On the bridge to Tomorrowland?????

If not that, then how about the transition form Fantasyland to Tomorrowland?

 

[jennylynn69]

Maybe between Liberty Square and Frontierland?

Winner!!! The area between the teacups, cosmic rays, and the Indy Speedway is (supposedly) the only area in MK that doesn't have background music piped in.

A silenced AAQ card to you Hmbldr!

So you're steaming down the Rivers of America in the Liberty Belle. How deep is the river?

hmm, 3 feet. Although I might be thinking of the Jungle Cruise.

 

[Hmbldr]

Sorry, no.

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

So you're steaming down the Rivers of America in the Liberty Belle. How deep is the river?

9 Feet.

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

Computer glitch!

 

[Hmbldr]

Remember, this is a Disney River, where reality/fantasy is the art of the show. Hear the slap of the paddle wheel, the calls of the boatsman....

"It moves through the NINE-foot deep

Rivers of America on an underwater rail." pg 120 of Birnbaum's Official Guide 2011

I believe that, according to the riverboat spiel, the river is Mark 4 deep.

 

[Hmbldr]

I believe that, according to the riverboat spiel, the river is Mark 4 deep.

"... half twain, mark one, mark twain, mark three, mark four" calls out the leadsman.

dzneynut you are all on board with your AAQ.


ps, a mark is a fathom, which is 6 feet, so the 'river' is 24 feet deep

 

[wdwtheplacetobe]

Oh....ok...you wanted the MAGIC answer, not the reality!

Sorry!

 

[Dacky619]

Oh....ok...you wanted the MAGIC answer, not the reality!

Sorry!

Yeah, I totally missed that as well. Good question though!

 

[dzneynut]

This may prove to be a little difficult, but that's what I like about Disney, the little details!

Where at the Animal Kingdom can you find an homage to Frank Wells?
(And, if you don't know who Frank Wells was, it's time you learned!)

 

[Dacky619]

Is it in the FOTLK show? I think the actual movie was dedicated to him (released the summer after he died)

 

[Hmbldr]

Frank Wells was an avid adventurist. Attempted to climb the tallest summits on each continent in his year off between Paramount and taking the job at Disney. 2 atempts to climb Everest. My guess is that there must be something to honor him at Expedition Everest, but I can't recall specifically. Am I close enough?

Sounds good to me! How about it dzneynut?

 

[dzneynut]

Well, it's a little more subtle!
There's a set of signs (there are a lot of signs in the Animal Kingdom!) along the walkway to Kali River Rapids and Expedition Everest.



Can you pick out the one honoring Frank Wells, and what is the significance of the name? This same name is on his window on Main Street, USA which, appropriately enough, is a third floor window!
