Parks Game - Part 13 - Still PLAYING!

[outlander]

I'll have to dig deep into my vast vault of Disney knowledge to say -- none, it's not built with stone at all.

So very happy to see this pop up today -- I've missed it!

But...I worked so hard to fabricate that question!:upsidedow

Good to see you cabanafrau!

Let's get some REAL questions going! (haha...wow...I'm killing myself today:laughing: :sad2: )

[outlander]

Zip, zilch, nada, not a single solitary stone!
Welcome CountryTink! Good to have you here!

[cabanafrau]

Well, this is about as real a question as I can come up with at the moment. Guess my "vast vault of Disney knowledge" isn't.

Originally WDW had what was known as a STOLport. What was it used for for several years -- and what is it used for now?

[disneycruise05]

I know they've used the STOLport as a staging area for buses...but I'm not sure if that was a past use or the current one. It was originally used as an airport...a Short Take-Off and Landing port, actually. Disney envisioned a port for guests to travel directly to WDW, as opposed to MCO. I also believe the STOLport was built early enough that executives used it to fly into WDW during construction. I could be wrong, however.

So....final answer: the STOLport was used as an airport, then as a bus parking lot.

[cabanafrau]

Absolutely correct disneycruise! Your AAQ is ready for takeoff, please pick it up at the bus station.

[bellaDisneydncr]

bump.

[disneycruise05]

Oy vey! I always seem to forget to come back. Sorry about that, everyone. Here's a softball to get things rolling again:

Which Imagineer came out of retirement to sculpt the bust of George Bush for The Hall of Presidents?

[stopher1]

Blaine Gibson

[disneycruise05]

Blaine Gibson

Right you are! A sculpted AAQ to you!

[stopher1]

Thanks.

What real-world location was the inspiration for DHS' outdoor casual service eatery Sunset Ranch Market?

[stopher1]

Bump

[tinkbutt]

Is it the Hollywood/LA farmers Market?

[stopher1]

You bet! A great big, ripe, AAQ to you. :)

[tinkbutt]

In Downtown Disney in WDW there is a restaurant on aboat named Fulton's Crab House, what was it called before that?

[ChelleinNC]

The Empress Lily

[tinkbutt]

You would be correct!!!!

sorry it took so long to get back!

on with your Question!!!

[ChelleinNC]

Sorry I'm late :guilty:

Following up with: Who was The Empress Lilly named for?

[DisneyJen]

Sorry I'm late :guilty:

Following up with: Who was The Empress Lilly named for?

It was named after Walt's wife, Lilly.

[ChelleinNC]

It was named after Walt's wife, Lilly.

Correct! A row row row your boat AAQ to you :goodvibes

[DisneyJen]

Here's a softball to keep us moving along ...

Name the four parks in the order that they opened

[bellaDisneydncr]

The Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios (At the time of opening - Disney-MGM Studios), and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

[DisneyJen]

The Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios (At the time of opening - Disney-MGM Studios), and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

You are correct! A Four Park Fast Pass for you!

[bellaDisneydncr]

YAY! okay let me think:

When EPCOT was first being designed, the Imagineers did not want any images of the Fab 5 in the park. They were only to be in MK- what was created because of this?

[plutospup]

Was it "Figment & Dreamfinder"?

[bellaDisneydncr]

This may be, but not the answer i'm looking for!

keep trying all!

[tinkbutt]

I am thinking toon town because that would explain why MK would be there home!?

[gometros]

YAY! okay let me think:

When EPCOT was first being designed, the Imagineers did not want any images of the Fab 5 in the park. They were only to be in MK- what was created because of this?

Please remember to place your question in bold

I'm going to guess the EPCOT rings?

[bellaDisneydncr]

Please remember to place your question in bold

oh sorry about that :headache:

here's a hint:

These hidden treasures are so fun to find, a guidebook has been made for them.

[gometros]

oh sorry about that :headache:

here's a hint:

These hidden treasures are so fun to find, a guidebook has been made for them.

That was too good a hint - Hidden Mickeys?

[bellaDisneydncr]

That was too good a hint - Hidden Mickeys?

haha yep! A Hidden AAQ to you!

[disneycruise05]

Just a little bump to help us along! Whiparita, anybody? :banana: :drinking1

[DisneyJen]

The sun is definitely over the yardarm so I will take a whiparita.

Cashing in a very dusty AAQ from the original PG thread ...

In what attraction will you find fruit and a wedge of cheese?

[stopher1]

Would you be referring to the old Kitchen Kabaret?

[DisneyJen]

Would you be referring to the old Kitchen Kabaret?

Right park but wrong attraction!

