Given your experiences with the elevator after posting your last thread... I'd suggest you stay away from theme parks for the next little while.


My Story.

There used to be a "skyway" that ran across the length of the Canadian National Exhibition. It had these little compartments that could fit four people comfortably. I used to work at the CNE with the Boy Scouts (we ran a service that loaned out wheelchairs and supplied a Scout to push if you wanted). I was probably 13 or 14 at the time.

The CNE used to let the Scouts use the skyway for free as it was a quick way for us to get from the Dufferin Gate at one end to the Princes' Gate at the other.

My friend and I (I can't remember his name) got into a cabin by ourselves and when we were about half way across, the ride came to a halt. At first we thought nothing of it. But soon we began to wonder what the holdup was... it eventually took over an hour to get going.

In the meantime, we had a great view of the city, the lake and grounds of the CNE. Needless to say, we were late in getting to the Prince' Gate.

Never did find out what happened.
