Yes, I heard some trams have doors now. Waiting for a guest to get throat stuck in door.

You do know this is why flammable and inflammable mean the same thing right? Flammable is the new word, clarified for the stupid.


As for the microwave sign... why didn't they write "WILL BE HOT" instead of "may be hot". You know they will sue and say "It said MAY BE HOT, we thought our chances were pretty good that it wouldn't scald our child since real life ends at WDW and the microwaves are just magic perfect heating boxes we couldn't afford in the real world."

But you know what I hate? The jackass that has to point out "did they really need to put up a sign about that?" Yes dipshit, they had to put up a sign about it because some idiot did it. That's why we put up a sign. This instance was on the tram (to keep to the point of this thread) and referring to the sign about closing your stroller. "Did they really? I mean, there is no room to have an open stroller on here." Of course there's room, you lift the entire stroller with child in it and put the wheels on the seats! Or across two seatbacks! The irony that you point out the stupidity of a sign without having the imagination to imagine the root cause of the sign. Child in stroller on tram roof.

Turns around and asks the tram host in the back "did they really need that sign?"

Tram guy replies on mic: "{kssshhhh}, YES, DIPSHIT, THEY REALLY DID NEED THE SIGN, NOW GET OFF MY TRAM."

My personal favorite, and few people will know this one "DO NOT BOIL" insoles. It's up there with "FRONT, TOWARDS ENEMY". In fact, there were insoles you boiled, and insoles you DO NOT BOIL. Otherwise, why would we waste time printing DO NOT BOIL on them?

the reason of "front, towards enemy" on the claymore mines was so if setting them in the dark, you could also "feel" the warning and know which way, besides the fact they were convex and that "side" with the warning went toward the bad guys and the smaller side went towards what you didn't want blowed up. :cool:

Good point. I never thought about it that way, they just felt right. I would tell people it was for the lowest possible ASVAB, or so that we didn't need to print manuals when we supplied people with arms.

But there was always that fool that would question it... then point something the wrong way.

I am just waiting for a automatic siding like the trains at the MK. The guests would probably still try to get out while the tram is in motion. :twisted:

It's like the safety rules at a swimming pool: Stay out of the water if a thunder storm is present. Lightening might cause major injury to you and others. :D:

WDWRR has the sliding type doors that close like a deadbolt right?

Often wondered if a CM could slam those on a SG's nads given the right timing and height.

Nope, the trains are open on the right-hand side.


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.

At TL I have had Guests ask me why we are temporarily closing when the storm is still a couple of miles away.

My response, in my best Rodney Dangerfield tone, is "Do you know how much paperwork is involved if a Guest gets struck by lightning?"

Shorty82,

That's odd. When Mo, Christina and I went on the train. They said not to get out right away. There was a barier on the right. They moved it down and let us off the train in Frontierland. I remember seeing this 2 years ago.

Maybe it was the Tomorrowland Transit SGmover then. Something had a door worthy of adjusting the actuator for nad slamming purposes.
