Here's an interesting one:
Approximately how tall would you have to be to use Spaceship Earth as a golf ball?
I'm not quite sure how I'll deal with a variance on the answer. I guess I'll be judge and jury on that.

Approximately 6,000 ft. or just over 1 mile.

Sorry. That was a pure guess. I did read it once, but I can't remember the answer. I'll try to find it in one of my books.

How about this: The person would have to be approx. 1.2 miles tall and the hole would be approx. 417 ft. in diameter.

Secondstar - My source said 2 miles, but I checked a few more places and it seems that your numbers are the consensus out there. You were pretty much right the first time. My apologies.
You're up.

No Problem. Please, let me know if this is too obscure.
What was the proposed The Wizard of Bras project, which Walt Disney scrapped?

Wasn't that the name of one of the stores on Mainstreet?

I believe that it was an animotronic show that was part of an intimate/lingerie shop on Mainstreet. It closed back in 1956 or 1957.

zdog, you are close enough. It was a proposed corsett shop on Main Street. I don't know if it ever opened, however. Your turn.

Secondstar,
I looked it up after I answered and I have to imagine it opened up because they talk of it closing in 1956, meaning it must have been open in order to be closed.
Maybe they'll be opening a Victoria's Secret on Main Street USA one of these days.
New Question:
What famous Presidential speech was made on Disney property?

Ok, The Kali River Rapids ride flows along the Chakranadi River. Chakranadi is sanskrit for what?

I know the answer but I'll leave it for someone else. This board has recently become the Secondstar/Zdog show.
