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

[AMANDASMOM]

Dreamfinder is correct Dave. An AAQ card to you!

Spectro - the apartment was above the Firehouse.

 

[amandadaddy]

While we're waiting for a response I'll toss out a touring question:

Where in WDW can you find a suit of armor?

List as many as you can and please be specific.

Good luck to all!

 

[SpectroMagic*o*]

I know u know this already, Dave, but you're correct, it was above the firehouse...good job!
ug:

 

[WedwayRocks]

I believe in the haunted mansion ride, in England pavilion @ Epcot, on Spaceship earth, those are the only ones I can come up with right now.

 

[amandadaddy]

That's three hits for Wedway Rocks!

Haunted Mansion
the Toy Soldier (England pavillion)
Space Ship Earth

I believe those are all correct......still more to come.

Keep sluggin' away.

 

[ksdave]

amandadaddy, I know there is at least one in the gift shop of Cinderella's Castle.

 

[amandadaddy]

You are correct Dave!

I can think of at least two more....

HM Wedway Rocks
Toy Soldier Wedway Rocks
SSE Wedway Rocks
Cindy's Gift Shop KS Dave

I'll had out the AAQ cards at the end of this one.

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

Pure guesses.....Pirates (in the treasure room) or the Great Movie Ride???

 

[WedwayRocks]

just curious, what are aaq cards?

 

[amandadaddy]

Did I say that I could think of two more?.....well make it three 'cause WDWthePlacetobe got one with PoC!

I'm tempted to agree with you about a suit of armor on the Great Movie Ride (possibly in an Errol Flyn clip or something...maybe even Monty Python), but I can't remember anything specific. If you can be more specific I'll include it and check it out on our next trip in Nov.

......I can still think of two more.......


Keep tourin' the parks,....you'll find 'em!





AAQ cards = Ask A Question card

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

wedway----when you get a correct answer....you are awarded an AAQ aka
"ask a question"...this means it's your turn to ask the next trivia question about the Parks....

Adaddy....can't think of anything specific in GMR---just thought there might be one....GOOD Question!!!!

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

adaddy---Is there a samarai suit of armor in Japan in Epcot????

Seems to me I have seen one there????

 

[Granny]

Let's see...is there a conquistador with armor in Mexico in EPCOT?

How about the lobby in ToT?

How about that statue of Eric in VOTLM? Wasn't he wearing armor?

Did someone say party?

 

[amandadaddy]

Good Morning folks! Y'all 've come up with some good ones that I hadn't thought of.

I believe WDWthePlacetoBe is correct about the Japan thing; the displays change from time to time of course, but I do remember seeing a Samarai suit of armor in the main shop close to where the swords are displayed.

Granny had some good ones too (good to see you Granny)! I'm pretty sure that Mexico and VOTLM are both correct, and ToT may be correct as well, I just can't remember seeing a suit of armor in there ( always to busy looking for hidden Mickeys and such ).

So here's the list thus far:

Haunted Mansion.....WedwayRocks
Toy Soldier.....WedwayRocks
Space Ship Earth.....WedwayRocks
PoC.....WDWthePlacetoBe
Cindy's gift shop.....KSDave
Mexico.....Granny
VotLM.....Granny
ToT.....Granny(?)
Japan.....WDWthePlacetoBe

........and I can still think of 2 more.......

 

[Granny]

Thanks for the kind words, ADaddy!

My ToT guess was just that, so I think you can strike it from your list unless someone else can confirm it. For some reason, I think I can picture it in the lobby, but I have no idea where it would be.

As for other places with armor...how about somewhere in UK at EPCOT. After all, that would seem to make the most logical sense! But I don't know where it would be, it's just a blind guess.

 

[ksdave]

And Granny returns just in time for the Fourth Anniversary celebration! Granny, you need to reiterate the story of how the PG Thread got started for all of the newer folks on here. You and Higgs do it better than anybody.

amandadaddy, is there a suit of armor shown during the Backlot Tour? How about during the Beauty and the Beast show?

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

Granny!!!!! My favorite Player....You were the first to make an impression on me when I started playing....

Adaddy----Could you revise your latest list???? I said PotC and Japan....tho wedway and wdwtptb BOTH start with W....Thanks!

 

[amandadaddy]

Granny - I agree, it seems like there would be multiple suits of armor in the UK pavillion, but the only one I can remember is at the Toy Soldier which WedwayRocks already gave us.

KSDave - I don't remember any armor in BatB or on the Backlot Tour ( hasn't that gone the way of Horizons now? ).

The two I'm thinking of are in plain sight and I'm sure we've all seen 'em. In fact, I have a picture of DD and I in front of one 'em. Let me know if hints are needed yet.

.....I agree with Dave Granny, it would be very nice to have you or Higgs say something about the origins of the mother of all threads! Where's WDWoldtimer, IASWrider, countless others who should be named? Let's start another chalk circle and round up some Dole Whips!

 

[Granny]

Let's see, is there a suit of armor next to the Love Shack??

I'm thinking of the middle ages and what could possibly fit into that theming. Of course, these are probably not having anything to do with theming...maybe something else?

Maybe a character in armor? Let's see...the prince in Sleeping Beauty might have had armor on when fighting the witch/dragon? So I'll guess One Man's Dream in case they have a depiction of that in there. Or maybe the mural on the wall of the castle? The one with Cinderella's step sisters?

(Glad to see this trusty old shotgun still fires!)

Thanks all, for the very kind welcome back. My time on the DIS board has been severely limited lately, and I must admit that I thought our game had gone away! The anniversary is what made me look for it again, and I am heartened to see so many friends still hanging out in our virtual parks.

*****************************

The story of the Parks Game is a simple one, and is retold in the very first post on this thread by Emperor Higgs.

Basically, six days after the horror and tragedy of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, a DIS board member named supamaki decided to start a little game on the DIS Boards Parks & Attractions board. His game was simple....ask a question about something in a park, and if you get it right you get to ask the next question. The game transported people mentally into the parks, and for a few brief moments helped us to escape the horror and fear generated in the days and months following the attacks on our nation.

The game had participation from a few people, and by the end of that year had grown with a regular group of players. By the middle of 2002, there was a fairly large group of core players, though new players were always welcome. During those days, it was not uncommon for a question to be asked, and answers come back within a minute or two! The play was fast and furious, and sometimes multiple questions were posed since the answer to an open question was going unconfirmed.

Along about that time, the invention of the AAQ card came about. This mystical award became the manner in which a person designated who was correct with their answer, and therefore could Ask A Question. Of course, the adjectives describing each card made each award special!

Every year, on the anniversary of the start of The Game, veteran and new players gather in the virtual Chalk Circle on Main Street USA to begin a celebration of the longest continuously running game on the DIS Boards. As with The Game itself, all are welcome into this group based on a mutual friendliness and appreciation of the genius that is Walt Disney World.

So come, one and all, and enjoy the 4th Anniversary of the beginnings of the Parks Game. And let this truly be, the “Happiest Celebration on Earth”.

Has anyone seen that Dole Whip Wench?

Granny;
Thanks for the great post. As for the Dole Whip Wench and many of the other players from the past......I believe they have all gone off to Infinity and beyond....or somewhere like that . Guess the "waters" are better over there.

amandadaddy;
As for the active question, can we get a hint about which park(s) the remaining suits are in? (not quite ready for "uncle" yet).
