LOL. Wouldn't you think seeing the Native American scene at least a dozen + times would have tipped them off?

Oh wait, what was I thinking? :D:

We have a computerized governer that limits us to 40 mph depending on the speed zone. The mfg states that the trains could go 118mph if we remove all the safeties that we have installed.

According to maintance, we actually can only go about 90mph and yes they have do it durring a test a few years back....

Yeah...these are the type that have two things written in crayon on their bathroom mirror as a reminder every morning:

Breathe in
Breathe out

almost makes me wonder how they ever make it out of the shower - lather, rinse, repeat...

True, but the stupider the guest, the more likely I am to send them up I-4.

For the truly obnoxious, I recommend SR-417!

Pretty Please? I promise I won't tell anyone what am stupid, really! You can tell the stupid ones...their the ones that don't have their shoes tied and are all bluish from not seeing the breath in, breath out sign in the bathroom mirror :twisted: .

Honestly, I never thought to stare at the interior of the monorail when there is scenery going on outside.
