Imagineers, engineers, whatever they were underneath it, working on it, plugging stuff in, oiling this up, doing that.
We're there for, I don't know, 45 minutes watching all of these guys do what they do just to make sure that it operates.
And these guys all look like competent adult people that were doing their job, right?
vetted by disney there for a long time understood the ride probably knew it like the back of their hand something went wrong they could fix it in a heartbeat with a piece of gum and some shoe leather right that's the way that they were kids at a pimple-faced uh you know 15 year old at uh running the mall parking lot carnival yeah running the mall parking lot zipper not trusting him with mine or my kids right i mean sometimes i go to those carnivals and i see they're literally using a clothes pin to hold you in and i'm like that can't possibly be safe yeah that carabiner's not gonna hold
But even, you know, stuff does happen at Disney too.
Like Disney just had an incident where someone died on their haunted mansion ride.
It's a very slow-moving ride.
Yeah, I don't see how anything could have... One of my favorite rides.
Anybody who's ever been on it knows that it's a sentimental favorite.
It still seems like a feat of engineering that they can make those ghosts look real.
Even though I know how it's done, I still don't understand it.
