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.

DID they do one of those "forced prespectives" on the ride to make it look more scary? I.E. youll hit your hands on the beam if you put them up?

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Agreed. I'm just a wuss when it comes to hitting my head. Seeing how my IQ fell the last five or six times I had a good head hit, I can't afford to have it happen again. I know there's plenty of space, and I'm sure I could even ride with my hands in the air and not hit anything, but it still scares the crap out of me. I actually don't mind the rough ride.Shorty82 wrote:I don't know the actual clearance of the beams (and I don't really want to know, partly because I don't know how high my head is above the tack) but it is probably more than it looks.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

UGH!!!!!
"What day does the '2-fer' end?" asks SG #1... "Ma'am, that promotion ended in April of 2007. " "So I JUST missed it... "
Mickey's Halloween Treat has been sold out for 2 weeks now. I have heard every excuse in the book about how we need to sell this guest a ticket because "I'm a AP holder" or because "we got evacuated and we DESERVE these tickets".. The fun one so far has been one of those American Express Titanium card holders that had their "vip concierge" call me BEGGING me to allow his guest to purchase tickets even after they were sold out.. What part of SOLD OUT don't any of these people understand??

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
One of my earliest traumatic memories is from an auto carwash. I was probably 3 or 4, and I was convinced that the spinning brushes were fan blades, and they were about to tear into the car.DisneyMom wrote:Does anyone else here get a sort of vertigo when they go thru the automatic car washes? I can't stand the optical illusion that the car is moving when it is staying in the exact same spot.....only the beginning of Space Mountain gives me that dizzy feeling, but it is more brief.
Also, does anyone else ever worry that they'll get smacked by a loose flying object on Space Mountain? I know, I have ISSUES.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
I bet MainStreet will wear the beer costume so as to attract certain SGT men.
Does anybody know why someone would spend time asking someone if they know the way to San Jose?