[gometros]

I apologize for holding tings up. I missed the AAQ that I won. Thanks to DisneyJen for stepping in for me :worship:

[DisneyJen]

No problem Sandy ... Just keeping things moving along while we wait for the 3 p.m. parade:hippie:

[gometros]

No problem Sandy ... Just keeping things moving along while we wait for the 3 p.m. parade:hippie:

I'd say I'm jealous, but I'll be landing in Florida in exactly one wek :banana: :banana: :banana:

I'm walking around EPCOT in my mind and the only thing I can think of is KK's replacement - Food Rocks.

[DisneyJen]

I'd say I'm jealous, but I'll be landing in Florida in exactly one wek :banana: :banana: :banana:

I'm walking around EPCOT in my mind and the only thing I can think of is KK's replacement - Food Rocks.

Lucky you ... one week!

Keep walking around but don't head over to the World Showcase. The attraction is somewhere in Future World.

[ryley26]

How about Spaceship Earth

[outlander]

Am I too late for a whiparita?:banana:

[plutospup]

In what attraction will you find fruit and a wedge of cheese?

Is it "Journey Into Imagination with Figment"?

[stopher1]

Or is it the Mexico boat ride Gran Fiesta Tour?

[DisneyJen]

How about Spaceship Earth

Correct! In the Renaissance scene you see the fruit and cheese as well as an a painting in process. A paintbrush AAQ to Ryley!!

Am I too late for a whiparita?:banana:

Never too ... or too early ... see my tag:rotfl:

[ryley26]

Name the river you travel on Kali River Rapids

[stopher1]

It's the Chakranadi River

[ryley26]

Stopher your correct Floating AAQ to you

[stopher1]

Thanks!

Name 4 of the 5 classic and popular "then current" tv shows you might be "cast" in while visiting Superstar Television at Disney-MGM Studios after it first opened in 1989?

[gometros]

Home Improvement
Cheers
Gilligans Island
Bonanza
I Love Lucy

(and I was in two of them :) )

[stopher1]

Alright! And so heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's a classic TV AAQ to you gometros! :cool1:

[disneycruise05]

Whiparita, anybody?

Just a friendly bump to get things going.

[gometros]

Whiparita, anybody?

Just a friendly bump to get things going.

OMG! I'm soooo sorry. I should have assigned my AAQ to somebody else. I went on a cruise and forgot all about it. To get things going again, I'll toss out a softball.

What color should you ask for on Mission:Space if you want the milder version of the ride?

[tinkbutt]

GREEN I think Orange is the real one??!! right??

[gometros]

You got it! A gyrating AAQ to you Tink. You're up.

[ksdave]

WOW! I've been away so long! As one of the "originals" from Thread #1, I can't believe that this thread is slowing fading into oblivion. Now that I'm finally done with school (at the ripe young age of 49!), I'll make it my mission to keep this thread going. So, here's an oldy moldy question:

What is the name of the dog in Peter Pan's Flight?

[plutospup]

That dog would be "Nana".

Welcome back Ksdave! Let's make our New Year's resolution to revive the "Parks Game"!

[gometros]

Can we get an amen to that.

Dave - you give a whole new meaning to the term professional student :lmao:

[ksdave]

That dog would be "Nana".

Welcome back Ksdave! Let's make our New Year's resolution to revive the "Parks Game"!

Thanks for the welcome back, plutospup. And you are correct! A festive holiday AAQ to you!!

[DisneyJen]

Another original player checking back into the chalk circle ...

Batter up:lmao:

[plutospup]

Where would you find "Chubby Chedder"?

[DisneyJen]

Where would you find "Chubby Chedder"?

How about in "Food Rocks." I used to love that show ... Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit!

[gometros]

Wait, wasn't "Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit" from Kitchen Kabaret, Food Rocks' predecessor?

[disneycruise05]

I'm checking back in too! I'll have new questions hopefully soon once I start the College Program down at the World!

And Sandy, I believe you're right. "Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit" was from Kitchen Kabaret.

[DisneyJen]

Wait, wasn't "Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit" from Kitchen Kabaret, Food Rocks' predecessor?

You are right on the song source Sandy ... Guess it is old age on my part:scared1:

[plutospup]

A "Let's Exercise and Do The Twist" AAQ to DisneyJen!

In the spirit of the holidays a "Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit" AAQ to Gometros for remembering Food Rocks' predecessor, "Kitchen Kaberet"!

DisneyJen, you're up!

[DisneyJen]

Trading in this bright shiny new AAQ...

What are the names of the two tracks on Space Mountain?

[ryley26]

Alpha and Omega I believe?

[ksdave]

Alpha and Omega I believe?

I second that spacey answer :lmao: .

[DisneyJen]

Alpha and Omega I believe?

I second that spacey answer :lmao: .

A rocket ship shaped AAQ to ryley ... and one to KSDave as well since it is the season of giving:wizard:

[ksdave]

I'll spend my AAQ before it gets too old:

"Where do you hear ... "I am a lean, mean defensive machine?"

