Parks Game...Part 12! I Can't Believe We're Still Playing!

[windi622]

You're absolutely right! :thumbsup2 That's quite the cathcy song, huh? :rolleyes1

Looks like you have a "Starlight" AAQ

[plutospup]

Woo Hoo...a starlight AAQ! Thanx!

...and now for our next question!
Where will you find a likeness of Margaret Hamilton?

[KPeveler]

in the Great movie ride, where you meet the wicked witch of the west?

[plutospup]

Correct! Margaret Hamilton played the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz which can be seen on the Great Movie Ride at MGM.

An " I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog too! ...AAQ" to KPeveler! Let's have the next question!

[KPeveler]

oh dear, I don't know if I can think of one fast enough. Quick! someone else with a AAQ go!

[plutospup]

Relax....Chill...Have a Whiparita and Disney trivia will flow!:lmao:

[outlander]

Did someone say 'whiparita'?:banana:

[plutospup]

Anyone have an old, dusty AAQ...or maybe a new shiny AAQ that they would like to use?:)

[MickeyBabe]

Old and dusty I have!!!!

Speaking of which....

What MK attraction intentionally spreads "new" dust regularly as part of it's theming?

popcorn::

[minijeanie]

first time on this thread so don't flame me...

just a guess folks.......Peterpan Ride?????


okay now to my question

on haunted mansion attraction what is the signifigance of going backwards on the ride?

[cabanafrau]

Old and dusty I have!!!!

Speaking of which....

What MK attraction intentionally spreads "new" dust regularly as part of it's theming?

popcorn::

Ooh, that would be the Haunted Mansion -- sure hope they're careful w/ the refurb -- can you imagine if they remove the wrong dust!!! :lmao:

Gives a whole new meaning to "Please pardon our dust while we work to make a better attraction for you." ;)

[MickeyBabe]

minijeanie... no flames here, just a little guidance.

Here on the Parks Game we ask questions only after answering one correct. We also try to keep the game to one open question at a time to avoid confusion.

All of the Parks Game Guidelines (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=654898) can be found on the first page of the thread.


Ooh, that would be the Haunted Mansion -- sure hope they're careful w/ the refurb -- can you imagine if they remove the wrong dust!!! :lmao:



Gives a whole new meaning to "Please pardon our dust while we work to make a better attraction for you." ;)

cabanafrau, you are of course, correct!

Funny, in May I told a young friend that Disney was going to refurbish the attraction and when he asked what they were going to do (after witnessing what has been done to PotC) I told him they were going to clean out all of the old dust and then make it dirty again! :rotfl:


One very dusty AAQ card to you cabanafrau.... You're up!

[mickeyman01]

so you dont see whats up ahead.


yay three days till fifth disney stay and first time at BCV.



wHAT ORDER WAS THE ROCKN ROLLER COASTER BUILT?

[mickeyman01]

first time on this thread so don't flame me...

wHAT ORDER WAS THE ROCKN ROLLER COASTER BUILT?

[ryley26]

The coaster was built first and the building constructed around it.

[plutospup]

So if Ryley is correct... then the coaster was built first, cue second, preshow (recording studio) third, and outside cue last!

[Mickey_Maniac]

Bump

[plutospup]

I'm off to do research for the Parks Game! Shades of Green, and Tony's Town Square here we come!:banana:

[disneycruise05]

I'm off to do research for the Parks Game! Shades of Green, and Tony's Town Square here we come!:banana:

Hope you're having a great time at WDW! I was at the SoG when I was at WDW in March and I must say it's pretty nice. Wish it had a better bus service, however. Anywho...have a great trip! Bring back some great questions!

Anybody have an AAQ to use?

Also, just to add (I haven't really been around lately so I've missed alot...), when you go backwards in the HM when you get to the graveyard, it is symbolizing your death. When you face forward again, you have entered the Spirit World yourself as a happy haunt.

[Mickey_Maniac]

OK, since no one has used up an overdue AAQ, I'll go ahead and throw an easy one out there to revive the thread... (where is everyone? At WDW?)

Name at least 3 of the trains on Big Thunder Mountain

[disneycruise05]

OK, I'll name 3...I.M. Fearless, U.B. Bold, and U.R. Courageous.

[Mickey_Maniac]

disneycruise05 is right on track.:moped: For the record, the other three trains are named I.M. Brave, I.B. Hearty, and U.R. Daring.

A "Wildest Ride in the Wilderness" AAQ to you!!

