OK. I don't know if this one has been asked and I'm not going to go through 57 pages to check, so here goes:

In the Tower of terror, right before you enter the library for the preshow, there is a directory of the hotel rooms that have a few letters missing. If you look at the bottom of the directory, the fallen letters spell an anagram. What is the message they are trying to convey?

I believe they spell u r dead

That is not correct.

Zdog, is it u r doomed?

That's part of it but I should probably split hairs and require the rest of it. If someone can't get it with this much after a few tries I'll give it to you.

Last time I was there (Jan) these letters were not there. Maybe I was checking the wrong board though.

Keeping with the Tower of Terror theme...

What is the name of the episode of The Twilight Zone that is used at the beginning of the intro video in the library?

theBIGyowski, it is It's a Good Life?

zdog · Post by **zdog** » Mar Wed 25, 2009 4:58 pm

The episode referenced is "It's a Good Life". What a weird episode, but aren't they all.

I do not know the rules, regarding this game, so if this question is out of bounds, please let me know. I will formulate another.

We all know the story of how Walt Disney settled on Florida and secretly purchased the land. But that's not the whole story. In 1963, Walt and his entourage was sitting with city officials and other local dignitaries the night before commitment papers were to be signed. Walt's next "Disneyland" would not be built in Orlando, but in another city. The Disney entourage reiterated that beer and alcohol would not be sold directly in the park, but only in adjacent facilities. Just then, a tipsy, wealthy individual stood up and said "Any man who thinks he can design an attraction that is going to be a success in this city and not serve beer or liquor, ought to have his head examined!" Walt raised his one eyebrow in disapproval. He asked Card Walker when the plane could be readied for departure in the morning. Walker attempted to state there were legal documents to be signed, finalizing the location, but Walt told him we keep looking. The rest is well-known.

After that long exposition, the question is:

In what city was Walt's 2nd Disneyland nearly built.

And, as a bonus:

Who made the offending comment?

That's a great question, but easy. They were considering St. Louis and the remark was made by August Busch of the beer empire.

I'm glad it ended up in Florida because St. Louis can be pretty cold in the winter.

I thought it would take a little longer than that. But, "Yes," you are correct.
