[Zawadi]

4. Rockn Roller Coaster
5. 13

4. RnR - you'd think so but it's not the case
5. 13 - it's not that spooky. The clocks tell a real time

[Zawadi]

Where can you hear "Ready when you are CB"?
What have Roy O. Disney and Admiral Joe Fowler got in common?
Who conducts the Martian Pops Orchestra?
Which ride has the greatest minimum height restriction?
At what time did the clocks stop within the Hollywood Tower Hotel?

There has been over 100 viewings of these questions but only a single answer attempt (thank you DisneyFreak23).

Does anybody else want to have a go? It doesn't matter it you're right or wrong. Just have fun and we can all learn more about WDW.

Would you like some extra clues/hints?

[IamBelle]

i think i know 3 of them, so i'll try...
1. Test Track
2. Both have ferry boats
5. 12

[hokies4life]

1. The Great Movie Ride
2. The whistle from the old Admiral Joe Fowler Riverboat ended up on the Roy O. Disney steam train
3. Leonard Burnedstar
4. Tomorrowland Speedway - 52"
5. 7:05

that took so much research...whew :mickey:

[Zawadi]

1. The Great Movie Ride Yes - it's said by your guide as you leave the loading area.
2. The whistle from the old Admiral Joe Fowler Riverboat ended up on the Roy O. Disney steam train Yes - In 1980 the Admiral Joe Fowler was destroyed in dry dock. Its whistle was salvaged and placed on WDWRR locomotive #4 "Roy O Disney". The whistle of this locomotive has a lower pitch than that of the other locomotives.
3. Leonard Burnedstar Yes
4. Tomorrowland Speedway - 52" Yes - Strange considering this is a kids ride but the rules state that the driver must be at least 52"
5. 7:05 No - But so, so close. Mins are correct just check the hour

that took so much research...whew :mickey:

WOW! I'm impressed - just check #5

Just for getting #2 & #3 you can post the next set of questions :mickey:

[Zawadi]

Ooh- these are hard. I know the rock'n'roller track is 3,403 feet long but i can't get the others.
I'll give you that. Some say 3400ft but within 0.09% is close enough for me :)


Oh, and the tallest resort is the the dolphin.
Correct

That's 2 down and 3 to go!

Any other takers? :mickey:

[hokies4life]

You are correct on numbers 2,3, and 5.
1. This answer can be found when looking up information about the monorail.
4. This one I don't know if you can find on the internet, it is just something I have noticed and thought it would be fun to see if anyone else has picked up on it before. :mickey:

1 - California (Total guess! If wrong then only 49 to go :D )

4 - "a net of green jello" referring to Annette Funicello.

[goofy78]

1 - California (Total guess! If wrong then only 49 to go :D )

4 - "a net of green jello" referring to Annette Funicello.

California is incorrect, it is actually Washington! Just trying to save you from the other 49 guesses :D.

4. This is partly correct, I believe that it is "a net full of jello" and yes it is referring to Annette Funicello! Good job :thumbsup:

your turn!

2 - yes. That question came to me after watching CSI:NY
3 - excellent :thumbsup:

[goofy78]

After hours, and I do mean hours, of searching I have finally found the answer. Tinkerbell flies 750 feet at 15 mph for Wishes. Man I cannot believe how long it took me to find the answer! :mickey:

[Zawadi]

:congrats:

Your reward is to put on your question setting cap

:mickey:

[goofy78]

Pageant
10: classic, safari, cowboy, sorcerer, steamboat willie in Fanstamic, spectromagic, film director plus party night specials: pirate, halloween & christmas. (Mickey used to have a scarecrow outfit for halloween but this has been replaced with a purple evening suit)
16 dumbos each holding a maximum of 2 people

[goofy78]

1. I'll give you a hint for this question.
Epcot

4. The answer I found gave a lot more than 10. I don't have a full list of them but I found a different number.

[Zawadi]

A.R.I.E.L was part of AT&T's FutureCom exhibit in Communicor West (now Innovations) back in 1982. Stands for Automatic Retrieval of Information ELectronically.

There's only 1 hit with the EPCOT reference. I'd never have found it without the hint. :thumbsup:

Now, to find Mickey's hidden wardrobe!!

Good job :thumbsup:

Good luck on the outfits!!

[Zawadi]

I've eventually found a reference to Mickey having 175 outfits. No idea what the 165 above my initial 10 are though.

[goofy78]

Yep!! :thumbsup: I found 175 myself. I don't know the complete list, but a couple more would be the scuba outfit and the tuxedo. Doesn't he also have a luau outfit? I don't know if 175 is correct but it does seem that there is definitely more than 10. Either way it is your turn my friend to post some tricky ones :D

[Zawadi]

I hope these are tricky enough...


Which fire alarm system is used in the monorail trains?
Mickey can be found on which planet in Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin?
Which Disney character can be found at the end of the maze in the UK area of EPCOT?
Name the lady who "cleans up" prior to Indianna Jones Stunt Spectacular?
How many different songs does Cinderella's Golden Carrousel play?


Happy hunting :mickey:

Well done! All correct.

iDisney to post some new questions.

[iDisney]

1) What are the names of the three possums that hang upside down from a branch in a scene from Splash Mountain?

2) As you are on the moving walkway exiting Space Mountain, there was a hidden mickey in one of the scenes. It has now been moved. Where was it and where is it now?

3) What is the passenger carrying capacity of the raft that takes guests to and from Tom Sawyer Island?

4) The double helix tower that formerly stood outside of the Wonders of Life pavilion was billions of times larger than an actual DNA strand. How tall would someone have to be for this strand to be actual size?

[iDisney]

2) On the collar of the robot dog
3) max capacity is 70 people
4) 5.5 billion to 1
5) 18000 all hand painted!

