Of course, they had to go to Honey, I shrunk the audience first.
That sounds more like my home layout. I have designed mono stations for the parks that the real trains don't do and have stations and attractions from both coasts. So MY monorail travels to both coasts as well as all four WDW parks and several resorts not currently represented in WDW (I have a FtWilderness and Wilderness Lodge station). And I have modified the trains and designed the controlling electronics that cause the trains to stop at each station and hold until the track ahead is clear. And if that wasn't enough, I actually have one train modified with a video camera built into the cab with a transmitter so I can actually "virtually ride" the train.

Actually I have way too many hobies. I do woodworking, electronic design, photography, video production, audio recording and editing, and I watch lots of DVDs (mostly Disney and old TV) and read LOTS of books. And this is just the top of the list. :cool:

Randy, I can host the photos for you if you'd like. I have a few websites :)

God help you if you're also a pilot and I ever meet you. We'll never stop talking. And I don't care how creepy you are, either :D:

I took ground school and passed my test easily, but never could come up with the dough to get any flight time. So I guess I am a halfway pilot. does that count? :D:

I'll have plenty of time with a 20 day stay in WDW in oct so maybe on your day off we can hit a park and just chatter the day away. :)

Sounds good! And bring pictures of Zazu's monorail setups.

I don't believe you.
Update:

I now have a Flikr.com account under the name onetrackrandy and I put my 3 photos of Zazu's pool layout on it. I am new enough on that site that I don't have any idea how to tell you all the address of the photos. But supposedly if you search for onetrackrandy you should be able to find my photos.

Note in 3b the identity of the strange person standing in the doorway has been disguised to protect the innocent. I am not quite sure if the "innocent" is Zazu or the folks who view the photo. :D: ;) :D:

Please let me know if you have any problems getting to the photos.

Nor apparantly how to spell "Flickr.com". :-) j/k

When I search for "onetrackrandy" I get an error telling me no photos were found.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Ok, I think I may have found out how to do this.

And there it is!

Now, I do have to say, being that it's Zazu building it, I'm a bit surprised there isn't a double track the whole way around.

That said, very nice!
