I never met the dude and I never want to! I'm sick of hearing Maynard this and Maynard that! Who the hell cares? There are quite a few other thousand CMs who do as good if not better job than him i'm sure.
Sure there are! They are the ones that make the whole experience great!
As far as Maynard.. He seems like a nice fellow (ran into him a couple times over the past few years as a guest) but the thing is he isn't on the attraction guide.. It's not "Mr Maynards Haunted Mansion" or "Jungle Cruise with Maynard!" and I know it might sound a little weird but they were saying at orientation about how the CMs were never supposed to be the attraction or their own show.. Except Mickey Mouse and his other character buddies.. =)
I was at Tiki yesterday and thinking about that.. I've never experienced Tiki with Maynard.. but I don't know if I would appreciate any CM dancing around the fountain or whatnot.. it takes away from the real show.. That's just IMHO o'course!!! =)

back to monrail...
what i've heard about the new fleet is that orange was taken away in peaices to serve as a blue print for the new mark VII monorails, purple, is mostly useless, i forget what it's problem was tho, red needs help bad, it literally breaks down at least once daily, and sounds terrible when it goes over head, and blue, well it hasn't lost anypart since i've been at the resort
and i haven't heard about it losing anything either.

Wow...I know Red sounds bad, but I didn't know its still randomly dying in random areas...I haven't seen it do that lately.
Seems like it might've been a better idea to send Red up instead of Orange...Orange might've had some more life in it...Either that or Purple since it doesn't even work now.
But holy crap, I thought those monorails were doing kinda okay. Seems like they're ready to explode. :shock:

I heard that Purple had been stripped of parts to keep the others working. Orange was chosen as the template to be shipped off because Purple didn't have a complete set of parts left to measure.

that's probly why purple is 10-7.
As for orange, it got the hell beat out of it while blue was getting it's referb, and red and purple were also referbing or something, but it was making round trips all day everyday in 1 train op, i'm almost thinking it'd be best to not use it as a blue print, in that it's delapidated. all i can say is that all the monorails are sacrficing lots right now, of course blue is in the best shape after having the most extensive rehab, i'm beeting that we'll be seeing the tractors pull red off the track sometime soon.

But that would make sense.

the originals are unavailable, don't you think it'd be cheaper to build off the blue print, run 4 train op, and not ship an entire monorail, instead of the current, use for parts, tear apart, and run [further] into the ground. i'm waiting for red to go 10-7 so and blue to run one train all day, that'll definatly put the pressure on WDI, and get that new fleet out there fast.

^ Haha, it'd probably make them have more flaws. Oh well, I'm hoping for the best for the new trains, and the old ones too, since they're falling apart.
