Actually what I was thinking was having it controlled by the starter
just like they control the tree now, but just have all three yellow
lights come on at the same time then the green light. Then, there
wouldn't be any problem with cars or workers on course. The only thing
I'd like to see changed is how the lights come down the tree, nothing
else like how cars stage or anything. It would put a little more variety
in the Pro thing, I think.