[plutospup]

Is that the bug that spews acid from "It's Tough to be a Bug"?

[gometros]

A "Let's Exercise and Do The Twist" AAQ to DisneyJen!

In the spirit of the holidays a "Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit" AAQ to Gometros for remembering Food Rocks' predecessor, "Kitchen Kaberet"!


One of my all-time faves and sorely missed

Is that the bug that spews acid from "It's Tough to be a Bug"?

I second that acidic answer

[ksdave]

Is that the bug that spews acid from "It's Tough to be a Bug"?

A creepy, crawly AAQ to you, plutospup! And a spidery second AAQ to Sandy!

[plutospup]

Name the four seating sections at "Festival of the Lion King".

[bellaDisneydncr]

Warthogs, Elephants, Lions, and Giraffes?

[plutospup]

Warthogs, Elephants, Lions, and Giraffes?

A "Grunting, Trumpeting, Roaring, Baaing AAQ" to bellaDisneydncer!

[ksdave]

I'll use one of my reallly old AAQ's to keep things moving:

What WDW attraction was discovered in the Yucatan?

[ksdave]

A "Wow, I did not think this question was so hard" BUMP :rolleyes: .

[tinkbyday]

I'll use one of my reallly old AAQ's to keep things moving:

What WDW attraction was discovered in the Yucatan?

The Disney RR

[ksdave]

Absolutely correct! A chugging AAQ to you!

Your turn to ask a question, tinkbyday.

[ksdave]

A "waiting on another question" bump. We cannot let a thread that started over seven years ago die!! :sad2:

[DisneyJen]

Agreed Dave ... perhaps we need to dust off some of these AAQ cards I have stashed here in the Chalk Circle to keep us moving along? Feel free to toss a question out there while I head over to Adventureland for a Dole Whiparita:goodvibes

[ksdave]

Here's a question that alot of people have to think about. No fair looking at photos:

How many cars are there in each monorail train?

[wagster92]

I believe that would be six?

[gometros]

A "waiting on another question" bump. We cannot let a thread that started over seven years ago die!! :sad2:

Technically, I think it really started just under a year ago. I cannot figure out why Higgs' original post is from 2004, but the first real post (Post #2) wasn't made until last February, unless he started the thread in anticipation of chapter 12 ending sooner than it did?

[ChelleinNC]

Don't forget though that the DIS had server issues/maintenance last January that closed a lot of old threads and they had to start new ones. I don't know when this one really started, but I'm sure I started answering Q's before February.

[ksdave]

I believe that would be six?

Absolutely correct! A sky-high AAQ card to you, wagster92.

Who wants to add the next question??


(BTW, when I spoke of the thread starting over 7 years ago, I was speaking of the original Parks Game thread, which was started on Sept. 18, 2001 by Supamaki. Now in its 13th edition, the Game continues. Let's shoot for a nice, round 10 years!!)

[wagster92]

I'll go ahead and cash in my AAQ card, since its my first question I'll start with the castle, How tall is Cinderella Castle and why?

[ksdave]

I am going to guess it is 199 feet tall. If it was any taller, they would have to put an aircraft anti-collision light on it.

[wagster92]

Great job ksdave! An AAQ card to you!

[ksdave]

OK, here is one that may be a little tricky:

Where in the world would you hear "It's raining, it's pouring"?

[dennisnlisab96]

I think I have got it....Tower of Terror?

[ksdave]

Correct, dennisnlisab96! You get a spooky-little-girl AAQ to use :lmao: .

[dennisnlisab96]

What was the name of the parade at Epcot during Disney Millenium Celebration???

[plutospup]

Was is it "Tapestry of Nations"?

[tinkbutt]

you beat me to it

[dennisnlisab96]

CORRECT!!!! Your turn with an AAQ.

[gometros]

Don't forget though that the DIS had server issues/maintenance last January that closed a lot of old threads and they had to start new ones. I don't know when this one really started, but I'm sure I started answering Q's before February.

Thanks for that. I didn't know or forgot about that.

TO keep things going, I'll cash in my AAQ and throw out a snowball:

What attraction was housed in the space now taken up by Mission:Space?

[DisneyJen]

Absolutely correct! A sky-high AAQ card to you, wagster92.

Who wants to add the next question??

Dave is correct on the history of the thread:wizard:

Thanks for that. I didn't know or forgot about that.

Would that be Horizons? Oh how I miss the scent of oranges from that scene in the orange tree fields.

[wagster92]

Way to ask a question only the older people would know! Haha, I mean the older, wiser people :thumbsup2

[gometros]

Way to ask a question only the older people would know! Haha, I mean the older, wiser people :thumbsup2

Watch who you are calling old, sonny :rotfl:

And DisneyJen comes through. Horizons it was (where is Horizons16 anyway?) A nostalgic AAQ to you, Jen.

