"Le Monstre" is not the world's largest wooden coaster - it is the world's
largest Wooden Racing (duel-tracked) coaster. The largest wooden coaster is
either the Texas Giant at SixFlags over Texas, or The Rattler, at SixFlags
Fiesta Texas - I can't remember which one of those two is it.
This sounds weird - but can you tell me about the doors? When they close, do
they close uniformly? Or like, do they close FAST then decelerate as they
meet? I'm obsessed with door closing routines. Is there a chime? Or a
flashing light, or warning or anything to tell when the doors are closing? I
*DIED* on the Walt Disney Monorail (MK VI by Bombardier) in 1994 when I
heard the two-tone chime before the doors close. I can hear it in my head
right now.

| (...) You'd love the SkyTrain here in Vancouver, BC Canada. It's completely computer controlled. No staff. It's doors chime when they are about to close and if you hold them open it starts chiming more and more until it buzzes. heh heh. Dean (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
