Parks Game! Part 4: Let's Play Some More!!

[Granny]

mlcar....very happy that you caught that question in your ESTEEMED honor! I have to tell you, it's not easy to find a tutu reference in these questions!

And sorry mlcar, but I'm not too good at that curtsy thing...how about a groveling bow kind of thing?


and Sandy gets the AAQ with the answer of Timekeeper as the source of the tutu remark! Nicely done!


Who's got a question?

 

[mlcar]

what is the only major ride that is in all Disney themeparks? Hint: it is in different lands in some of the parks

 

[btuftee]

Is it the Haunted Mansion? I'm sure that WDW, Disneyland, Paris, and Tokyo have one... though it's called "Phantom Manor" in Paris, it's the same concept.

 

[mlcar]

Haunted Mansion is right - you're up!

 

[gometros]

Boy, it's been a while since I got to ask a question, so ponder this until I check back in the morning:

Where the name Spaceship Earth come from?

 

[polk]

Glad to find the 4th incarnation thread ...

gometros >>> Where the name Spaceship Earth come from?

I'll take a wild guess that it came from HG Wells.

I overheard a little boy ask someone whether they had ridden "the golf ball ride" on the WDW bus last week.

 

[Granny]

Space Ship Earth? Are we looking for who coined the term, or what the term came from?

And MBabe....can I bring you a Whiparita with lots of cherries?? (just the way you like it)

 

[DisneyJen]

Welcome back Polk

Mlcar we did get rid of your favorite cake question ... and I even saved you a piece of grapefruit cake from the Brown Derby

Sandy did SE's name come from 20 Thousand Leagues under the Sea? Don't know why that sounds familiar

How about we move the CC to France this evening for some lovely wine ... champagne ... some chocolate for those so inclined Some escargot

 

[MickeyBabe]

gometros.... From what I can determine the name was inspired by Ray Bradbury since he was a consultant on Spaceship Earth.

Granny... Thank you so much for the refreshment, I need more hammock rest I've been told


Jen.... France sounds divine

 

[Granny]

Welcome back polk! Glad you found us!


Sandy, does Spaceship Earth come from Jules Verne? I liked the HG Wells guess, but Jules Verne is kind of in that area too!

Jen...I'm not a big French food fan, and their beer is lousy, but it is hard to beat their vino. I'm there!

 

[Carpe'Disney]

UMMM Spaceship earth my favorite geodesic sphere.
Inspiration Buckminister fuller
Natural Equivilent C-60(buckministerfullerines)
Wonderful concept that isnt used enough
I believe Buckminister fuller coined the phrase "Spaceship Earth" too. He was making a grande statement about how we are all in a critical point in our history. www.spaceshipearth.org

Fun Fun stuff.
Really boring to some

 

[Carpe'Disney]

since gometros isn't going to be back until morning I'll try to keep things moving with an easy one.
Who presents the attraction Star tours? I assume they are the sponsor too.

 

[MickeyBabe]

Carpe'.... I'll guess THX Inc. is the Star Tours sponsor

Jen thanks for making the move to France for us... you are becoming quite the moving expert ...very little joke... meant to invoke a very little smile

I have been delegated to more hammock rest so I'll just be over here in my hammock sipping my Ice Water.... Jen maybe you could slip me some of the healing waters of SSL '71

 

[jwill]

Is it Energizer batteries?

What time does Illuminations start?

 

[Carpe'Disney]

Jwill you got it.
I think illuminations is at 9:00 or 9:15. Never quite got that one right. I'll have to look on my stuff from last trip.

 

[DisneyJen]

This spot here in France is perfect for the 9 p.m. start of IllumiNations ...

Jwill can you help me move MBabe's hammock here in the CC to the perfect viewing spot ... you know, Movers R Us And someone find a bottle of 1971 SSL pronto along with the GF Spa water to speed MBabe's recovery

Jwill looks like you are up Toss a question out there please

 

[jwill]

Might as well turn all the ccac's around for Illuminations.

How many Magic carpets are on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin?

 

[Granny]

jwill....avoiding the strong temptation to pull out the shotgun....how about 16 carpets?


Ooooohhh............aaahhhhhhhhhhhh


Don't you just love Illuminations?

 

[Horizons16]

because they say its like a grand and miraculous space ship at the end of the ride... or is it because walt had thought of an Earth space ship?

 

[Horizons16]

that was to spaceship earth by the way
