Karen it is something like a 3-hour star spangled salute to all things mostly American?

 

[Higgs22]

Sam the Eagle rocks...

I can't remember exactly what he says his contribution is...but I'll guess "dignity, honor, and patriotism..."
(or one of those 3...)

Sorry it's so rainy down south DJen....but thanks for the tip...I need to remember it's a big world..with a lot of yardarms...so that pesky sun is always going below at least one of them...LOL...

LOL..oh how could I forget that...but I think the actual title is "A 3-hour salute to all countries...but mostly America"

I love that

 

[B'rer Karen]

Okay I'm going to award a special good-job-working-together-to-come-up-with-a-close-enough-answer AAQ to Higgs and Jen. The wording I was looking for was "It's a salute to all nations, but mostly America." I believe later on he states that it is a glorious 3 hour finale, and that's when Kermit says "you've got a minute and a half."

Higgs and Jen, you're up.

 

[Higgs22]

OK...here is a quickie...

What company was the original sponsor of Space Mountain?

 

[CoasterAddict]

UPS?

 

[Higgs22]

Nope...not UPS...

 

[CoasterAddict]

RCA

 

[carpedm]

I'll second that guess of RCA being the original sponsor of Space Mountain.

 

[Higgs22]

Hey...welcome back CD

AAQs to coasteraddict and carpedm...RCA was the original sponser of Space Mountain...

OK we need a new question....


wow...some people must still be having server problems...there are a lot of regulars missing from the CC...oh well...we'll just save a place for them until they find their way back...and on the bright side...more whiparitas for us ....BTW...how's that sun on the yardarm DJen? Low enough yet? I think it is...

 

[DisneyJen]

The sun is trying to peek through here ... and if it were shining it would delinitely be time for Dole Whiparitas I still have to use the IP addy to get to the boards

Thanks Karen Turning it right back in with a softball ... I will be out of the CC for rest of the afternoon so whoever answers it first gets the AAQ

What attraction is replacing Horizons?

 

[Higgs22]

LOL...DJen...I'll join you in a Whiparita

BTW...Mission:Space is replacing Horizons...

OK...a new question...and a tough one...

Which actual NASA astronaut appeared in the original Space Mountain pre-ride film (the one that gives the safety spiel...don't stand up, keep your arms in...etc...)

Good luck with this one...

 

[CoasterAddict]

I can get to the boards by clicking links from the home page, but not from the links that come in the emails. I think it's a plan to make you *earn* your whiparita. BTW, I recommend spiking the Dole Whips with pineapple-infused vodka.

And I'm going to refrain from answering the new question, 'cause I don't want to be greedy.

 

[meuseman]

Higgs....

Was it Buzz Aldrin??

 

[iwannabeminnie]

Well Hi Ya'll! Pass me a whiparita. I don't care where the sun or the yardarm are!

I'll go with Buzz Aldrin too. I like Buzz. Reminds me of another fella named Buzz you can see in Tomorrowland.

 

[carpedm]

I believe the astronaut was Gordon Cooper, who participated in the Faith 7 (Mercury project) and Gemini 5 flights and was part of the Apollo program.

Of course, now he is more known as a UFO advocate.

 

[Higgs22]

LOL...as much as I agree that Buzz Aldrin would be appropriate...remember this was 1974...so Buzz Lightyear wasn't around...

Look for another astronaut...no hints yet...

OK...so I don't need to post a hint...

Just as soon as I finished my last post...CD gets the right answer...it was Gordon Cooper....

Looks like you're up CD...who needs a drink?

 

[carpedm]

I'll use both my AAQ's in one shot with a two part question...

Category: Space Mountain History

1) In what year did FedEx take over as sponsor of Space Mountain?
2) What two characters from the RCA post-show can still be seen in the current post-show section of Space Mountain?

 

[CoasterAddict]

Fed-Ex took over some time in the early 90s, I'm going to guess 1993.