[disneycruise05]

The chickens at The Barnstormer once inhabitated what other attraction?

[Mickey_Maniac]

The Country Bear Jamboree?

[disneycruise05]

Nope...here's a hint: it's an extinct attraction.

[KPeveler]

mr toad's wild ride?

[Mickey_Maniac]

OK, was it either "If You Had Wings" or it's successor "DreamFlight"? Or were they the other way around, can't remember right now...

[disneycruise05]

Nope to both guesses...(also, I believe you're right Mickey_Maniac, it was "If You Have Wings" followed by "DreamFlight.") Another hint.....the attraction was at Epcot.

[dzneynut]

World of Motion

[Mickey_Maniac]

Yup, World of Motion was going to be my next guess.

[disneycruise05]

Right y'all are! An automotive AAQ to James and Mickey_Maniac!

[Mickey_Maniac]

No, no, dznenut got it right first, the AAQ is all yours...

[dzneynut]

Which was the first attraction to open after opening day of the Magic Kingdom in Oct., 1971?

[Mickey_Maniac]

I dont know, but I'll guess Space Mountain?

[disneyfanUSA]

Flight to the Moon?? Opened Christmas Eve, 1971

[dzneynut]

Space Mountain opened in Jan., 1975.
We're talking about an Oct. 2, 1971 opening!
HINT: A D-ticket attraction, it apppears to be in two different 'lands.'

[disneycruise05]

Hmmm...the only attraction that I can think of that appears to be in 2 lands would be the Liberty Square Riverboat (docking in Liberty Square and passing through Frontierland). However, I don't think it was a D-Ticket attraction. Maybe the Mad Tea Party? It kinda sits right on the edge of Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.

[ScottOKW2K]

Admiral Joe Fowler Riverboat

Named after the retired navy admiral who was in charge of construction for Disneyland and Walt Disney World, this riverboat didn't travel the Rivers of America on opening day in 1971. It premiered a day later on October 2. It used to require a D ticket.

[dzneynut]

Right you are, William and Scott,
The Liberty Square Riverboat was the first attraction to open after the official opening day of the Magic Kingdom.
Paddlewheel AAQs to both of you!

[disneycruise05]

Thanks! Here's a softball to keep things rolling:

What is the name of Sam Eagle's finale in MuppetVision 3D?

[B'rer Karen]

A Salute to All Nations...but mostly America.

I love Sam Eagle!!!

I'm headed out on vacation so someone else can take my AAQ, assuming I'm correct.

[disneyfanUSA]

A Salute to All Nations...but mostly America.

I love Sam Eagle!!!

I'm headed out on vacation so someone else can take my AAQ, assuming I'm correct.

Ok i have one!

What is the name of the boat perched atop Mt. Mayday???

[disneycruise05]

A Salute to All Nations...but mostly America.

I love Sam Eagle!!!

I'm headed out on vacation so someone else can take my AAQ, assuming I'm correct.

Right you are B'rer Karen! A patriotic AAQ to you! Seeing as disneyfanUSA, why don't you go ahead and keep this one in your back pocket for future use? Have a great vacation!

[disneycruise05]

Welcome disneyfanUSA! Here are the ground rules for all of the newcomers. Welcome everyone! Don't be a lurker, be a poster!

There are only a few 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.

[disneyfanUSA]

Is asking one about typhoon lagoon not ok?? I thought it still would fit under the Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies? :goodvibes

[plutospup]

I believe you are referring to "Miss Tilly", high above Typhoon Lagoon! It was great seeing her two weeks ago!

[disneyfanUSA]

I believe you are referring to "Miss Tilly", high above Typhoon Lagoon! It was great seeing her two weeks ago!

Yupp you get the AAQ!

[plutospup]

In the context of the 4 main theme parks...;)

Where will you find the "Wicked Wench"?

[dzneynut]

That would be the pirate ship in the Pirates of the Caribbean!

[plutospup]

Correct! The Wicked Wench can be found at Pirates of the Caribbean.

Arrrrrgh! A "Shiver Me Timbers AAQ" to Dzneynut!

[dzneynut]

What was the name of the storm that 'created' Typhoon Lagoon?

[disneyfanUSA]

What was the name of the storm that 'created' Typhoon Lagoon?

I don’t know the answer and can't find it anywhere soo I’m bumping!!!

[Mickey_Maniac]

I dont think it had a name...