1) Not even a guess?
2) That is where it was, but where is it now?
3) That's close, but not the answer I read.
4) While that is correct, I was looking for an actual height. (Inches, Feet, Miles, etc.)
5) ABSOLUTELEY CORRECT!

You are so close!

[goofy78]

1. NO IDEA!!!!
2. The collar has been moved to the bottom of the teleportation tube at the speedramp
3. Standard carrying capacity 55 persons
4. The person would be 6 million miles tall

[iDisney]

All answers are correct, except for the first one of course!

Someone must know who they are!

[Zawadi]

The only names that I could find were Ma Possum, Sis Possum and Brer Possum from items that related to Brer Rabbit and the "America Sings" show (where some of the animatronic characters came from). However, I can't imagine Brer Possum with a yellow bow and wearing pink

[goofy78]

Those were the names I found as well, however, not listed as the names of the three hanging from the tree. This one is a stumper!! :thumbsup:

Good questions iDisney!

[iDisney]

Thanks for the good questions comment! Nope, those still aren't the names though. You all give up? They are: Pansy, Poppy, and Petunia! Their names are on the mailboxes by their treehouse door!

[goofy78]

I remember those mailboxes now! If anyone wants to post another 5 questions feel free to do so, otherwise I will post a new set. :cool:

[Zawadi]

You were more accurate than me on some of the answer so you go for the next set of questions.

[goofy78]

These should be easy enough. :mickey:

1. When WDW opened Tomorrowland had only two attractions in operation. What were they?
2. How many Magic Kingdoms can fit into Epcot?
3. A prop from a refurbished ride at epcot was displayed in a gift shop. What was the shop and the prop?

2. 3?

3. Dream Vehicle from Journeys into the Imagination in MouseGears

4. 50-54 logs

oops-forgot #5. The Great Movie ride was going to be an Epcot pavilion. Instead they built a park around the theme.

[goofy78]

Nice job Tink1! :thumbsup:

You slam dunked them! Your turn to post another 5 questions.

[Tink1]

Oh dear, I didn't know I would have to come UP with questions!

You are so good at it, can you do???

[Zawadi]

4/5 for CaptSmee

[Polynesian Dweller]

For number 2 I remember a figure of around 150 so I'll say 155.

[Zawadi]

:oops: I missed a word out of the question.

It should have read:
How many animatronic singing birds live in the Enchanted Tiki Room?

:blush:

There are 88 singing birds, but I do not know the total number of birds, so 155 may well be correct.

Does somebody else want to post the next set of questions?

[Polynesian Dweller]

There are a number of non-singing birds. Yes, someone else put up the questions, I'm not great at creating these kinds of questions.

[goofy78]

The attraction originally opened with 156 singing, talking, and dancing birds. I do not know how the refurb changed these numbers. Here is a new set of questions.

1. How much does the globe from illuminations weigh in pounds?
2. Where can you hear the song "Heart, We Did All That We Could"?
3. How much steel did it take to build Cinderella Castle?
4. What is the name of the person on the video that greets you at Soarin'?
5. Who designed the ballroom scene at the Haunted Mansion?

Patrick Warburton
I've got this down to one of two. I'll go for Marc Fraser Davis

[goofy78]

:thumbsup: Nice job Zawadi!

I believe you missed a zero on answer number one but you had it.

[Zawadi]

Google at the ready for the next set of questions...

What has the owner of the Haunted Mansion got in common with Fantasia?
Where was the Liberty Belle built?
On which date did the Mulan parade start its regular run in MGM studios?
The dinosaur statue in AK's Dinoland USA is by which sculptor?
What is unique about WDW's Tower of Terror when compared to those in both California and Paris?

These have been up for a week now. Any takers?

[goofy78]

Sorry, been really tied up at work. Not much down time even at home. I will give them a try today. :mickey:

[goofy78]

1. Master Gracey was named after Yale Gracey who was an imagineer and layout artist for Fantasia.
2. Built in WDW
3. June 19, 1998

I will get back to the last two later. :D

Yes - Yale Gracey b1911, d1983
Yes - It was constructed in WDW's dry dock.
My book quoted 18th June 1998 but you're close enough.

#4 might have you searching for a while
#5 is easier (but I've been lucky enough to ride on all 3 ToTs)

[Mad About Mickey]

4. Waylon Dobson?

5. WDW has two shafts, California & Paris have 3 shafts.

[Zawadi]

4. Waylon Dobson?

5. WDW has two shafts, California & Paris have 3 shafts.

#4 Unfortunately not. The statue in question is outside Chester & Hester's

#5 There's a more fundamental difference that's not related to the number of drop shafts. Technically, WDW's ToT has 6 guest elevator shafts (excluding that of the "chicken" elevator)

[goofy78]

4. Gregory Warmack (Mr. Imagination)

5. The elevators start with an ascent at WDW while DCA and Paris start going backwards.

sorry it took so long to get to these.

[Zawadi]

4. Gregory Warmack (Mr. Imagination)

5. The elevators start with an ascent at WDW while DCA and Paris start going backwards.

sorry it took so long to get to these.

#4 Correct

#5 Not quite. However, you are on the right lines with the lateral (as opposed to vertical) motion of the "elevator" cars.

[goofy78]

:giveup: I got nothin on #5. What is the difference you are looking for?

[Zawadi]

:giveup: I got nothin on #5. What is the difference you are looking for?

The ToT at WDW is the only ToT to have the 5th dimension where the elevator car drives forward from the pre-show shaft to the main drop shaft.

goofy78's turn.

[goofy78]

Get ready guys, we will have a new set of questions coming up soon! :mickey:
