Well, the best part USED to be in the queues of room #2 watching the video screen next to "Dave" the robot. It was cool seeing the not-so-special effects, like when you saw the pilot in the cockpit of a transport being attacked, and the asteroids or attacking alien space ships were being pulled up and down in the background with strings, kind of like a B-movie, which is the effect, I think, the park had in mind: a campy space adventure. "Thank you for flying DISPATCH- DIS- DI-DI-DI-DISASTER TRANSPORT," as "Dave" has said...

Y'know, I never spent enough time in that room ("CONTROL ROOM")to know much about what went on there. On the other hand, I have spent hours (total) in the "REPAIR BAY" listening to FRANC complain, in some cases about DAVE. I concluded that FRANC's personality is modeled on that of Marvin from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." I mean, they are both chronically depressed, surrounded by idiots, and stuck in menial dead-end jobs...
I do miss the explosion just after the mid-course brake, though...

Definately the old school robots and such that were in the queue line, but since that's gone now, I guess I'll just have to accept the AC.

I may work here, but I still think "Altitude with Attitude" beats anything that "Rules the sky".

The campy theming, when it was working, was cool. Now, the A/C...
It IS still a fun ride, though.

When D.Transport was Avilanch Run did it have any themeing. And was it a better ride than D.Transport now?

As Avalanche Run the themeing was as follows:
o The station had an 'alpine' look to it...you know, the stucco-and-beam appearance with the shake roof. If you go up the Space Spiral you can still see some of the shakes on the roof behind the steel facade. It looked a little like the decoration on the Hofbrau stand across the main midway.
o The vehicles had national flags on the hoods so that they would look like Olympic bobsleds.
That was pretty much it, just like the themeing of CP's other coasters.

RideMan, you are propably going to be the one who knows what I am talking about. They need a robot that is modeled after Zaphod Beeblebrox.

I have to agree with NELSON....the exit is the best part :)
No, actually...Disaster Transport is alright, but when you wait for 45 minutes in those small walkways you kinda feel like cattle going to be butchered. I try to avoid this ride at all costs!
If they would just add some effects and sound it would be better. I just think CP could use a better, or another indoor coaster.

Nah, what they REALLY need is a robot modeled after Eccentrica Gallumbits...
Oh, wait, this is a family park. Nevermind... ;)

For those of us who, sadly, never got to see the old Disaster Transport, what was it like, and just for fun, does anyone remember all three robots names?