[plutospup]

A furious storm once roared 'cross the sea catching ships in its path, helpless to flee . . . Instead of a certain and watery doom The winds swept them here to TYPHOON LAGOON.

[dzneynut]

I dont think it had a name...
If there's one thing we've learned about WDW (and Disney, for that matter!), is that everything has a name!
Here's the answer:
Hurricane Connie is the storm that turned the "Placid Palms Resort" into Typhoon Lagoon. It is also the same fictional storm that destroyed much of Pleasure Island. You can find debris, such as boxes from the Fireworks Factory, which used to be a restaurant at Pleasure Island, over at Typhoon Lagoon.

[plutospup]

Well, I guess I learned something new!

Dzneynut...give yourself a "Hurricane AAQ", and lets have another question!:banana:

Thats cool. I'd love to know how you found this out. I searched everywhere I (and Google) could think of and found nothing...

[dzneynut]

Thats cool. I'd love to know how you found this out. I searched everywhere I (and Google) could think of and found nothing...The answer(s) lie in my email address!
Let's try another similar opening question:
What was the second new attraction to open at the Magic Kingdom, after the Grand Opening in 1971?

[plutospup]

Was it the Enchanted Tiki Room? I just can't get that tune out of my head:lmao:

[gometros]

The answer(s) lie in my email address![/B]

James - I must have been sleeping. When did you change your screen name?

[dzneynut]

Was it the Enchanted Tiki Room? I just can't get that tune out of my head:lmao:Nope, Tropical Serenade, as it was known originally, opened on Oct. 1, 1971. The attraction I'm thinking of opened on Oct. 3, 1971, and still has the same name today.
Sandy, I changed my screename back in Jan. so they'd be the same across the boards!

[futreWDI]

Jungle Cruise?

[plutospup]

Was it...Pirates of the Caribbean?

Oh no, now I have the POC tune bouncing around with the "Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room"...Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Tiki Room for Me (maybe a padded Tiki Room!)

[disneycruise05]

Hmmmm....I don't think it was PotC. When WDW opened, people complained that it wasn't there, so they had to hurry up and build it. If I remember correctly, the imagineers thought that people wouldn't be interested in a ride that is based in the Caribbean since it is so close. It was much more of a fantasy in California. Anywho....my guess is for the Swiss Family Treehouse. I thought it was open on the first, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time!

However, the idea of "...a Tiki Room for me..." does crack me up! :lmao:

[dzneynut]

Nope, Jungle Cruise and Swiss Family Treehouse were two of the first three Adventureland attractions.
Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't even planned for Walt Disney World, but they changed their mind, and it opened in Dec. 1973, exactly seven years after the passing of Walt Disney.

HINT: Fantasyland

[Tinks_gang]

Hello all, I haven't stopped by in months. I think I know this one though....

It's Peter Pan's Flight!

[dzneynut]

You would expect Tink to know this one, right?
Yes, it was Peter Pan's Flight!
Take it away to Neverland, Tinks_gang!

[Tinks_gang]

You would expect Tink to know this one, right?
Yes, it was Peter Pan's Flight!
Take it away to Neverland, Tinks_gang!

Better not call myself Tink if I didn't know that one...;)

Okay, here goes it.

What attraction, which premiered in Disneyland and was an original ride at the opening of Walt Disney World, was Walt Disney rumored never to have rode? And do you know why this rumor exists?

[disneycruise05]

Oh! I remember this. It was Dumbo, wasn't it? It's rumored that he never rode it because he was a Republican. And since Dumbo, being an elephant, was a symbol of the Democratic party, he never wanted to be seen "supporting" the party.

[Tinks_gang]

Oh! I remember this. It was Dumbo, wasn't it? It's rumored that he never rode it because he was a Republican. And since Dumbo, being an elephant, was a symbol of the Democratic party, he never wanted to be seen "supporting" the party.


Right you are! :thumbsup2 A high flying AAQ to you~

[KPeveler]

an elephant is the symbol of the Republican party. a donkey is the symbol of the democrats. i think you have the story backwards

[Tinks_gang]

an elephant is the symbol of the Republican party. a donkey is the symbol of the democrats. i think you have the story backwards

I hadn't even noticed this...:rolleyes1 But right idea!

[disneycruise05]

Oh my gosh...I didn't even notice that! Oops! Thanks for the correction!

How many torches surround the World Showcase lagoon, and what do they symbolize?

[princesskelz]

i think there are 11 and they symbolize each Nation?? but i could be wrong

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

We have counted.... I'm pretty sure it's 19, but have no idea why

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Okay.. my dad informed me that they represent 100 years so the 19 around the lagoon equal 1900 and there is now actually 20 of them including the big one in the middle representing the millenium.

[disneycruise05]

Okay.. my dad informed me that they represent 100 years so the 19 around the lagoon equal 1900 and there is now actually 20 of them including the big one in the middle representing the millenium.

Right you are Kimmy! The 19 torches surrounding the World Showcase each symbolize a century, so the first 1,900 years of the modern calendar. The globe in the middle of the World Showcase lagoon, the 20th torch, symbolizes the millenium. A historical AAQ to you, Kimmy!

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Yeah I got it right!! :banana:
I don't have a question right now, so if someone would like to jump in FEEL FREE!

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Okay No one jumped in so here is an easy one

What was the Original name of Downtown Disney Marketplace and when did it originally open?

[disneyfanUSA]

The original name was Lake Buena Vista Village and it opened on March 22, 1975.

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

The original name was Lake Buena Vista Village and it opened on March 22, 1975.

Melody - Ariel's daughter in the "Little Mermaid II Return to the Sea"

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Is it Jack Skellington and Jack Sparrow?

[dzneynut]

There's Max: Prince Eric's dog and Goofy's son.
There's Chip: of Chip 'n Dale and the small cup in Beauty & the Beast.
Dinah: a dachshund in early Pluto cartoons, and Alice's kitten in Alice in Wonderland.
Duchess: mother cat in The Aristocats, and one of the cows in 101 Dalmatians.
Lucifer in Pluto's Kid Brother, and the evil cat in Cinderella.

That's just the first shot; I know there's more than that out there!
Better get this Park's thread back on track, before we get a visit from the dreaded black hearse! :eek:

I'm not familiar with a hearse in the vicinity of the CC here, but I have been apprehended by the PGP and taken away on the Black Monorail. :scared:

All that aside, we keep the questions here Parks related at the request of the gracious moderators here to keep us on the Theme Parks Boards.:woohoo:

For General Disney Trivia, you can always go to Disney Trivia... Lets Play! (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=351353)


To keep us on track here I'll dust off one of my dusty old AAQ cards and ask....

How many mountains make up Walt Disney Wold's mountain range?
(Bonus: Name them.)

:3dglasses

[debbiedoo]

three

Space Mountain
Thunder Mountain
Splash Mountain

[dzneynut]

Thanks for keeping us straight, MBabe!
As far as the mountains go, there's many more!

Splash Mountain (Chickapin Hill)
Space Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Fantasmic Mountain
Mount Mayday (Typhoon Lagoon)
Mount Gushmore (Blizzard Beach)
Forbidden Mountain (Expedition Everest)

Looks like seven!

[dzneynut]

Well MBabe, what's the verdict?

[disneycruise05]

Bumping us back up to the top.

[MickeyBabe]

Well MBabe, what's the verdict?

Once again, James, you have gone above and beyond the call of duty! (I was only thinking of the 4 major parks):teacher:


One mountainous AAQ card to James!

Take it away James....

[dzneynut]

What are the names of the two tiny towns located on WDW property?

[disneycruise05]

Hmmm....Reedy Creek is one. Are we counting Celebration? It used to be part of the WDW property. So...I'm saying Reedy Creek and Celebration.

[plutospup]

I'm thinking Lake Buena Vista, and Bay Lake.

Didn't people live on Riles Island at one time?

[disneycruise05]

Oops....revising my answer. I think it's Reek Creek and Bay Lake.

[dzneynut]

And Pluto's Pup nails it with both answers, Bay Lake & Lake Buena Vista!
Good try, William!
Pluto's Pup, you're up.

[plutospup]

The Swiss Family Robinson treehouse features the wheel of their doomed ship. Name that ship!

[ryley26]

Is It the Swallow

[plutospup]

A "Shipwrecked Swallow AAQ" to Ryley!

[ryley26]

What is the name of the Chinese resturant in COP

[KPeveler]

what's COP? The only thing I can think of is Carousel of Progress, and I just finished listening to the audio of the entire ride.... no chinese in there i think

[ryley26]

There is a restuarant who's name appears in the window in one of the scenes.

[dzneynut]

Kohn's Chinese Restaurant; you can see it through the window in the second scene.

[ryley26]

Dzneynut is correct a no MSG AAQ for you.

[outlander]

:cheer2:

[dzneynut]

What is the name of the courtyard in front of Mission: Space?