And if I remember correctly, wasn't the Parks Thread started in response to the craziness of 9/11, as a way to take everyone's mind off of it? I think I found the thread not too long after it started.

[DisneyJen]

Hey ... I resemble that first remark:lmao:

You are correct that the thread was started a week after 9/11 occurred as a way to escape to our happy place.

Turning in the nostalgic AAQ to keep us moving along ...

Where do you hear a page for Tom, Mr. Tom Morrow?

[wagster92]

That would be the TTA in tom-morrowland! :cool1:

[DisneyJen]

That would be the TTA in tom-morrowland! :cool1:

You are correct wagster!

A futuristicly shaped AAQ to you!

[wagster92]

Whose dog is the dog in the Carousel of Progress modeled after?

[ksdave]

wagster92, I'll take a lazy swing at that one and say Walt Disney. Probably wrong, but I've had a long day of work with a 5 hour commute to Texas and six + hours of work.

Sandy;
Yes, the Parks Game thread was used to escape the horrors of 9/11. I remember first finding it about a week after it started and "meeting" WDWoldtimer, Higgs, you, DisneyJen, Madonna, etc. There was one point where we would go through 15-20 pages in a day! That was back when they limited each thread to 150 pages max, so that's how we ended up with "Part 13".
(PS: Glad to see you still have your WDWWDS title in your avatar area! :thumbsup2).

[wagster92]

ksdave, your lazy swing paid off, a well deserved AAQ to you!

[ksdave]

Wow, I guess I am more awake than I thought.

Here's my oldy-moldy question:

In what year did General Electric (GE) drop its sponsorship of Horizons?

[plutospup]

1999?

[ksdave]

1999?

No, quite a bit earlier actually.

[wagster92]

Sometime in the 80's?

Too bad threads aren't like that anymore, I discovered an acient thread that was started when this site was first put up, it went through the 150 page limit several times and was at like 500+ when I last looked at it a year ago, unfortunately I think it died out.

[ksdave]

Nope, not in the 80's.

I'll check again in the AM.

[plutospup]

Let's take another stab at this. How about... 1993?

[ksdave]

We have a winner! GE pulled its sponsorship from Horizons in 1993.

A futuristic AAQ to you, plutospup!

[gometros]

Hey ... I resemble that first remark:lmao:
[/B]

Jen - that wasn't aimed at you. It was for Wagster's remark about old timers :lmao:


(PS: Glad to see you still have your WDWWDS title in your avatar area! :thumbsup2).

I display that as a badge of honor. Btw, some of the old WDWWDS crowd are still around. The only one I lost track of is OT.

Patiently waiting for plutopup to wake up and ask the next question.

[DisneyJen]

Jen - that wasn't aimed at you. It was for Wagster's remark about old timers :lmao:


No worries Sandy ... the shoe fits:goodvibes albeit an old shoe:rotfl2:

Someone want to cash in an old AAQ while we wait for plutopup?

[gometros]

I'll give it a shot to keep it going.

There is one backstage area of the World Showcase that had to be covered up. Where is it, what was done and why?

[wagster92]

It's a ride that was boarded up, I think its maybe in America?


Wow, I had no clue what I was joining when I started posting on this thread! It's a nice way to pass the time though!

[disneycruise05]

Hmmm...maybe Italy? I seem to recall that there was to be an attraction where you rode in gondolas, but was cancelled before construction. Or maybe that was Canada. Or both. Heck, I can't remember. But I'm so happy the Game is back in business! :woohoo:

[wagster92]

If were talking behind the scenes like actually hiding things theres a generator behind Canade

[plutospup]

I think wagster92 is on to something. Isn't there a wall in Canada that can be seen from throughout World Showcase. I think they put some type of facade on it to blend in with the Canadian theme.

[ksdave]

Jen - that wasn't aimed at you. It was for Wagster's remark about old timers :lmao:



I display that as a badge of honor. Btw, some of the old WDWWDS crowd are still around. The only one I lost track of is OT.

Sandy;
I just "saw" OT on the "To Infinity....and Beyond" site on Christmas Day.

[wagster92]

I think wagster92 is on to something. Isn't there a wall in Canada that can be seen from throughout World Showcase. I think they put some type of facade on it to blend in with the Canadian theme.

If I remember correctly, I think theres a waterfall somewhere close to that wall to cover up the sound the generator makes

anyone want to cash in an AAQ while we're waiting for an answer? I would but.... I have none :guilty:

[plutospup]

... and to add to webster92's answer, I believe the waterfall/Rockies blocks the view of Imagination/Future World.

