Well there would be for anyone who was looking at her on the ride, however. To those on the ride with her, she would remain the same.
Good job the sign's nailed to the bar and stationary then.
Didn't the Doc have a shrinking ray gun? Might be able to rig it up in reverse? Probably safer than bringing a black hole in here
Interesting link BTW. thanks

it was certainly true when I was last there (~5 years ago.) I think it's against the law, but no one makes much effort to enforce it.
Ah, elite Arak at a pound a bottle - those were the days!

one butterbeer coming right up (well, if it's good enough for harry potter.)
But you can't go on the roller coaster till you grow another inch and a half, sorry.

Oh its ok, Its a proven fact that if you strech someone (i mean really strech them) out in the morning and rush them to measure you can get about half an inch i think. to get the other inch put on some really high shoes.

hey, if we could supercharge the ride to 99% the speed of light, wouldn't there be some sort of relativistic spatial dilation that would make her taller?

hmm...

It might be more prodcutive to create a small black hole, this would easily get her to be alot higher, and but then again, the ride would appear to be extremely long to us, and to those on the ride, she would be the same hight.
oh.... another small problem.... .... ... its a black hole.
we could have roxie ride maybe? test it out for us.

I wonder if it would be feasible to build a moebius strip roller coaster? We could stick it on Dogh'd's roof, like the one on the Stratosphere in Vegas, but it would be even cooler, coz you'd never run out of track, and it would be a perpetual corkscrew.
I guess gravity wouldn't help much, so the cart would have to be internally powered. And mounting the track might be tricky - some sort of mag-lev field perhaps?

As a vertically challenged person, I must point out that there is no relationship between height and IQ. I am also not sure I want to see a little girl in a bottle that has it's outsides on the inside. Jazak has a good idea with the black hole though.
