We're getting a lot of complaints from commuters who were routed onto a coaster, but the theme park patrons who spent hours stuck on an intercity line are also not happy.

Interoperability [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[A close-up shot of Black Hat from the shoulders up] Black Hat: Compatibility and interoperability are so important.

[A zoom out reveals that Black Hat is standing in front of and pointing at a diagram showing a commuter subway car and a rollercoaster car, and the tracks they both run on. Standing next to him are Cueball and Hairbun] Black Hat: For example, most subway rails are 143.5 cm apart. But many roller coasters use a narrower 110 cm gauge.

[This panel shows only Black Hat] Black Hat: For the last few years, our company has been quietly retrofitting roller coasters to use 143.5 cm tracks.

[Black Hat now has his fists raised] Black Hat: Soon, we can begin phase 2. Voice from off-panel: Maybe interoperability is actually bad. Black Hat: If you listen to the destination announcement while boarding, you'll be fine.

Shoutout to rollercoasters!!!! I love being autistic and hyperfixating over rollercoasters!!!! I love learning and talking about different models and materials and manufacturers!!! I love their evolution and history as well as telling my friends just how safe they really are (rollercoaster accidents are more rare than plane crashes)!!!!!!! I love waiting in line whether it’s 15 minutes or 2 hours!!!! I love how hard the ride ops work and I wish I could tell them all just how much I appreciate what they do!!!! I love their elements like loops and immelmann’s and cobra rolls and bunny hills!!! I love airtime and laterals!!!!!! I love treating myself to their merch!!!!!! I FUCKING LOVE ROLLERCOASTERS!!!!!!!

Expect decent amount of posts cuz last school week I locked in to get all my art shit in cuz I procrastinated a bunch lol

Anyways but I did The Smiler for a Travel Poster because despite me never riding the Rollercoaster or going to Alton Towers I absolutely LOVE the idea of it and I love hearing about the lore cuz forced happiness piques my interest immensely for a reason I can't explain. Plus I like the human versions of the ride they rock out :]