[wagster92]

... and to add to webster92's answer, I believe the waterfall/Rockies blocks the view of Imagination/Future World.

So the construction of Canada was done VERY carefully.

[ksdave]

If I remember correctly, I think theres a waterfall somewhere close to that wall to cover up the sound the generator makes

anyone want to cash in an AAQ while we're waiting for an answer? I would but.... I have none :guilty:

AAQ's are kind of arbitrary versus keeping the game moving. Go ahead and throw out a question and see if we can catch it :laughing: .

[wagster92]

Alright I'll see if I can pull a fast one....:thumbsup2

What is the name of the vine-like creature that roams Animal Kingdom?

[RAPstar]

Devine!

What is one of the names used by Walt to buy property in Fl for WDW?

[gometros]

Sandy;
I just "saw" OT on the "To Infinity....and Beyond" site on Christmas Day.

Really? I thought he dropped out of sight?

Keep guessing guys. It wasn't something that was covered up - more an extension of the onstage appearance to a backstage area. I learned this on the Keys to the Kingdom tour.

Hint: it had to do with something being added after the disguised attraction had already been built.

Remember to put your questions in bold so that they can easily be spotted.

[wagster92]

I got it! Is it the entrance to the lagoon that they use for the boat/floats? They disuised it as to not ruin the affect

[gometros]

Alright I'll see if I can pull a fast one....:thumbsup2

What is the name of the vine-like creature that roams Animal Kingdom?

De Vine

Devine!

What is one of the names used by Walt to buy property in Fl for WDW?

Yensid

I got it! Is it the entrance to the lagoon that they use for the boat/floats? They disuised it as to not ruin the affect

Nope, keep guessing. Another hint: It's a building facade that doesn't face the World Showcase, but faces backstage.

[DisneyJen]

Sandy,

Does it have to do with addition of the Villas at the Beach Club?

[wagster92]

Nope, keep guessing. Another hint: It's a building facade that doesn't face the World Showcase, but faces backstage.[/QUOTE]

So many hidden things! haha, wow this is a tough one

[DisneyJen]

I don't know about the rest of you ... but I think I am going to start at the front of the park by SE and work my way through ... toward International Gateway.

Who's in?:cool1:

[wagster92]

I don't know about the rest of you ... but I think I am going to start at the front of the park by SE and work my way through ... toward International Gateway.

Who's in?:cool1:

Is it the path to the boardwalk?

[DisneyJen]

Yep... the International Gateway is between France and the UK in Epcot and takes you to the BoardWalk if you bear to the left and the Beach Club if you bear to the right.

[wagster92]

Yep... the International Gateway is between France and the UK in Epcot and takes you to the BoardWalk if you bear to the left and the Beach Club if you bear to the right.

YAY! :cool1: That took some thought

In MGM, I forget the new name, by the New York facade in the back, there is a small gift shop, what's the name of this gift shop?

[ryley26]

Youse Guys Merchandise ?

[gometros]

Sandy,

Does it have to do with addition of the Villas at the Beach Club?

Is it the path to the boardwalk?

You guys are getting warmer. More specifically, it was the development of the Boardwalk that forced this change.

[wagster92]

gometros, I'm still pondering that one

Come on guys! We need to keep posting! Hey does anyone know about a thread for disney secrets? I tried to start one but it failed

[cabanafrau]

I'll give it a shot to keep it going.

There is one backstage area of the World Showcase that had to be covered up. Where is it, what was done and why?

Not sure I'm correct because of the Boardwalk clue, but I'm going to say the Tower of Terror, which is high enough to be seen from WS, but doesn't technically face it. The facade was covered in such a way that it wouldn't stick out, but rather blend into the look of the Moroccan pavilion.

[gometros]

I think I may have to correct myself on this, to avoid misleading you all. I believe it wasn't the Boardwalk that caused the cover up, but the construction of the Yacht & Beach Club that did it. Sorry and hope that helps.

After doing research via Google Earth, it looks like they had to redo the path from France to England so that guests didn't see the Yacht Club

[gometros]

You have the subjects right, but it's a reverse effect. They had to continue the facade to the back of the France building, since it could be seen from the Y&B Club

[wagster92]

You have the subjects right, but it's a reverse effect. They had to continue the facade to the back of the France building, since it could be seen from the Y&B Club

That's what that was! I got confused because it was French decor and then BAM there was beach


Alright, so why does The Garden Grill in the Land spin faster in the morning than in the evening?

[ksdave]

OK, time to keep it moving:

In what attraction can you hear the phrase.."Disappear, Disappear!"?

[DisneyJen]

OK, time to keep it moving:

In what attraction can you hear the phrase.."Disappear, Disappear!"?

Maestrom in Norway. We just rode this for the first time in a long time last month.

