I hope they fix that. Actually, I did see earlier today a picture of the lift for the kid coaster tracks. It did have stairs instead of a flat surface. [happy]
Some vertical track pieces have no catwalk (or ladder for that matter). These are evacuated by rolling the train back down the lift slowly, but it should be noted that only some coaster types do this
I've seen stair cases for brake runs that are fairly high up, so it would be nice to see this too!
