I've witnessed several amusement park operations where the Johnson Bar is never moved and the runners operate like they were driving a car with automatic transmission - all with the throttle. When you talk to them they will tell you the engine is unresponsive and sluggish. DUH.

A couple of these sites have a stop bar welded across the quadrant so that they can't be put in the corner. I guess someone figured out where they thought the "company notch" was.
