Ok, so sat having my breakfast with 45 more days until I head back to the world, watching a video of spaceship earth, (Jeremy Irons Version of course!) and I have this wierd thought. How do you reckon they got all the ride vehicles on the track? With haunted mansion the track is fairly flat. So it wouldn't have been to difficult.
I can only think of two ways.
1. The cars were attatched to the track at the load/unload and were slowly winched up to the top with cables and pulleys,(a bit like when they do ride enveloping on coasters), and or with the motors on the track to assist and then slowly adding one car at a time until they were all added. (So eventually the first car added would have made a complete loop and joined back at load area.
2.the track was incomplete back at ground level and had a straight section where the cars were rolled onto one at a time and slowly nudged with a ratchet type device to hold them until the next one was added. So on and so forth.......
Anybody know or have any other theories?
