Note to self, don't ride on Disney transportation if ectomstr has been on it's path anytime recently.

Actually, maybe ectomstr wouldn't mind posting a schedule for next October. That would give me time to pick alternate routes.

:D:

As evil as it is to say a few friends and I were talking and asked the question:

What's next? A parking tram, ferryboat, or Showcase boat?

Personally I want to see two ECVs go head to head. . . Too bad Super Soaps doesn't happen anymore.

I'd give an E ticket for this. ;) ECVs do almost collide in Chesters when we are slammed.

Yeah ECVs are still my biggest worry. One guy lost control coming out of the Monorail and broke a lady's ankle. Way to ruin a vacation.

Wont say where but I've seen an ECV, and driver, go right off a load platform.

My friend worked as a ferry driver. She mentioned one night there was a male CM. He was going to fast on the ferry and crashed into a dock injuring about 12 guests. He was fired for safety. :eek:

Been there, seen that, grabbed the ECV by the handles and wheeled it around just in time to save an SG the experience of getting T-boned by a 65-ton steam locomotive.

Then she had the nerve to bitch when I told her she had to go back down the exit and couldn't ride!

Yeah, those are the days in the Kingdom I miss... not!

He had to. He would have be tied up with paperwork for hours and hours if he didn't. :twisted:
