I also heard from a monorail driver that another monorail could pull another monorail if it happened to break down too.

According to the wiki there are three tractors that tow the monorails if they happen to break down. Even if there is a power outage two of the tractors are still operable by on-board diesel engines.

Let's get this thread back on topic

When did Innoventions East and West open replacing the CommuniCore?

It was in July of 1994. However, I don't know the specific date.

I can see disqualifying the monorail as an "attraction", but the railroad is definitely an attraction. However, I don't have a trivia question on tap, so I'm willing to concede defeat for the sake of moving the game along.

ok, here's Disney trivia for you, one I learned while working as a CP ..Which MK ride is actually haunted, and how so?

Post by **Len90** » Jul Sun 27, 2008 11:54 pm

I know this one. It is POTC and his name is George. He was an imagineer who died when he fell working on the ride. Supposedly the CM's have to say goodnight to him everynight when they shut down the ride or else the following day the ride will have an e-stop or power loss.

I actually asked the CM's on the ride when I went on if they had said goodnight George, and they all knew what I was talking about and said "of course, we do it every night."

Very good Len!!! You are correct!! When I had to take the trash out of the que lines at 3 am sometimes, and I had to come in the back way where it is all dark and all I could here was pirates screaming, I was terrified!!! Several times there would be splashes in the puddles around me. I took that trash out in record time!

Very cool, but from what I understand George is a friendly ghost. Now for my next one. My answer is based on info I learned through a CM.

How many "motor coaches" or buses does Disney Transport have in their fleet? (Let the guessing begin)

Post by **js3901** » Jul Tue 29, 2008 11:15 pm

my guess is around 1300

Way lower than that.

Just the WDW transportation buses? Not Magical Express or Disney Cruise (which are actually owned/run by Mears)?

If we're talking just WDW transportation, I'm going to say 197

Magical Express and Disney Cruise Line are owned and operated by Mears, not Disney.

My guess would be, 112 if you only count the buses between Parks and Resorts.
