They were fun to ride because of the mini-domes that provided a cab view, but I certainly respect Mr. Weaver's perspective that they were miserable to operate... apparently just about everyone who ran them felt that way.It's ridiculous that they couldn't preserve at least one in a museum somewhere, though!
