Not sure if this has been asked before…. But is there a Lego Building program,
similar to the Bricklink Studio… available as a app or can use on a iPad?

  Just checked mine, same issue; I wouldn't really worry about it though, as
the windscreen seems to have a little "give" to it due to the ratcheted connection
still a bit annoying nonetheless

Maybe it depends on how you build it.

Analogy (not sure if the story is true, but the phenomenom is real):
When the Japanese built the lines for the Shinkansen, they had trouble with the
catenaries.  It appeared that there was a resonance because the length between
pillars was too regular.  They solved the problem by specifying different lengths
between the pillars.
No proplem in France with the TGV lines.  No specification needed

So maybe you need to not be too precise in building the model and the problem
doesn’t appear

I wonder if anyone else has built this. I noticed, after building, that the windscreen
did not close properly and it looks like there is a tiny collision here (p. 102
in the online instructions - step 162). For myself I moved the white ingot pieces
back a stud and that solved the issue, but I'm less than happy with how the
result works - the ingots should line up with the printed tiles.

Hmm, yeah, it’s very tiny on my virtual model.  The kind of things you think
should be well under real parts’ tolerances… and actually isn’t

Huh. On the ride, the narrator is the "Ghost Host" who looks like this. He has
a different costume. However, the cast members who guide you in do, in fact,
have the same costume! That must be it!

I've got almost nothing you'd be interested in - I'm only interested!
Is there an E-printed 2 x 4 brick?

Does/would colour determine cost?

  They are so cool! Where do they even get them?? And why are they allowed to be
sold here? I thought that items like this directly from the TLG Factory was forbidden
to be sold here??[P=3626cpb2715,1][P=3626bpb2715,1]

They come from set #0000 Test Bricks:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=0000-1#T=S&O={%22rpp%22:%22100%22,%22iconly%22:0}

Joking aside, if I understand correctly, test bricks are produced as part of
TLG's manufacturing process. Some TLG employees like to keep test bricks
as souvenirs or to give to friends, much like retail store employees are allowed
to take cardboard boxes from work that would otherwise be discarded. Eventually,
some of them end up for sale on BrickLink. Some other types of rare items share
similar origins. I'm sure maxx3001, Stuart9, and other rare brick collectors
can provide more details about the origin of these bricks.

For 2x4 test bricks, produced in the 60s / 70s by chemical companies for Lego
( in moulds provided by Lego): they were given out as presents / were available
for employees for a few pennies.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3001special#T=S&O={%22st%22:%225%22,%22iconly%22:0}

A lot, because I would be bidding against you.
None of us has an intact sprue with the test parts attached.

The butler(s) is(are) the guide(s) that guide folks onto the ride. The part

original script for the ride. I don't know if this is true.

Yeah this is also my understanding (grew up going to disneyland) Its the dude
narrating the ride as far as I know
