Please God let this mean no more CGI Joan Rivers.

Worst, queue video, ever.

I'm hoping that this may be a poor mans MIB sans the interactivity. If they are able to squeeze downtown monstopolis in that building they might just have something.

I wonder if they'll keep the on-ride picture.


At any rate sometime, somewhere, there will be a trash heap containing 1 4' Woopie minimitronic, and the sun will shine a little bit more that day.

A bit of an update.

The severity of the riders' injuries has not been confirmed. Medical personnel have treated at least 35 people.

Several riders were carried from the scene on stretchers.

A spokesman for the city of Anaheim said two trains on the ride made contact at a slow speed.

The park remained open.


"There were 24 patients in the first train, 36 in the second," said Danielle Craig, a dispatch supervisor with the Anaheim Fire Department.

Police Sgt. Joseph Faria said the accident was described to him as a minor collision.

"One car bumped another," he said.

Two trains on the California Screamin' ride at Disney California Adventure bumped into each on Friday evening, leaving at least 60 riders with minor injuries.

The accident occurred just before 6:45 p.m. as one of the trains was coming was ending its ride and hit a second train that was loading passengers, said Michael Simpson, dispatcher for Metronet, which covers the Anaheim Fire Department.

Most of the injured complained of neck and back pain and some were being sent to local hospitals. Simpson said initial reports indicated that there were no serious injuries.

California Screamin' is one of the more popular rides at California Adventure. The ride is shaped too look like a silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head.
I don't post here enough to warrant a signature.

Each train holds 24 riders. If two trains collided, then how did this accident leave "at least 60 riders" with minor injuries (according to the article)?
