Disney Trivia (Expert Edition)

[Main Street Jim]

Does anybody know when the Lilly Belle is due back from "the spa"?

Looks like Lilly is out for quite some time. She's been gone now almost two years, and the problems are more serious than originally thought She was my favorite locomotive...the one I learned on.

1) What is the "official" name of the main Maintenance building for Attractions at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom?

The Production Center on Caribbean Way (between Splash Mtn & PotC). Saw this on a Keys to the Kingdom tour

Nope That's the "Entertainment" building that houses the parade floats. I'm looking for another building

Hmmm. In that case I'll try the Central Shops located next to the Roundhouse

[Zawadi]

10) What three attractions debuted in the 1959 "remodel" of Disneyland's Tomorrowland?

• Disneyland Monorail
• Submarine Voyage
• Matterhorn

[Main Street Jim]

Hmmm. In that case I'll try the Central Shops located next to the Roundhouse

Correct! That's where attraction vehicles are maintained, signs painted, and all kinds of other magic performed

On the Monorail question: both Monorails originally traveled clockwise (MK -> Contemporary -> Poly -> MK). The Express Monorail was changed when it was discovered that Pilots would actually "drag race" each other, and blow through the hotel stops Management made a change *very* quickly

The Tapestry of Dreams parade had the Dreamweavers and Dream seekers

For the Disney-Pixar items, I was looking for the Pizza Planet truck and the Pixar ball (yellow, blue and red with a star). The license plate (A113?) I'm not sure if it appears in *every* Disney-Pixar film...if it does...then that's one I missed

Who's next?

[Zawadi]

Wow! That was fast with correct answers as well

I wasn't telling lies about Beverley being my favourite dink in Club Cool. I've received some strange looks after knocking back the 5th/6th consecutive shot.

So, still outstanding are:

2) Why is the WDWRR rolling stock that is used in the MK's opening ceremony not normally used for the transportation of guests?
(Thanks for being a sport MainStreetJim. If nobody answers within a couple of days then fell free to jump in)

10) What type (manufacturer & model) of aircraft is N234MM and when was it withdrawn from service?

[Elias1901]

2) Why is the WDWRR rolling stock that is used in the MK's opening ceremony not normally used for the transportation of guests?

Well... they do have to fit many characters on the train for opening and I'd assume that the regular passenger cars wouldn't have enough space to accommodate them (also so the characters can step off the train on the reverse side, facing the Mickey floral and Entrance Plaza).

2) Why is the WDWRR rolling stock that is used in the MK's opening ceremony not normally used for the transportation of guests?

so the characters can step off the train on the reverse side, facing the Mickey floral and Entrance Plaza.

This is what I was after. It takes around 2 hours to fit the safety rails on the non-platform side. I believe that these carriages are normally associated with the No. 2 - Lilly Belle.

Anything else you can add MainStreetJim?

Now, all that remains is:

10) What type (manufacturer & model) of aircraft is N234MM and when was it withdrawn from service?

I can add that it's about 2 hours *per car* to add those "safety things" onto the train. The 200 coaches (the green ones, and yes, usually associated with Lilly) have no railings on the first two cars, so that the characters and "First Family" can exit on the left-hand ("turnstile") side of the platform to greet guests.

Each set of coaches <passenger cars> is numbered: 100 (red); 200 (green); 300 (yellow); and 400 (blue). They're not *permanently* assigned to any one locomotive, although each locomotive is numbered 1 through 4 (which gives me a good idea for another railroad trivia question later!).
