Not at All. That is the reason. The Front load axle is located behind the driver,
and the cab is set in front of the system. This all means that the max wait is
2000 lbs. Though this can be rather mean, some people weigh more than others.
(some pilots too, I weigh 270 myself) That is why we allow only four. At least
this was how it was explained to me by Mr. Monorail. :)

Yeah, that's kind of the same reason for our # limitations on Peter Pan. It's no
more than 3 people no matter what. (well, except babies in carriers are
considered one with the adult) I'm not sure what the max weight is, but I know
that there are plenty of times when someone wants to put 2 adults and 2 small
children and we can't let them. I know they weigh less than 3 adults, but the
rule is 3. Hopefully someday that'll change and we can have those really small
groups of 4 on.

I paid good money for my vacation and I should be allowed to ride up front and ask whatever I want.
That's all I have to say about that <doing a better Hank Hill than someone else on this board>

Uh, JP told me about an incident where someone E-Closed all the doors on the
train. Just make sure he doesn't hit that button.

That statement is the why to over half of the SGT we see daily. :)
And I do not sell propane and propane accessories.

Why not? I think you'd get rid of quite a few SGs that way! 'Course, you'd get
rid of the nice ones too... maybe we make a PropaneLand, where only SGs are
admitted, and the nice guests can go watch from a distance.

stand next to that gas pump. What? No, it's not charred, just decorated."

I'm going to apologize to the ladies for this right off the bat :)
If I was a monorail pilot and there was an annoying family up there with me, or
someone barged in, I'd do my best to float an air biscuit (not a problem if I eat a
bunch of

) and hope for the best :twisted:
I'm surprised I didn't find a smiley of that...

good solution. I have always found that the runs are not that bad. Most of the
time when people annoy me I stop talking to them and act like one of the simple
errors is something major. (IE calling in a repeditive door malfunction, or Smart
Tire alert) that usually works. :machine:
