The in-park media network made sense to me.

A "did you know" sign in the queue would be neat, however there is really no need to advertise the ride at the entrance as the worlds largest bumper car floor, it is very popular and normally has one of the longer lines in the park.

The bumper stickers say "My other car is insured by Geico" they were there all summer.

Ok but what about rides with shorter lines like triple play for instance?

Stop quoting the person right above you. Just reply if you are the next poster or use the "^" key.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

I'm sure they were alot faster in the past, but they are over 30 years old, along with the transformer powering the ride. Everything in there could use an overhaul.

Yeah. I mean with a floor that big, why not make the cars fast?

Younger kids like to ride them too and can get hurt easier.^ Unless you make the height restrictions different but then it wouldn't be a actual family ride.

Oh come on. The whole ride idea is to dodge the other cars trying to hit you or to hit other cars. Have padded seat belts and let the cars go fastER but not too fast.

with no center island I think the frequency of head on collisions could be a factor in them being run slow if it's intentional (not sure if it is or not). And no matter how many signs you put up or of often they spiel not to engauge in head on collisions people will still do it.