[ryley26]

How about planetary plaza

[outlander]

How about planetary plaza
If that's not it, they should think about renaming!:thumbsup2

[Mickey_Maniac]

How did we end up back on page 5?

Bumping...

By the way, I have no clue on the answer :confused3

[wdwtheplacetobe]

What is the name of the courtyard in front of Mission: Space?

The Final Frontier???

;) ;) ;)

[plutospup]

I agree with Ryley...it's Planetary Plaza.

[dzneynut]

Right you are Ryley26, with an assist from Pluto's Pup!
An 'out of this world' AAQ to both of you!

[ryley26]

What aircraft carrier do you fly over in Soarin

[Mickey_Maniac]

The Enterprise?

[plutospup]

USS Reagan CVN-76?

The Stennis, I believe John C. Stennis is the full name.

[ryley26]

Frau is right a floting AAQ to you

Where in the world would you go if you were in the mood to watch a stampede?

Thanks & a salute to ryley26 & plutospup. (DH's cousin proudly serves on the Stennis, so that was actually an easy one for me.)

There's one in the movie "the Circle of Life" in The Land pavilion in Epcot.

:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1

Wow, should have known better than to hastily throw out a question to the experts -- I've rounded up an AAQ for wdwtheplacetobe catching one I forgot about. I only remembered the one in O Canada in WS.

Where will you find Minnies Magnificent Butterfly Garden, and A "Lift and Sniff" Fragrance Garden ?

[ryley26]

EPCOT flower and garden festival

[ryley26]

What four holidays are celebrated in carousel of progress

[ksdave]

What four holidays are celebrated in carousel of progress

Valentine's Day
4th of July
Halloween
Christmas

Here's an old AAQ I had laying around from Part I (this may be a bit tough):

During the "World of Motion" ride, there are three "losers" in the contest to design the Egyptian king a wheel. What shape of wheels did they suggest?

[plutospup]

Square, Triangle, and Oval ?

[ryley26]

A great big beautiful AAQ to you Ksdave

[ksdave]

Square, Triangle, and Oval ?

Two out of three correct. For the last one, think military ;) .

[outlander]

Is the last shape a chevron?
Lol...is 'chevron' a shape?

How about a diamond?

[disneycruise05]

It's a square, triangle, and pentagon! I was looking through YouTube and found the old show with Danny Kaye taking a tour through EPCOT Center with Drew Barrymore and they were going through the "World of Motion."

[ksdave]

It's a square, triangle, and pentagon! I was looking through YouTube and found the old show with Danny Kaye taking a tour through EPCOT Center with Drew Barrymore and they were going through the "World of Motion."

Yes!!! A rolling AAQ to you!!

[dzneynut]

I'll dust off an old AAQ and ask a question direct from WDW!
Where exactly at the World can you find the phrase, "Confections Served with Affection"?

[Mickey_Maniac]

This is probably too obvious, but would that be either at the Main St Bakery or at the Main St Confectioners (the Candy store on the corner?)

[plutospup]

Seashore Sweets at the Boardwalk

[Mickey_Maniac]

Oooh, I think Plutospup is right.

I guess I should have known that, huh???
(look at my sig, duh!)

[ksdave]

I'll dust off an old AAQ to keep us moving:

What is the full name of the venue where Fantasmic is performed?

[plutospup]

Is it the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater?

[ksdave]

Is it the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater?

A starry-eyed AAQ to you!!

[plutospup]

Where will you find a poster promoting "Web Side Story"?

[dzneynut]

Right you are, Pluto's Pup, it is Seashore Sweets!
A sweet tooth AAQ to you.

[Mickey_Maniac]

Where will you find a poster promoting "Web Side Story"?

Would that be in Its Tough to be a Bug at AK?

[plutospup]

Along with a "Stinkbug Named Desire", you'll find a poster for "Web Side Story" in the preshow area of "It's Tough to be a Bug".

A "Creepy Crawly AAQ" to Mickey Maniac!

[Mickey_Maniac]

Where can you find the largest "hidden" Mickey on WDW property?

[dzneynut]

The central plaza area of Disney-MGM Studios (at least it used to be!)

[Mickey_Maniac]

That used to be it, but since they put up the hat and painted some of the roofs, it is no longer visible.

What would the currently visible one be?

[plutospup]

Is it the "Earful Tower" at MGM?

[Mickey_Maniac]

Good guess, but no.

