Our crazy mom, and dad government, becomes more intrusive everyday. It does this so it can keep exspanding, and keep taking more, and more of our lives over. There will come a point where all the fun will be taken out of life in the name of public safety.

If a slope exceeds a 3% grade, then a handrail must be installed along the walkways and Paths of Travel. No problem, except for a city built on the side of a hill, like Whittier then is legally required to have handrails on a majority of its sidewalks. Guard rails on Alice, no problem. What are the plans for Casey Jr's evacuation proceedure if it breaks down on the lift? Somebody going to run up and put railing in all of the sudden?

Originally Posted By crapshoot <<OK, so then there IS a plan in place for evacuating that particular ride. Geez.>> I never said there wasn't. What I said was that there is no way to evacuate people quickly enough in the event of a fire. Which is a real possibility, with a low probability. Quit making stuff up or better yet, do what I do, give these posts a second or third read before responding incorrectly. Double-sheeesh.

Bottom's up, so to speak.