[ChelleinNC]

OK, time to keep it moving:

In what attraction can you hear the phrase.."Disappear, Disappear!"?

Malstrom in Norway

[ryley26]

Wagster I believe the answer to your question is because it take less time to eat breakfast. So to get a full revolution it needs to be faster.

P.S. Wagster when you post a question bold it . It just easier to find.

[wagster92]

Wagster I believe the answer to your question is because it take less time to eat brekfast. So to get a full revolution it needs to be faster.

P.S. Wagster when you post a question bold it . It just easier to find.

Correct! and yes I realized that after I posted, sorry everyone for the inconvenience

[Calle&Jakesmom]

I'll give it a try...

Did Walt live to see the opening of Disney World in Florida?

[ryley26]

NO he died before construction even began

[ksdave]

Malstrom in Norway

Correct! You have to watch out for those little guys :rotfl: .

You've earned a very chilly AAQ!

(PS: I may off the thread for a couple of days. I'll be in Orlando!!!)

[ksdave]

WOW! When I said I was leaving for a few days, I didn't mean to shut down the thread. Somebody needs to float a new question!

(BTW, yesterday I was within 100' of entering EPCOT, but just couldn't get myself to pay $72 (or whatever the single day ticket price is) for a couple of hours in the park. It looked quite crowded though. Wierd for a mid-January day).

[wagster92]

I'll give ask a quick question, At night in the Hollywood Studios, Tower of Terror has a few lights out in its banner, what does the banner say?

[disneycruise05]

Oy...it's been awhile! Whiparita, anyone?

I'll say "The Hollywo-d Tow-r Hotel."

[wagster92]

Oy...it's been awhile! Whiparita, anyone?

I'll say "The Hollywo-d Tow-r Hotel."

Wow that was just a little while, yes you get a creepy AAQ

[ksdave]

Sorry I haven't been around. Once I got back from my FL trip, things at work went haywire (and not in a good way). Now I'm working to make up for about 3 or 4 people who have "left".

I'll toss out another one:

Where in WDW can you find the town of Tumbleweed?

[cabanafrau]

You get a look at Tumbleweed when you catch a ride on the Big Thunder Mountain Rail Road.

[ksdave]

A dusty, small town AAQ to you, cabanafrau!

[cabanafrau]

Thanks ksdave.

Where can you take a peek at a three-headed troll?

[ryley26]

Maelstrom

[cabanafrau]

Absolutely, ryley26. I knew that one was too easy for this bunch! A slightly soggy AAQ to you.

[ksdave]

Is it The Maelstrom?

[gometros]

Is it The Maelstrom?

I think you're a little late on that one, dave :lmao:

I'm going to dust off a dusty AAQ to keep this thread rolling:

What are the significance of these three items: aluminum foil, a clothespin, and a candle?

[ryley26]

Bill Nye the Science Guy needs them for an Experiment in Ellen's Energy Adventure.

[wagster92]

I'll dust one off and ask a quick question, What tower must be disguised so it won't be recognized from the World Showcase?

[plutospup]

Hmmm... I think I have a 50-50 shot on this (Better than most of my answers!).

Is it the Tower of Terror?

[gometros]

Ryley hits that one out of the park. It was indeed Cornell grad Bill Nye the Science guy. A Big Bang AAQ to you for that one.

[wagster92]

Hmmm... I think I have a 50-50 shot on this (Better than most of my answers!).

Is it the Tower of Terror?

Yes, it had to be painted pink to match the Morocco area, a terror filled AAQ to you Plutospup!

[gometros]

What has happened to our thread? Last post on 2/18? This is unforgiveable. So to kick some life into the PG thread, I'm going to dust off an old AAQ with this softball:

Where will you hear the voice of funny man Don Rickles?

[MelanieC]

Where will you hear the voice of funny man Don Rickles?

Toy Story Mania

[gometros]

That is exactly the place, you hockey puck. A Mr. Potato Head AAQ to you for that answer. Let's keep this game going.

[wagster92]

I'm not trying to take the AAQ from anyone but to help give life back into the thread ill throw out another question

Which once famous ride's logo is displayed in The Mission Space standby line?

[plutospup]

Was the ride logo "Mission to the Moon"?

[wagster92]

Was the ride logo "Mission to the Moon"?

Nope, I don't know if Mission to the Moon was in Epcot or not but the attraction I'm talking about was in Epcot.

[kwitcherkicken99]

Isn't it Horizons??

[ksdave]

Isn't it Horizons??

I second that answer. Horizons is my all-time favorite theme park attraction anywhere. My friend and I once rode it seven consecutive times :banana:. That omnisphere section was awesome!!

[plutospup]

I'll third that answer! Yes, the omnisphere was a great part of Horizons!

[gometros]

wagster seems to have gone AWOL, I believe you all are correct, so one of you take the AAQ and keep us going.

