Official SGT ADD thread
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Forget heelies, and band together with other ECVs and form a wall of ECVs that span the width of any pathway, and bowl over SG's :D: And to make things even more interesting, all plan to stop at the exact same time, and then back up (making sure to synchronize the backup beeps) and there ya go, you've created your own unofficial parade. Make sure to do this on the hour, every hour down Main Street :)

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
I just don't really get how CMs don't like dealing with ECVs. As a guest, yeah, they're a pain, but as a CM, you could join in on the ECV fun and people wouldn't mind that much. When I was in the jungle, after we loaded our rope boat (the boat where we load all transfers into) we sometimes have fun attempting to park these things, and even go joy riding. I remember we had little ECV races up the hill to see who can get up the hill and back before their boat came back to the dock. It's even better to get the guests in the ECVs to race each other up the hill and whoever wins gets to buy me a dole whip :)
