[Main Street Jim]

1) What was the "working title" for EPCOT's Horizons attraction, and why?

The working title for this attraction was originally "Century III" because America was entering its third century.

2) The "Grand Opening of Walt Disney World" on NBC featured three very famous race car drivers for the opening of the Grand Prix Raceway, along with Herbie, the Love Bug. Who were the drivers?

Al Unser (Sr.), Mario Andretti, and Mark Donahue. The three drivers were, at the time, competing in the USAC Indy car championship.

3) Without looking it up : What year<s> and where were the four Walt Disney World Railroad steam locomotives built?

squad51 got one of these right. #2, the "Lilly Belle", was originally built in November, 1928 - the same month that Mickey and Minnie made their debuts The other three locomotives: #1 Walter E. Disney and #3 Roger E. Broggie were built side-by-side in the same shop in February 1925. The two locomotives even have consecutive boiler numbers. #4, the Roy O. Disney, is currently the oldest Walt Disney World attraction, being built in 1916 - although a lot of places, including "official" Disney trivia, would have you believe that Prince Charming's Royal Carousel is the oldest, built in 1917.

4) In the "Fantasia" segment of SpectroMagic, what Greek mythological deity adorns one of the floats?

That would be Bacchus, god of wine and partying

5) What was the precursor to the 1972 debut of the Main Street Electrical parade at Disneyland in California?

The Electrical Water Pageant at Walt Disney World debuted with the opening of the park in 1971, as a "test" for an "electrical musical parade". The Main Street Electrical Parade would debut the following year at Disneyland in California.

6) In "Cars", what - and who - was Doc Hudson and his three "Piston Cups" a tribute to (besides "old-school NASCAR racing")?

The "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" was a real car that ran in NASCAR's top division, Grand National, in the early 1950's. The car won three consecutive drivers' championships in 1951, 1952, and 1953, with Herb Thomas (1951, 1953) and Tim Flock (1952).
The make then won three consecutive Manufacturer's titles in 1952-54, although Lee Petty, driving an Oldsmobile, won the driver's championship in 1954.

7) In "Mary Poppins", "Uncle Albert" is played by the man who also voiced the Mad Hatter in "Alice in Wonderland". Who is he?

Zawadi got this one right; it was Ed Wynn.

8) Eleanor Audley provided the voice for an animated-feature villain, and a theme-park icon. Who are they?

Zawadi got this one as well, and I had forgotten there was another villain that she voiced. Madame Leota's voice was provided by Ms. Audley, as well as Lady Tremaine from "Cinderella", and Maleficent from "Sleeping Beauty".

9) Mary Blair designed the Grand Canyon Concourse in Disney's Contemporary Resort. What oddball creature can you find in this mural?

squad51 got this one. There is indeed a 5-legged goat in the mural. It's at about the 5th-floor level on the south side of the concourse above the Monorail beam.

10) Three more Disney Magic Kingdom-area resorts were originally planned as "Phase II" of Walt Disney World. What were these three resorts?

The planned MK-area resorts were: the Venetian (planned between the TTC and Contemporary); the Asian (planned to sit where the Grand Floridian is now situated, but they already had a "Polynesian"); and the Persian, planned to be situated north of the Contemporary on its own Monorail spur, but it didn't really fit in with the theming of Tomorrowland).

11) Who provided the singing voice for Shang in Disney's "Mulan"?

Zawadi got another one; it is indeed Donny Osmond

12) What were the previous, but not original (since the park opened with ten), colors of the Monorails?

Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, Pink, Coral, Lime, Gold, Silver, and Black. Purple and Pink are no longer with us; what was left of those two became Teal. The "Tron-orail" was made out of the Coral monorail, which is now Peach. Confused yet? LOL....

13) In "Toy Story 2", Tour Guide Barbie mentions another popular Mattel toy. What toy is it, and what model?

Hot Wheels And she mentions the Corvette.

14) Walt Disney licensed his characters to what popular toy in the 1930's, saving that company from bankruptcy?

Lionel electric trains.

15) Rank these four icons at Walt Disney World in terms of height, from tallest to shortest: Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, Cinderella Castle, Expedition: Everest (and name the heights ).

Tallest: Expedition: Everest at 199 1/2 feet; next is Tower of Terror at 199 feet; third is Cinderella Castle at 189 feet; and Space Mountain is 183 feet tall.

16) In "Beauty and the Beast", what four towns show up on the "directional sign" when Maurice claims that Phillipe gets them lost?

The four towns are Glendale (CA), Anaheim (CA), Valencia (CA), and Orlando (FL). All four towns have great significance in the history of the Walt Disney Company

17) In what sport did Walt Disney suffer an injury that "severely slowed him down" after the 1940s?

squad51 got this one; it was polo.

18) How did Disney legend Marc Davis find out that Walt might not be coming back to the company shortly before he (Walt) passed away?

Walt was leaving the studio one afternoon, and instead of his usual "See ya later", or "So long", Walt had said "Goodbye". Walt had *never* said "Goodbye"; at that point, Marc knew there was something seriously wrong with Walt.

19) In "The Country Bears Movie", what was the villain's "real name" (near the end of the movie), played by Christopher Walken?

Benny Farnswoggle