I'm going to the World this weekend. I'll try to come back with some more new questions and maybe some "where is this" photos.

[ksdave]

Wow! Have a great time, Sandy. Have a Whipparita for all of us!!

Here's an oldy-moldy AAQ:

According to the monorail announcer as you appropach the Magic Kingdom, what is included in "Disney's Mountain Range"?

[plutospup]

Ride the mountains... Space Mountain, BTMRR, and Splash Mt.

[ksdave]

Ride the mountains... Space Mountain, BTMRR, and Splash Mt.

A high-altitude AAQ to you, plutospup! You got them all.
You're up :rotfl2:

[plutospup]

Pixar Place is located on what former avenue?

[ksdave]

Pixar Place is located on what former avenue?

I'll take a wild guess and say Avenue of the Stars.

[wagster92]

Isn't it Horizons??

Sorry for the delay, you are absolutely correct!

[plutospup]

I'll take a wild guess and say Avenue of the Stars.

A good guess, but incorrect. Keep on trying!

Pixar Place is located on what former avenue?

[ryley26]

Mickey Avenue

[plutospup]

An "M-I-C-K-E-Y" AAQ to Ryley! You're up.

[plutospup]

Ryley... or anyone else have an AAQ they want to use?

[ryley26]

What is the name of the river you travel on Kali river Rapids

[stopher1]

It's the Chakranadi River

[ryley26]

Correct Stopher A wet AAQ to you

[stopher1]

A classic 1946 film was used by the imagineers as inspiration for this fun attraction, that originally debuted at Disneyland in 1989, and can today be found in 3 of the 5 Magic Kindgoms around the globe. Which attraction is it, AND which classic film was the inspiration for it?

[ryley26]

How about Splash Mt and Song of the South

[stopher1]

Correct. A Zip-a-Dee River Run AAQ back to you ryley. (Can you imagine if they'd actually called Splash Mtn Zip-A-Dee River Run? That would have just been bad IMO...)

[ryley26]

Where in the WDW can you find a key under the mat

[conniehar90]

Muppets 3D.

[ryley26]

Connie Correct Your AAQ and your Up.

[Higgs22]

Wow...and I knew the key under the mat one too!!

[ksdave]

Wow...and I knew the key under the mat one too!!

Higgs!! Long time, no see. How are you doing? Guess the thread is a ghost of its former self. I've tried to get it jump started a few times, but it seems everyone is just too busy or not into it anymore.

How about an oldie-moldy question to keep the thread honest:

Name the dog from Peter Pan's Flight?

[ryley26]

Nana

[Higgs22]

Yeah Dave--I've been gone far too long....life is just crazy for me now---We just had our first child in February (a girl) so you can imagine that has kept me busy---I just figured I'd pop in for a visit....I'll try to stick around....


Let me see---I think I still remember how this works...

What proposed, but never built, Epcot pavilion was slated to host a film narrated by Alex Haley?

[ksdave]

Equatorial Africa.

Higgs, congrats on the girl. Parenthood really makes life interesting! I was away on business in Arkansas, otherwise I would have answered earlier.

How abut another question?

Where in Walt Disney World have you heard this phrase?: "The sliding doors on your time machine will close automatically."

[disneycruise05]

That would be Spaceship Earth!!!



Oy...it's been forever since I've been over here...

[ksdave]

That would be Spaceship Earth!!!



Oy...it's been forever since I've been over here...

Correct! A spaced out AAQ to you :rotfl:.

[disneycruise05]

Thanks Dave! In keeping up with the Epcot space theme...

At Mission: SPACE, there are two physical tributes towards Horizons. What are they?

[ksdave]

Thanks Dave! In keeping up with the Epcot space theme...

At Mission: SPACE, there are two physical tributes towards Horizons. What are they?

Ouch. Guess I cannot answer this one, as I have never been on Mission: SPACE. Shame too, as Horizons was my all-time favorite attraction.

[disneycruise05]

Ouch. Guess I cannot answer this one, as I have never been on Mission: SPACE. Shame too, as Horizons was my all-time favorite attraction.

Sad!!!! While M:S is not my absolute favorite attraction, it's grown on me. I guess it doesn't help that I work there...

Well...here's a hint for others: one is inside the queue, while the other is outside in front of the building.

[disneycruise05]

To keep things going, I'll add an extra hint:

The tribute inside in on the X1 Gravity Wheel. The one outside...well...I can't really say anything else without basically revealing it. Let's just say it's in front of the building.

[cabanafrau]

Page 5? Wow!

Finally learned a new tidbit I thought was worthy of becoming a question for the game. Of course, then I had to locate the thread and then do research to hopefully come up with an answer for the incomplete question hanging out there. Maybe I have it -- maybe not, we'll see.

