Wow! I want my gondolas back! Although I'm kinda glad you can't turn on your home A/C long distance because it's hot where you are.

For real kitsch value, check out the full 14-minute version of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgCQWEyvdl4 (it's not all monorail rides). It drags for a bit, but then around 8:00, you get some of the new features of the central phone switching system, including "Speed dialing!" Call waiting!" "Call forwarding!" and maybe the ability to turn your oven off from far away....all using a rotary telephone!

I love the mailman-esque announcer, he sounds so depressed when he asks for everyone to exit on the right.
