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

[jwill]

Granny, just a guess but could the front of the plane be hanging in Planet Hollywood at DD?

I'll tag along to the Poly, I could use an appetizer or two.

 

[Granny]

Great to see you, jwill! I thought I had chased everone away!

Sorry, the front half of the plane is not at PH. When I read this tidbit, I thought it was a pretty unique piece of trivia.


And no more of these drinks with little umbrellas in them. Time for a beer!

 

[MickeyBabe]

Granny.... Is the other half of the plane used in the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular?

Hey, I'll have an ice water if you're buying

 

[Granny]

Hi MBabe....let us pull you up a rope hammock out here on the Poly beach. Ice water? Yeah, I think we can handle that, big spenders that we are. We'll toast to Jen and her big moving day!


I'm afraid the front half of that plane is not in the Indy Jones spectacular. Great guess though!

 

[Higgs22]

Higgs steps out from underneath his invisibility cloak where he has been lurking for the past 2 days...

I do believe that the other half of that plane is in the Casablanca scene of the Great Movie Ride....

Higgs picks up his invisibility cloak and dissapears into the CC mist once more...

 

[MickeyBabe]

Granny .... Is it in the GMR Casablanca scene?

Thanks for the hammock and the water.... I think I just might fall asleep right ........ zzzzzzzzz

 

[ozzel]

More importantly, that tail is not only from the Plane in the GMR Casablanca scene - but that whole plane is the same plane from the actual SCENE in Casablanca. Now that's spiffy trivia - considering they didn't set out to get the actual plane.

[Granny]

Good morning!

And a "Here's Looking at You, Kid" AAQ card to Higgs, the first one to identify where the front half of the plane is found.

For some reason, that just struck me as a particularly cool piece of trivia.

Kim....according to the place I read about this plane, the plane was not the same as the one in Casablanca. They said that was an urban myth, that Disney themselves help to spread through their CM's.

They make a pretty compelling case.....but I think it's cool just to think that they used both halves of the plane in different attractions. Don't ask me why....just strikes me as sort of neat.

Here's the web site that says that not only is it not the same plane as was used in Casablanca, but that they never even used a real plane in Casablanca! Enjoy the reading!

[Pirate Mickey]

Good morning to all!

Granny: Thanks for the great link to the Casablanca trivia. Someone else posted the snopes.com link before. I got lost in the trivia for about an hour the other day. Good stuff.

What questions are we working on today?

 

[Granny]

Oh, and an AAQ to MBabe.....I didn't notice that she also posted the correct answer at basically the same time as Higgs. I think simultaneous posting of a correct answer still allows for duplicate AAQ's.



Thanks for the coffee, MBabe. No, really, I would have given you the AAQ card even if you didn't bribe.....er...supply me with my morning caffeine!

 

[Granny]

Pirate...I don't think there are any open questions.

So if you've got one, please throw it out there. The AAQ's are just our little cyber-rewards....if there is no active question, anyone can toss one out there.

 

[Pirate Mickey]

OK. Here's one.

Where was this picture taken?

 

[madonna31]

Mickey - no idea - but based on the fence and darkness in the background of your pic, I am gonna take a wild guess and say the que area of Rock N Roller Coaster?

 

[B'rer Karen]

That picture is from Test Track

 

[Pirate Mickey]

B'rer Karen: Yes. It's from Test Track.

You got that one rather easily. Most of the questions I've asked have been easy. I thought this one would be a tougher one.

AAQ card to B'rer Karen!

 

[B'rer Karen]

Thanks PM. Test Track is my favorite ride at Epcot. I guess that's why that just jumped right out at me.

Currently at the Disney Studios you can play a version of the tv game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" in one of the stages on Mickey Avenue. Name another tv game show that used to be played in one of those same sets of stages in the early years of the park.

 

[Pirate Mickey]

Was it Wheel of Fortune?

 

[MickeyBabe]

Oh gee... I think Kim mentioned this once....

Br'er Karen..... I'll guess Win lose or draw?

 

[Higgs22]

Higgs drops his invisibility cloak for just a second...
I do believe that the game show in question was "Let's Make A Deal..."
In a flah of light and smoke...Higgs dissapears into the mist of the CC

 

[jwill]

I'll give higgs some moral support here and go with him and say Let's make a deal.
