They have a whole trailer load full of dummies for Le Monstre.



If you need a whole bunch of water dummies to fill up and test your ride it is not shocking that a few employees with markers would have a little fun with them.  One of them was named Robb.  I wonder who he is?  ;-)



Having four trains consisting of a grand total of twenty cars Le Monstre needs a huge garage for them so that they can be worked on and maintained.



If you are going to let a bunch of coaster enthusiasts in there of course we're going to geek out and check everything out that we can.



I mean how often do you get the chance to crawl under a coaster train and get up close and personal with everything that makes it work?  I've done it a few times starting when I was three when Old Chicago had the lead car to the Chicago Loop sitting on blocks at a local air show in order to promote the park.  It is as fun to crawl under the cars to check it out now as it was back then.