Here's a hint. It's not in one of the four major parks.

Ok, Ok, I know the game is for the four parks, but what the heck...

[KPeveler]

isnt it in the middle of the richard petty driving experience? you can see it on aerial shots

[Mickey_Maniac]

isnt it in the middle of the richard petty driving experience? you can see it on aerial shots

Yes it is. A fast but wet AAQ to KPeveler...

[ksdave]

Just a reminder that the Parks Game thread will be celebrating its sixth birthday next Monday, 9/17. It would be great to see us stay on page 1 for the big day. Hope you can all be around to keep us going!!

And now for a softball question:

How many stones did it take to build Cinderella's Castle?

[plutospup]

Hmmm....Would that be granite?...marble?...or fiberglass!

Zero stones were used to build Cinderella castle!

[ksdave]

Hmmm....Would that be granite?...marble?...or fiberglass!

Zero stones were used to build Cinderella castle!

Another AAQ to you!!

Hope we can attract a bigger crowd for the anniversary next Monday :magnify:.

Thanks ksdave!

Where could you have heard the following song?

"Proper foods each time you dine,
Can keep you fit and feelin' fine.
Eating right's a healthy sign,
And feelin' good makes each day shine and shine."


Let's keep the Parks Game on the first page, and let everyone know about our Monday celebration! ...did I hear the blender mixing up a batch of 'whiparitas'?

[Mickey_Maniac]

I'll guess the now extinct Kitchen Kabaret.

[plutospup]

A "Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit AAQ" to Mickey Maniac!:banana:

[Mickey_Maniac]

OK, Here goes...

On RocknRoller Coaster, whats the name of the place you are going in the limo?

[amyhughes]

L.A. Forum

[Mickey_Maniac]

A high speed AAQ goes to amyhughes

[amyhughes]

Also on Rockin' Rollercoaster:

How quickly does your Super Stretch accelerate to 60 mph? For bonus how many feet forward does this propel you (almost) instantly?

[N10CJT]

Unbelievably, I think I actually know this one. I saw something about this on television a while back and was struck by the figures of acceleration, and I think I remember it as 2.8 seconds. I don't think it's precisely 60 MPH, I thought it was something like 56 or 57, but I could be remembering that wrong. I also remember the G forces it turns on the inversion, 4 1/2! More than a shuttle launch!
I can not wait to ride it (this November!)....
As for the distance, I have NO idea.

[amyhughes]

That is right!! Good memory!

On the distance it is 200 feet!

[N10CJT]

Ha ha what a batting average, now I'm 1 for about 12,428.....
Given this, here's one most of you probably know.....
What does the "E" in Roy E. Disney stand for?

[N10CJT]

Ooops, brain cramp, the parks dummy. Sorry everyone! Fortunately I do have another parks-related question. Again, one I'm sure everyone knows.....
Why does the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad generally go faster as the day goes along?

[disneycruise05]

Becasue the grease on the tracks gets heated up through the day becase of the sun, causing the tracks to be slicker, causing the trains to move (ever so slightly) faster.

[N10CJT]

Quite right, see I knew it would be easy for someone!
To you, I award a well won AAQ card, hopefully you have a tougher question than mine!

[disneycruise05]

Y'all want hard? Well...how about just obscure? I can do obscure.

I don't know about y'all, but my all time favorite parade at Disney is the Main Street Electrical Parade. The WDW version was shown only once outside of the parks at a Bowl game. What football bowl game was it and in what year?

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

It was the Orange Bowl in 1978
It was my favorite too!

[outlander]

Wow, I didn't know that! Cool! I'll be interested in the answer. Hopefully you have some backstory you can fill in too!:teacher:

[disneycruise05]

Right you are, Kimmy! The MSEP was the halftime show for the '78 Orange Bowl in Miami. Arkansas beat Oklahoma 31 to 6. I "proudly present our spectacular pagaent of nighttime magic and imagination" AAQ to you!

I'm not really sre about the back history about why the Big 8 chose to have the MSEP as their halftime show. Maybe they were hyping up for the creation of EPCOT Center? Wait....scratch that. I just checked on that and the Orange Bowl was January 2nd of '78 and Disney didn't announce until October 1st of that year the plans of building EPCOT Center. Hmmm....we shall investigate this mystery.

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Yeah! Okay since you asked about my favorite parade, lets have one related to my favorite Resort

How many "official" Hidden Mickeys are located in the Wilderness Lodge Resort?

