiting list to crosstrain on vehicles for over five years ... and I've got experience driving a stick!

And no, I don't consider PAC to be a second attraction! Nothing attractive about that role at all. I hate

My question is why don't people learn to drive sticks any more? I learned to drive on a stick, I still drive a stick (and yes an automatic was an option). I love my car (yes it is red and yes it was made in germany....)

I learned on automatic but as soon as I learned stick I stayed with it. I hate it now if I have to drive someone automatic it's just sooooooo boring.

I learned how to drive on an automatic, but shortly after I learned how to drive a stick. I would rather drive a stick simply because I prefer it. I used to have a stick and I loved it, but now I have an automatic and I would rather have a stick. But I didn't have to pay for my car so I'll take it.

I paid for my car so I insisted on a stick. It also prevents half the population from wanting to barrow your car. You drink a stick? oh....

I know what you mean. Because my car is stick I know I can trist my friends with holding my keys or running out to my car cause I know they won't get very far if they try to play a joke and take it.

F you, i want to go to masion, but this stupid land lock bussiness. (and when i say F you, i mean it in the most endearing of ways.) Zazu, as far as Vehicles goes, if it's anything like the DL Vehicles, haha, GOOD FRIGGIN LUCK! i was at denny's with a bunch of CMs and our scheduler was with us, and someone asked him if they could get trained at vehicles or lincoln theater, and he laughed his ass of right in thier face, i'd aim for something more exciting anyway, i don't know what MK has to offer.

As for driving stick, i can do it if the clutch isn't crappy, so best not to let me hold the keys, but i won't do it in crowded parking lots, just because i'm not to keen on the "not popping the clutch" business, however, i am a fan of downshifting, instead of using my breaks, it's probly bad, but i do it in my automatic car, and i'll watch the tach, and pretend i dirve a manual, late at night, but i'm a "set cruise at 50 and make sure i don't hit anthing" driver, so paying attention to stick is a no go

ROTFL! I know exactly what you mean.

MK Vehicles are worse that DL. We normally operate only ONE, fercryinoutloud. Yes, we do have five working vehicles backstage. What's your point?

i'd aim for something more exciting anyway, i don't know what MK has to offer.

There are only five roles in Main Street Ops: Conductor, Engineer, Greeter, Vehicles, and PAC. Given that I'm already a Conductor and don't particularly want to be an Engineer, Vehicles is about as exciting an option as I get.

Well, there is a sixth role -- tour guide for the "Behind the Magic of Our Steam Trains" tour. But that starts at dark thirty in the morning and my seniority only gets me closing shifts. Since I know more about railroading than our entire managment team (not that hard), they want me to qualify for the tour. I told them I would just as soon as I nailed down an opening shift so I wouldn't be closing at midnight and back at dawn.

i'm a "set cruise at 50 and make sure i don't hit anthing" driver, so paying attention to stick is a no go

I love cruise control too. Makes it easier to concentrate on singing.

Weird, I know... but now that I'm getting Mansion, I have no reason to cross train anywhere else unless the landlock gets lifted. Unfortunetly I don't know for a fact who my trainer is, but someone told me it's Serey.

She was my trainer. She's rad. :D
