MattyFridays: I'm a hobbyist photographer, and I never take pictures of people unless they know I am. And even then, I don't put it on the internet unless they give me permission. Someone I know is very very sensitive about pictures of her children being on the net, and knowing all the creeps out there (and especially the creeps you don't know who are out there) who can blame her?

But I can see your point that if someone is wearing an outfit that's calling attention to her, it's a grey area.

The hurr part was supposed to show that I was joking.

mike.thesauce: if you're over 12, and don't have kids, and are STILL going to any disney park, mr. hanson would like to have a word with you.

/please have a seat over there.

I was in Orlando last month and went to Disney Word twice. I'm 23 and went with the 21 year old daughter of my mom's coworker. We had fun and went on rides and ate frozen bananas. I went by myself later that week because she was working and had like one tenth of the fun. You don't have to be a kid to enjoy Disney, but it helps to be with someone interested in having a good time.

brukmann: tiggerfan: 15 MPH. But yes, I was surprised at the amount of damage. At the same point, there is very little structural up there and the whole mess is made of composite panels. The real meat of the train starts behind where the pilot sits.

You have to consider that the entire force of a train-on-train wreck is constrained along one dimension, with only slight relief when the first car derails. I'm for trains being run by a virtual cockpit and the first car being solely sensors and impact-dissipaters.

Are you saying fly-by-wire? where no matter what commands the object won't respond? Was this Monorail designed by Airbus
and piloted by Air France? How bout airbags in passenger seats?

I'm guessing a forum related to all things Disney-parks.

I wouldn't be shocked. If you put a 100 soccer moms in a central location with the anonymity afforded by the internet and talk about snowflakes, of course you're going to have attitude problems.

MattyFridays: andrew131: MattyFridays: I think you'd make a lot more sense by saying if you were a single male over 25 and going to Disney alone, then you have a problem.

Not really, so many hot college girls work there. Perfect place if you're 25.

Fair point. I think "going alone" is the qualifier. It's kind of creepy if a single guy is walking alone in the park by himself.

I seem to have developed my wife calls the "Stabler Stare". Whenever I'm in a public place, I'm constantly looking for creeps with cell phones or digital cameras who are trying to take pictures they shouldn't be taking pics of.

Be careful when you admit to being overly suspicious of others. "The crime doth speak loudly in accusation" and your wife may find out some day.

disboards is one of the many Disney resorts forums; I only go to wdwmagic.com and allears.net for any disney news or info.

You oughta check out the guy in the thread about "newly licensed" driver tags. He has written out a complicated scenario about how that would make your teen driver a prime target for sexual predators.

girljen: Now I'm really curious to see if Disney World's radio traffic is recorded. That would be interesting to hear.

Yes, it is.fast_eddie2000: Then it's murder

Depends on who the responsible party/parties are and how they acted.

All I'm going to say is that I know for sure that at least 2 separate people had to violate standard operating guidelines for this to happen. It will be up to Orange County to determine if the actions constitute a criminal act or an accident.

I really don't want to get into it too much more because
A) It would be rampant speculation.
B) There is probably going to be a criminal investigation.
C) I've warned those that I could about the potential outcome we observed this morning. They know who they are and they have to live with it.

Actually, just a true crime buff. I'm a creep in that matter. I'm ghoulish when it comes to details at a crime scene. I also pick up on small details like the guy in Psych.

tiggerfan: soj4life: If pink backed up into purple, the fastest would be 15 mph. The driver in purple would have had seen pink backing into it and would have radioed to find out what is going on. They wouldn't back up trains so close on a normal run. If control for some reason didn't call purple to tell them pink was backing up or didn't realize it; the driver would have been radioing in that pink was going to hit him.

Assuming that
1. He was paying attention
2. He could get a transmission out. The nextel radio system seriously sucks.

I tend though to think that #1 was the issue, otherwise I assume he would have exited the train himself.



Poor guy probably wasn't paying attention. This happened at 2am, the last Spectromagic parade started at 12:30am that night... so the park probably wasn't closing till 1. Disney Transport (buses, boats, monorails) run 1 hour after closing. He was probably just finishing his last run of the night and dilly-dallying around the cockpit when it hit.

I have to imagine we won't see this happen again. Since it was negligence on someone in control and not a freak mechanical accident, Disney is going to clamp down hard. They despise it when people die on their property.

Do you pretend to be psychic and help the police? :P

If you're talking upskirt pictures, yeah that's reprehensible. But re your other comment, how do you avoid taking pictures of people at a NASCAR event or concert. I took photos and videos at a 4th of July concert and must have pictures of thousands of people. I even took a picture of a little boy and no one objected (alright, it was with the mother's camera and she asked me to take a picture of them).

In order to save space and time, Disney's decision to combine the Monorail with "It's a Small World" ends in disaster.

Oh but all the rest of the rides are fool proof, right? This is Disney.

Yeah, I was talking upskirts and other creep shots. When you're dealing with hundreds of people and details aren't discernible, that's OK, but when you're taking "secret pictures", that's really, really creepy.

I take it you've never been to Disney Land in CA and tried the old "People Mover".

You've obviously not been in the newer "Stitch Encounter" makeover of the old "Extra-terrorestrial Encounter" attraction. Or the abortion that is the Winnie the Pooh ride that replaced Mr. Toad. Or about 2 dozen other rides...

Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. That is all.

Worked for Disney for years, still work in tourism.. this is just sad. Fortunately at 2am, there's hardly anyone on the monorail at that time.

The driver probably fell asleep.. too sad.

Yes, that'll inspire confidence. Do you want to give the signal that, while it's not safe enough for your own employees, it's fine for guests?

Some creep has jacked off to a picture he has taken of you in public. Let that sink in. He likes that stare, he compares it to "Blue Steel."

tiggerfan:
Nope, you're looking at the accident in reverse. The truth is that purple was stopped and Pink backed into it, not the other way around. This definitely wasn't suicide.

This means I take pictures of people...Lots of people. The history of 20th century art photography is on my side, here. Candid pictures of other humans, regardless of their age, is acceptable. If you have a problem with that, too farking bad.

Unless you have a law enforcement officer with you, or are one yourself, I have no responsibility to allay your suspicions.

We were just there a couple weeks ago, and we rode up front with the operator just about every ride on the monorail ... scary.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

"According to witnesses, a monorail was returning from Epcot when it slammed into the rear of the other train."

How is this a head-on collision?

There's a big difference between taking a quick photo just for good memories of some hot woman acting like she's walking the catwalk on the sidewalk and strapping a camera to your shoe and following young girls around.

Big difference. Unfortunately, the SAVE TEH KEEDS people can't manage to discern the two. We're getting pretty close to the point that guys are sex offenders if tell a woman she looks pretty.
