Also giving this more thought (and far more than it deserves), if the train has not yet pulled into the station, are you just dropping people onto the third rail? There would seem to have to be a "holding tank" at the bottom of the slide.
]]>Actually, it would fly...that's the problem.
]]>That did cross my mind, but people should slide at their own risk. Maybe the gate should be placed at the top of the slide preventing people from sliding until the train is approaching the station. Better yet, the CTA personnel that are at each station can serve as "life guards" telling people when it is safe to jump.
I'd have to disagree. Like the mono rail at Disney, the CTA L, rides on rails (two instead of one), the train is driven by someone, both the CTA and the monorail pass by many different "lands" and stop at these places to let people off and new people board, both require a ticket to board, both have been involved in accidents (although the Monorail has had a lot less than the L). So it can be argued that riding the L is a lot like riding the monorail at Disney since both povide the passengers they will never forget.
]]>There is a similar situation with the Tampa Airport terminal shuttle, where there are things that look like elevator doors, except, when they open, they provide access to the people mover car.
]]>Can we get the CTA to change the lines names to reflect Disney characters instead of colors?
]]>Please not that this is just an ad by Volkswagen. In real live we don't have any fun here.
