Got my new plastic AP behind the Discovery Center with no waiting. Mentioned to TMs about hearing they had Kong preview tonight. They had no idea but verified it on their internal system for 4-9 and thanked me for the info.

Another Tidbit. There is a glaringly odd protocol at load and unload that will have you scratching your head and asking yourself "why?" However it could be something they can sell as merchandise.

And that is??? There's really no need for these vague posts anymore.

Wild... is it like those pneumatic things that hold open the back of an SUV? Is that what isn't working properly? I love this minutiae.

The doors open automatically but it seems all the themeing elements that have been put on them has caused them to be heavier than expected. So each door is checked and pushed completely up with these odd looking staffs before any guest is allowed on or off.

I love it. Excellent example of what can impact an attraction by a few seconds. It all adds up. Fascinating.

BTW, I asked about the motion tables occasionally not working. Apparently, they might need to keep a bike pump handy, that and a tire repair kit and some sudsy water. I mean, C'MON!!!

They set up a temporary pass swap station there just to the left of the back doors.

Seriously? I'm guessing the trucks are somehow way heavier than a four-car tram? It is the same pneumatic airbag motion bases from Hollywood, yes? Or is this far more advanced?

I believe it is the same system. Keep in mind, I am just having fun beating a dead horse. Call me Roseanne Roseannadanna.

Goodness, I just sent the most potentially offensive PM. I kinda sorta believe it will be understood if not frowned upon.

I'm surprised I've never been sent a harsh PM before.

So, how is this orchid attached to this foxtail palm? Are there wires? I think it looks stupid and illogical.
