Tram riot on the 17th? - Page 2

MickeyLumbo · 07-19-2005, 04:18 PM

Kevy Baby, Gus Gus, Goin2Dland, Borneo and myself were there... (though it was then that Kevy Baby and Gus Gus realized that they had left prized possesions inside Disneyland locker...so they had to head back to the Main Gate)

the first tram, full of people became disabled while there were hundreds of people waiting to load the next and more walking up to the scene.

a second tram pulled up along side the disabled tram and the guests were instructed to exit from the drivers side and board the new tram...
meanwhile, the waiting guests begin filling the now empty disabled tram (oops) - they were instructed not to board, but did anyway, and CMs had to "make them" disembark. the CM that blamed himself for the problem was unaware that the tram was disabled and had said it was ok to board - when in fact, it wasn't. Tired Guests were confused and frustrated.

the "cheer" you heard was the delight of guests as the second tram began to return them to the parking structure. meanwhile, a third tram pulled up behind the disabled tram and a mass exudus began rushing that tram - while Borneo and I managed to find a seat, Goin2Dland was left behind, despite my effort of getting 6 tiny japanese guests to make room for the Captain. sorry Jimbo.

after Borneo and I got to the parking Structure tram area, and were saying our goodbyes, the next tram was pulling up with two uniformed APD officers on the back. everything was under control at that point.

perhaps for the 51st birthday we can "take over a tram"

No, it's a small tram afterall.

LOL, indeed. as a matter of fact, following that incident i mentioned to Borneo, i recalled the old (pre-1974) trams with benches that faced OUT so guests were back to back facing either the drivers left or right. the color scheme was blue and yellow and capacity was no more than 100 guests at a time!

and the Hotel tram was even shorter:

ps...for those that don't remember this... this is image is within 50 feet of the Hotel Monorail Station... the exact same place that the DTD Station is now. the Station NEVER moved. meaning, this is what that area of DTD used to look like:

It can mow the landscaping while transporting guests!

My, Disneyland has grown.

Right now I'm trying to figure out why a certain pair of photos were not uploaded by my darling wife yesterday.

Hmm, that's weird. Back in a few...

We walked to the structure, decided to take the stairs, and noticed this little beauty.

We couldn't resist.

Does this count as visiting the original parking lot?

That is so cool! I take it that the keys weren't in the ignition?