[outlander]

Thanks for checking on that!:thumbsup2 Hopefully you can find some more info on it to share with us.:banana:

[Mickey_Maniac]

No clue, but I'm sure in a resort like that, there must be quite a few, so I'll guess 75?

[plutospup]

Hmmm...Hidden Mickeys at WL? I'll guess 142!

Re: MSEP...The Orange Bowl has been an evening game for many years, therefore being "prime time" TV. For many years Disney provided a halftime show. The Orange Bowl lights would be lowered, and the lights from the MSEP, or other similar floats would provide a great show. Of course, at the same time (with a huge tv audience) it provided a great marketing opportunity for WDW!

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Much lower

[DisneyJen]

An oldtimer here just checking out the chalk circle, stopping in for a Dole Whiparita or two ...

And how about 71:earboy2:

Jen;
Great to "see" you back in the CC. Hang out here Monday for the big sixth anniversary party!!

I'll guess 8 official Hidden Mickey's.

[Mickey_Maniac]

OK, I'll revise my guess down to 26

Thanks Dave... good to see a familiar "face":rotfl: Wouldn't miss the anniversary.

[dzneynut]

14 Hidden Mickeys

And how about 71:earboy2:

Stll Less...

[N10CJT]

Is it a trick question? I thought I saw somewhere that there were no "official" Mickeys, that no one can actually say how many there are.... so would the answer be zero?

[amyhughes]

That's what I was thinking. The IMagineers just add them willy nilly without recording them...

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

No, it is not a trick. When we checked in to the resort, last time, I found one and the CM gave me an "official" list of how many of them there were. This of course does not include the ones in the bed spreads...

[plutospup]

Ok, I'll take another stab at this...how about 1 hidden mickey - aerial view of WL (Lobby=Mickey's face, and Wings represent his ears) .

Alright, maybe I've had one too many whiparitas...probably not...just maybe!

[gometros]

I may not get to post tomorrow, since we share the same anniversary and DW and I are going to see a show, so I will take this opportunity to say

Happy Anniversary to the Chalk Circle!

[ryley26]

How about 7 Mickey's

[outlander]

I wonder if my 'unofficial' guide to hidden mickey's would help here?:idea:
Heck, I'll go with lucky number 4
Though, that doesn't really sound like a good 'official' number now that I see it there.:confused3

[disneycruise05]

Hmmm...well my lucky nember is 26, but since that's already been guessed, I'll use the "Price is Right" method....is it $1? Oops, wrong method. :rolleyes: I'll guess 27.

[disneycruise05]

Forgot to add:

A VERY MERRY 6TH UN-BIRTHDAY TO Y'ALL!!!!
:banana: :cool1: :wizard: :cheer2: :dance3: :yay: :woohoo:
:bday:

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

I did not mean to stump anyone this much... I thought someone would know this right off the bat. I have stayed at WL a couple of times and both times, the CM discussed it with me, without me asking.

The number is in between 7 and 14. The is the narrow gap in between guesses..

[plutospup]

Ok, between 7 & 14...I'll start off by saying 8! Who's going to say 9? Do I hear a 9?


!!!HAPPY ANNIVERSAY PARKS GAME!!!

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

lol.... higher higher

[outlander]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!
:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
Here's to many more!:wizard:

[outlander]

I'll take my lucky number 4 and merge it with 'higher, higher!' and guess.....
14

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

I'll take my lucky number 4 and merge it with 'higher, higher!' and guess.....
14

BIG HINT... 2 less!
LOL, I think we are all ready to move on. I am going to guess you can subtract so I'm going to hand over a AAQ prematurely and beg you to move us on.

[outlander]

BIG HINT... 2 less!
LOL, I think we are all ready to move on. I am going to guess you can subtract so I'm going to hand over a AAQ prematurely and beg you to move us on.Lol! I really do wonder if that number is listed in the unofficial guide? When (IF) I find the book I want to look it up. Just curious to know if we could have found the answer eariler.:confused3

[outlander]

On Star Tours there is a red tag attached to your pilot. What does it say?

[cabanafrau]

Happy Anniversary and a big thank you to all here who teach me so much & let me have so much fun!

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

I do have the guide at home, never bothered to open it though. I will check tonight. Where I received my info was from the resort itself. I also looked around a bit online to see if I can find an answer and Wikipedia does have it listed in their little blub about the resort. Everything else is very vauge.

[DisneyJen]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE P.G. THREAD!!!

