@mathowie I love how TBD remains the last one To Be Defined

@mathowie

I’ll start. Top left. “09”. This means it is the 9th day of the month.

mathowie, 7 months ago

Ok I think we decoded most of these! (thanks all!)

date plus the time (October 9th, 2023 10:48pm)

Total Guest count: 15,836 riders (since 7:30am)

From 10pm-11pm (so far that hour at 10:48pm) 208 riders

TBD is the last puzzle. I think it’s total boarding something, where with 2 stops per loop, 500-ish full round trips total in 15 hours sounds right

mathowie, 7 months ago

The plot thickens! Took another shot at 3:01 today after a train left the station. The hourly count dropped to only 15, the TGC number seems cumulative! Maybe it’s not Total Guest Count but total train trips? Still not sure what the TBD number means

@mathowie They haven't decided what TBD means yet

chrisod, 7 months ago

@mathowie Total boarding doors? The number of times the doors opened?

@mathowie Anyway, I spent part of my morning reading operations guides for Disney monorails, including skimming a NTSB report on a monorail crash at Disney World, and operator checklists on archive.org.

@mathowie Time of (something) Departure?

mathowie, 7 months ago

@taoish Total Boarding Departures could maybe be it?

@mathowie
Total Guest Count? Total Boarding?

@mathowie love the pinned torx heads

mathowie, 7 months ago

@bruceoberg oh yeah! Though it’s funny anyone can buy a set of “security bits” at many hardware stores with a hollowed out torx bit

bruceoberg, 7 months ago

@mathowie they’ve become the perfect example of how “security via obscurity” is never secure.

wikkedstorm, 7 months ago

@mathowie tgc: total generated crashes. Tbd: time between deaths. Is my guess.

Chip_Unicorn, 7 months ago

@mathowie I think I can figure out the first two lines!

That means we're halfway there, right?

mathowie, 7 months ago

@jimfl yep! I took this photo around 11pm last night so 2200-2300 is probably number of riders

lippyduck, 7 months ago

@mathowie The number at the end of the 3rd line is to be decided.

waldoj, 7 months ago

@mathowie I didn't know that I was interested in this until this very moment.

@mathowie My guess for TGC is The Grand Californian, are the others are also monorail stops and…some method of denoting arrival times?

michaelcoyote, 7 months ago

@mathowie Any equipment maker names visible anywhere?

thomasfuchs, 7 months ago

@mathowie @TechConnectify can you enlighten us

ismh, 7 months ago
