There is a switch of some kind under the front right side wheel well of the trains. I saw an op flip them on once. I would agree in saying they probably forget most of the time.

EDIT: Just reread this and it should have read the front right wheel well not bumper. Sorry about that.

Is it possible for a guest to access said switch while not violating any park or ride operation rules?

I'm going to guess yes because if it's under the front bumper then the gate to keep you from crossing will limit you. The 2nd train in the station is more plausible than the first one, but you will still be crossing a gate.

I would guess just simply asking them to flip the switch or at least for them to ask their supervisor to turn them on wouldn't hurt. Someone should try it if they see that the lights are off.

EDIT: Here is a picture that I took when I went to Christmas Town this year.

No, the new logo. It looks pretty bad like it's a shrink-wrapped mini-van advertising a WonderBread product.

Zachary! Don't be so critical! :p I have to say, this looks pretty bad, out of place, and funny. I had the thought that the old logo was going to stay...this is just weird...

Something along the lines of the new logo on Battering Ram would have been decent. Just white text with the white coaster tree, like everyone's said. Just keep it simple.

In all honesty, it looks like a grocery store logo...

You beat me to it pretzel kaiser. Went today and noticed that. And from a first person point of view let me just say it looks very unsightly. I think they should have the logo on there but make it black like the old logo and don't have the white background.
