David, on a scale of Big Thunder to Space Mountain, where does Expedition Everest stand? -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 10:09 16

        If you've never read my book, computers weren't powerful enough when they designed it. So, they had to wait. The sensors are woefully outdated. -- (edited) - David Aug 23, 10:50 1
