I feel partially responsible for them actually turning the blue train backwards. Back in the early to mid-90's I knew several of the guys that did TR's mechanical work. I use to always ask them why we aren't running a backwards train while PKI & PKD do. The first answer I got was that the PTC's on TR were built slightly different than the ones at the other parks due to the fact that TR's track was originally built to accomodate the heavy Riverview Jetstream trains. It would require some type of retrofit on the train to do it. Of course, I found that hard to accept, so I continued to hound them year after year about it (in a joking way of course). One of the guys actually called me and told me my wish was coming true the next season, that they were going to turn the blue side backwards. I was ecstatic!
My point is, yes, speaking up does make a difference.
