missingmusician Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I think this is a trick question. I can't find anything there that goes faster than California Screamin' so my answer is Soarin' Over California...as you're supposed to be flying. When they opened Disneyland in 1955, they were running behind. What did they do the night before opening that allowed the first guests to leave behind, shall we say...an impression?

America Sings Freak Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 The answer to the fastest ride at Disneyland is the Monorail it has a maximum speed of 75 mph (when it is being towed). ^ It was based off the Disney movie Treasure Island. What was the original purpose of the Tiki Room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 ^I really have no clue but my best guess is a restaurant. And because I love Haunted Mansion (I'll start out easy...kind of) What are the names of the 3 hitchhiking ghosts? Kevin "Loves this thread!"M.

America Sings Freak Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 ^ I have know clue what their names are, but you are correct the Tiki Room was originally going to be a restaurant. What Disney movie did the animated stars Brer Bear, Brer Rabbit, and Brer Fox appear in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Song of the South. Their Names are Gus, Erza and Phineas. Both Expedition Everest (from the top of the mountain) and Tower of Terror (from the top of the building) are 199ft tall, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 What was Walts motivation and inspiration for POTC? This was a hard one so I'll post the link since it's such a interesting bit of trivia (good read too btw): In the 1960s, Knott's Berry Farm added two pioneering rides: Timber Mountain, an early log flume ride, and Calico Mine, a "dark ride" in industry parlance that toured a gold mine. Its design—narrow shafts opening onto large decorated caverns—would inspire later Disneyland attractions. "You never wanted to copy what the other guy was doing," says Ed Feuer, a former Disneyland engineer who helped build many of the park's early attractions and now runs his own design company, Ride & Show Engineering. "But when Knott's came out with the log ride, we said to ourselves, 'Darn, why didn't we think of that?' " What Disney did think of was Pirates of the Caribbean, which opened in 1967 and shook the industry like a cannon shot. http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/wow03.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapseofreason Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Song of the South.Their Names are Gus, Erza and Phineas. Both Expedition Everest (from the top of the mountain) and Tower of Terror (from the top of the building) are 199ft tall, why? Because the FAA restricted them from building anything taller than that? Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were any taller, they'd have to put red lights on top and that would be ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterofthematrix91 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 How about this: what is the special effect used in the Haunted Mansion's portrait scene? (How do they go up?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
America Sings Freak Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 How about this: what is the special effect used in the Haunted Mansion's portrait scene? (How do they go up?) They go up (at Disneyland) when the elevator goes underground. Which attraction opened in 1967 with the new Tomorrowland, shrunk you down to the size of an atom, and was closed to make room for Star Tour?

missingmusician Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The answer to the fastest ride at Disneyland is the Monorail it has a maximum speed of 75 mph (when it is being towed). I'd really like to see a source on that. I know the Disneyland and Disney World Monorails are a little different, but I used to work in Monorails at Disney World and the only thing that will go on the monorail track is a monorail, so I don't know how anything would be towed. The max speed of the monorails at Disney World is 55 MPH. The max speed they are driven is at 35 MPH. They have very strict rules as to how fast they are driven. What is your source for this information? I did some research myself and couldn't find anything to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America Sings Freak Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Stage coach? What was the attraction that occupied the same area as the Submarine lagoon before it became Subarine voyage? ^ No actually it replaced Rainbow Caverns Mine Train which with the stage coach and a few other animal powered attractions in the area were turned into Mine Trains Through Nature's Wonderland. You most likely mean Phantom Boats, but the Motor Boat Cruise was a similar attraction in that same area. What was the original name of the bear who snored at the first drop of Disneyland's Splash Mountain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
