Disney Cruse Line Guests First To Test Segway

From a good source, guests on the Disney Cruse line will be the first general public to ride the Segways. They'll be able to test them on the ships, and on Disney's private island (don't you want your own, island that is) Castaway Cay (sp?).

Also for Michel K., M:S has gone into cycle testing! Hip-hip-hor-ray!

Sounds very plausible, but define "good source."

How about a Disney CM in the know. Of course you can't always trust them, but he is true most of the time. Plus, MattK confermed it.

hmm, i think you and i, and the few other students on FIRST teams who rode them in florida would count as the first of the general public to have tried them, don't you think?

If you got in without a VIP pass, you were the general public, but I got in using a VIP pass, so I wasn't general public.

Oh well.

Now I have to book a 2 day cruse.

WMUR re-ran the report (as they do most of the time, like on the 6 & 11pm) and it looks like only the crew gets to ride. All the footage was of the crew, yet they said they would be able to "try". I dunno if that is to step-on or actualy rent and ride around.

we are not considered the general public. we are however special in FIRST's own little way. General Public is mainly the business world. Cruse Lines, Post Offices, All the different City depeartments Fire Police etc.. From what i hear. police officers in NYC and postal workers will be the first to inherit the use of Segway. nothing was finalized so im leaving it as a lil rumor that i picked up on in June

oh, hehe. my whole team got in without the VIP passes because we were talking with Bart and he just kinda brought us over to them, probably because our advisor was amazed that he was related to someone who started mad magazine
