I'll Second MickeyBabe! Bombardier!!!!

 

[ksdave]

Surprisingly, the answer is not Bombardier, even though they are known for their railcars in Europe. The company who made them had a facility pretty close to WDW.

Disney-Alweg Mark IV !

Disney-Alweg Mark IV !

No, not the answer I was looking for. I believe the nameplate for the aerospace company that made them was next to the doors at the back of each car. This company is actually now part of a larger company.

 

[plutospup]

Mark IV monorail cars were built by Martin-Marietta. Whew, that took some work researching! http://waltdatedworld.bravepages.com/id188.htm

 

[ksdave]

plutospup, you are correct. Martin Marietta was bought by Lockheed a few years ago, and is now the largest defense contractor in the world, Lockheed-Martin.
Next question???????

 

[plutospup]

Name the "B Ticket" attraction that featured "Gullywhumper", and "Bertha Mae".

 

[ksdave]

Hmmmmm, that was a while ago. Just a guess, was that the Mike Finch Keel Boats?

Was it that Pinocchio ride in Disney Land (not there anymore though)?

My Guesses are first, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and second, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Very curious to see the answer!

I'll second KS Dave....had to be the Keel Boats. ( wasn't that a "C" ticket? )

Good Morning All!

 

[MAGICX2]

Ok, I'm new to this and therefore this is probably an easy question for you vets but here goes.

How tall is TOT and what is the heights signifigance?

 

[ksdave]

ToT is 199' tall. If it was 200', FAA regulations would require a light on top.

Here's one that might be a little tougher:

What was the cost of an adult E-ticket when WDW opened?

 

[SpectroMagic*o*]

50 cents?
ug:

 

[plutospup]

Yes, ksdave, you are correct! It was the Mike Fink Keel Boats. According to www.waltdatedworld.bravepages.com it was a "B" ticket ride.

E-ticket...my guess 75 cents.

 

[amandadaddy]

Well, the original cost of admission was $1.00 for adults with reduced rates for children, clergy and servicemen in uniform ( free for kids 3 and under ) and ticket books were available at a discount from the individual prices at the rides,.....but that was at Disneyland in 1956....How about $.65 cents for an adult E ticket at WDW in 1971.

 

[ksdave]

Hmmmm....might have a problem with my E-ticket question. I was basing the question on a picture I have of an E-ticket. But I just noticed it was actually issued in Disneyland. Anyway, the price there was:
E Coupon- 85¢ Adults, 75¢ Children
Now, I also remember that they said that you could use Disneyland tickets at WDW, and visa-versa. Soooooooooooo;
How about SpectroMagic*o*, plutospup and amandadaddy all get an AAQ just for posting an answer!!

(psst: only three days until the fourth anniversary of the PG thread.)

 

[AMANDASMOM]

Thanks Dave!

I'll toss out an easy one -
