[neilp] acknowledges the genius of [bristolz] for reminding him of the air hockey phenomenon

Replace travelators (booooring) with air hockey style walkways, at each end is a repository for trays which you can borrow for the journey. Just place your tray on the travelairter, and do a little running jump and away you go.

       maybe add a large fan at the running end of the travelairtor to give extra horizontal momentum.

       [jtg] - could just introduce directional nozzles if that's your game

       Alternative everyone should wear wide flat shoes for increased stability. Though that's a Let's All and therefore invalid.

       actually, i think it would be better to tie the trays toghether. then the air wouuld turn the thing, so there is less friction and would go faster than normal moving sidewalk.
