A Grand Opening excursion is a fantastic idea. I've heard of tons of them. I've never been on one. I'd like to have been on many. Here's the news, these excursions cost money, they charge usually a large (for many) fee. If the promoters would realize many people do not have endless amounts of money and find the ability to offer lower cost tickets, people like myself could ride a lot more and the promoters could have more trains run to accomodate them. I really don't want to hear that 'Liability' excuse any more because that kills the show totally.
