Unless you know something I don't know, last time I checked, every dining location on property, regardless of whether or not it serves alcohol, is rotating at a speed of roughly 1,000 miles per hour.

[spoiler]Granted, the rest of the planet is rotating at a similar speed, so we don't tend to notice the rotation of the restaurants, but the point remains[/spoiler]

Yes, but that would mean that the Garden Grill is moving approximately like the Tea Cups. Course that would add yet another dimension to the Tea Cup Ride, but we really don't need to go there. Garden Grill would not a good drinking location I don't think.

I would go for the original. I never got to experience it, but it still sounds great.

First, welcome Dziactor.

Second...um...if you take a look at my first post, while I'm sure lots of folks would like the original back, that isn't an option for "fixing" the ride in this hypothetical situation. Sorry about that!

The beverage committee should be here soon, as should the marsupials and Lasolimu with the safety spiel. Save the drink for after the last, you'll need it...

Hello, Dziactor, and on behalf of all of StupidGuestTricks.com and The Marsupial Welcoming Committee,

:sgthello:

That is Monorail Coral as it appeared for several minutes after they took Tron off of her. Such a good train when I drove her, nice and smooth. So we wanted to use Coral.

And if you choose something alcoholic, wait until certified fire-free.

You know, now that we have the Tronorail and the Avengers examples, we might need to see about putting a better wrap on the Marsuporail.

Please keep your hands, arms, and legs safely inside the website at all times and enjoy your stay.

*this instance of warm is actually hot**... very hot