Outside of the Mission Space Pavilion is a planter in the shape of the old Horizons building.

Right you are cabanafrau! Here's a SPACEy AAQ to you!

[cabanafrau]

Thanks disneycruise!

If you want to pay a visit to Irrawaddy Irma, where would you go?

[Hmbldr]

Jungle Cruise!?

[cabanafrau]

Absolutely Hmbldr! Your AAQ is cruising your way -- but be patient, it's coming via special route -- the backside of water!

[Hmbldr]

Many thanks cabanafrau!


When Disneyland's America Sings was scrapped after its patriotic run, where did some of the refurbished AA figures find a new home?

[Hmbldr]

OK, I guess a hint may be in order. America Sings replaced the Carousel of Progress for a few years during the Bicentennial. It was a musical tribute to America hosted by animal AA, actually I think they were all birds. Tiki predates this so that's not the answer.

[cabanafrau]

The AA's were used for Splash Mountain.

[Hmbldr]

Correct cabanafrau! Recycled feathers flying your AAQ to you.

[ksdave]

Darn! I missed the eighth anniversary of the thread. But, then again, it seems everyone else did too. Guess the time has come to put this one to bed........
So long, Parks Game Threads. You were great at one time. It was good knowing ya.

[outlander]

I can't sit here and watch this thread go down!:eek:

Let's get playing!!:banana:

A little refresher on the rules:

You may ask a question after correctly answering a question and being awarded an AAQ (Ask A Question) card.

Questions should be in bold to allow us to follow the game more easily.

Lurking is okay, but it’s a lot more fun to jump in and guess! There is no punishment for wrong answers here!!

Questions should be focused on the four WDW theme parks in order to maintain our place on this board. A continued thank you to the moderators for allowing this game to continue for more than 3 years




And, in keeping with Parks Game tradition, we can continue this thread with the question that started it all….


In what WDW attraction is there a dog named Nana? And what year did it open?

[ksdave]

OK, let's give it the old college try, one more time:

Peter Pan's Flight, which opened in 1971.


Here's my question:

In what attraction would Master Gracey reside?

[ryley26]

Haunted Mansion

[ksdave]

ryley, a spooky, dusty AAQ to you! Your question is next.

[ryley26]

Where can you find the key under the mat


Dave is your son playing a Mellophone.

[Hmbldr]

Muppet Movie 3D preshow area entrance

[ryley26]

Correct Hmbldr an AAQ to you.

[Hmbldr]

What is the name of the original Space Mountain sponsor mascot and what/where is he now? (Hope he survives the rehab. I'm sure the imagineers will do something creative.)

[ksdave]

Where can you find the key under the mat


Dave is your son playing a Mellophone.

Yes, he is a member of the Blue Stars, a DCI drum corps from La Crosse, WI. He is starting his fifth year with them in a couple of weeks.

Hmbldr;
Is it Nipper, the RCA dog? Last I saw him he was in the post-show queue.

[Hmbldr]

Hmbldr;
Is it Nipper, the RCA dog? Last I saw him he was in the post-show queue.

Yes, Nipper is the RCA Victor dog. Originally, in dog form at the beginning of the ride queue, then for FedEx as a robotic dog in post queue. Very good and an AAQ being shipped to you!

[ksdave]

Is it the Yeti at Expedition Everest?

[outlander]

I know they had some new issues with the Yeti, since it was so big....so, I think DisneyJen is on the right (broken!) track :)

[ksdave]

Is it the Yeti at Expedition Everest?

Correct, Jen. Yeti stands over 20' tall! A screeching, scratching AAQ to you.

[DisneyJen]

Thanks Dave!

An "E"xciting AAQ to you! Next question anyone?

[Hmbldr]

Thank you for the 'E'!

It's A Small World..... How many Dolls, how many countries represented and who was the original sponsor of the ride?

[plutospup]

The original sponsor at the '64 World's Fair was Pepsi, however, the first Disney Park sponsor was Bank of America.

WDW's IASM features 472 audioanimatronics including 289 dolls, 147 toys, and 36 props.

[Hmbldr]

....and 25 countries represented. Very well done plutospup. The Hawaiian Hula girl waves an AAQ to you!

[plutospup]

Where could you have found a Voyager Hot Dog, and Odyssey Burger?

[disneycruise05]

Where could you have found a Voyager Hot Dog, and Odyssey Burger?

Hoping that we can keep this going.

Hmmm...I was thinking Cosmic Ray's, but I'm thinking it was the Odyssey Restaurant in Epcot.

[plutospup]

A "Future World AAQ" to Disneycruise05! You're up.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all!:santa:

[disneycruise05]

Thanks! Hope everyone is starting off the new year well! Sorry for taking so long to get to this. I just got back from an extended work vacation at the World.
