If guests find favor with the Jolly trolley, imagine how they'd enjoy sitting in a Matterhorn Bobsled. Or a Storybook Land Canal Boat. Or a Sunwheel car. Why, the Resort could expand out to include PAST attraction vehicles. (Who wouldn't love to sit in a Skyway Bucket or Peoplemover Car or Rocket Rod? OR... a Superstar Limo?) There could even be PROPOSED vehicles. (Come sit in a Dumbo's Circus Balloon!) And who's to say they have to be vehicles? If the demand can be illustrated by the data collected, perhaps we could all soon be sitting in an original Tiki Room chair, or a seat from the Carousel of Progress or the Fantasyland Theater. So you see, this is really valuable data that's being collected.

Then you could stick your hands, arms, feet, whatever you like outside the ride vehicle with nary a care in the world! WAAHOO!! <<--waves appendages wildly

Originally Posted By Nobody I profusely apologize for the above mess. On a somewhat related note, yesterday I had a young seven-year-old tell me that he thought he knew what an apostrophe was: "It's when something really bad happens, right?"

Originally Posted By bean another problem they had with running the trolley was the overly long outside line for roger when fastpass was added and the elaborate inside queue remain vacant only allowing groups of people to run thru it as they alternated fastpass people and standby people. Now with the simple re-configuration that allows the inside queue to be used i see no reason why the trolley does not run when the crowds are not excessive. As someone else said. It just looked terrible to have a trolley stop and tracks and no sign of a trolley anywhere.
Originally Posted By monorailblue This brings up an interesting consideration that I've rarely see noted. Let's assume that the Resort management decided that the Trolly should run on slower days (when it could navigate the streets safely). Then the result is you would actually have enhanced offerings for Guests when the park is less crowded--opposite what they normally do! The related (and rare observation) is this: The few remaining A's and B's at Disneyland (longer-time CMs, for those who don't know), have, historically, been able to pick and choose their days off moreso than any other CMs. Frequently, they were the only ones who had Saturdays and Sundays off. Result? All the less experienced (and, by extension, probably less efficient) CMs tend to work during the busiest periods--weekends! But the cream-of-the-crop tend to work the slower periods--weekdays! The same effect is had by considering that CTs (seasonal CMs) only work during slammed periods, but they the least experience in the park! So Guests who go during the off season not only enjoy the lightest crowds, the most temperate weather, the most experienced CMs, but now (based on our original assumption), more Attraction offerings! Granted, that is such an oversimplification as to be largely useless, but it does provide some food for thought, ¿no?
