Yep that's the thing I am talking about. I always wondered what that was since it almost looked like a sound meter but that is silly since there are no neighbors to complain about the noise.

Now you know. You learn something new every day.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”
― Dr. Seuss

If it is under the track near the entrance, it is the number of the car that just went by. It helps the CMs with adding or taking a vehicle off the track.
That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing ut with us. Now I have a way of trying to have my brother see me when I'm on the course. Just tell him the car number in front of me :)

Doesn't he ride with you Len? Or is he on the ground trying to get pictures of you in action?

Mark has ridden TT in the past, but he is not a big fan of it. He usually sits out and looks at the cars in the exit.

It is so weird that it is a thrill ride and feels like one since you're riding in a car but I do not doubt it is a thrill ride. I bet the pitch meeting for that was an interesting one.

I know I tried to convince my Mom she could ride. She was scared off by all the warning signs. But when she asked the CM they told her the real danger is if the attraction needs to come to an abrupt stop. So she never has ridden TT :(

That's too bad, she is missing a fun ride.
