When they built that elevator for Monorail, they narrowed part of the pathway through the dock. I don't think they can drive a sub through there anymore.
When the subs made that first right turn (through the dive bubbles), the tail of the subs would fishtail way over to the left. That fishtail area - at the base of the elevator - is now filled with concrete.

They could still probably make it work. I don't know how much of that concrete around the base of the elevator is necessary, and how much they'd have to chip away.

I can see the headlines now:
"Weak Elevator Foundation Causes Freak Accident At The Happiest Place On Earth."
More details at eleven...

I wanted to ride it at least once to see how bad it was. Unfortunetly it closed before I went to DCA for the first time.

"The weird greasy agent guy" lol :D
I could never figure out if he was a puppet or computer generated. No matter what though...he was creepy.[/quote]

He and his fellows are puppets. The heads are made from old pantyhose stuffed with ... I know not what. There was briefly a TV show (or a segment of one) that featured them a few years back. Can't remember the designer or the shows name right now -- I've got CRS from spending the whole freaking day filling Squeeze Breezes.

I kinda did like Super Snore Lame-O, in all its mediocre glory...probably because it made me laugh.
I would LOVE to see something happen with that corner of deadness besides Hollywood & Dine being used for private parties.
A Rockin' Roller Coaster sounds super-cool. I've never been on one.
...but what about the monorail track smack in the middle of everything? Can that be accomodated?