Just to make it official, here is the story of the thread:

This continues the long-running DIS board trivia game about the WDW theme parks. This thread was begun on September 17, 2001 by supamaki in the days after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and was a source of escapism and a safe haven in the days following that great tragedy. Since that time, this thread has stayed on this board through it’s eleven previous versions with hundreds of players partaking in the fun of asking and answering questions related to WDW theme park trivia.

There are only a few 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 will start the seventh year of 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?

[Mickey_Maniac]

Where do you hear the phrase "you will disappear, disappear..."

[amyhughes]

Norway's Maelstrom Attraction.

Just before you go backwards!

[Mickey_Maniac]

A three headed AAQ to amy.

And just for getting the answer right, the next round of Whiparitas is on you!!!

[amyhughes]

No problem!:goodvibes A dolewhip sounds wonderful and always makes me think of the Tiki Room which leads me to my next question:

When the Tiki Room Under New Management Openned a famous Broadway Actor now voiced Pierre (that rascal), what was his name?

[N10CJT]

I know a lot of Broadway fans, and so I know this one! Jerry Orbach.

[amyhughes]

We mus be on the same wave length, this is two in a row you have answered that were mine! And you get an AAQ! Yes Jerry Orbach, the voice of Lumiere, Broadway and Law and Order star, and now immortalized in the Tiki Room!:thumbsup2

He was a cool cat!

[N10CJT]

Ha ha I cheated off your paper in high school.....

What is the major difference between the Stretching Rooms in the Haunted Mansions in Disney World and Disneyland?

[disneycruise05]

Disneyland's Stretching Room is an elevator dropping you down below ground level, while WDW's floor stays still and the ceiling rises.

[N10CJT]

You got it. An elongated AAQ to you.

[disneycruise05]

Thanks!

What is the name of the paddlewheel boat in the final scene of Splash Mountain?

[Mickey_Maniac]

That would be the Zip-A-Dee Lady

[disneycruise05]

Right you are, Mickey_Maniac! One Laughing Place AAQ for you!

[Mickey_Maniac]

What song do you hear on the Tower of Terror (besides the Twilight zone theme)?

[Baloos Buddy]

What song do you hear on the Tower of Terror (besides the Twilight zone theme)?


Not sure, but I know the little girl is singing the "Its raining, Its pouring...

BTW, this is my first post. Love this!

[plutospup]

Baloos Buddy, welcome to the Parks Game!:banana:

[Mickey_Maniac]

Wow, I'm impressed. Not only did you join the world famous Parks Game with your first post, you also got the answer right!!!

A falling out of control AAQ to Baloos Buddy.

[outlander]

Welcome Baloos Buddy!:wave2:

[Baloos Buddy]

Ok, here I go, Gonna try this. Forgive me if it is old, but I hate to say, it has been a few years since I have been to the parks... :eek:

Where can you find a sea serpent out of the water?

[N10CJT]

Are you referring to the Electric Water Pageant on the Seven Seas Lagoon?

[Baloos Buddy]

Nope, not on the water... but he is NEAR some...

[amyhughes]

Downtown Disney Lego Serpent!

[Baloos Buddy]

Good guess, not the one I was thinking of... Isn't his base in the water? I'll give one hint here if someone wants it.

[plutospup]

Gertie's Ice Cream of Extinction at MGM?

[Baloos Buddy]

No, sorry, she's in the water..

[amyhughes]

Only thing I can think of other than those is St. George and the Dragon in Germany. Though technically a Dragon isn't a sea serpent is it?

[plutospup]

Wait a second...How about Ursula, the sea witch at Fantasmic! I believe she appears on the mountain. She also appears in VOTLM on stage, but technically she's "under the sea".

[disneycruise05]

Wasn't there a sea serpent topiary in the Magic Kingdom at one point? I'm thinking it was down by the Rose Garden on the right side of the Castle near Tomorrowland.

BTW: :welcome: Baloos Buddy!!!

[Baloos Buddy]

BINGO! We have a winner! WTG disneycruise. That was the one I was thinking of. A big green growing AAQ to you!

[disneycruise05]

Thanks Baloos Buddy!

At what attraction in the World can you hear "it's a small world" (besides at the actual attraction in the MK)?

[ksdave]

Thanks Baloos Buddy!

At what attraction in the World can you hear "it's a small world" (besides at the actual attraction in the MK)?

Wild guess here: Is it Caroussel of Progress?

[plutospup]

Stitch's Great Escape
