Disney Trivia

[js3901]

Lion Sleeps Tonight would probably know this (maybe even acp) as they worked in MGM (LST was in custodial and acp was in food service/outdoor carts). if anyone, I'd say LST would know...

[subsonic]

Anybody want to compile a list of these questions so we can start trivia in the chat room?

[mikayla73]

Is this what you are looking for? I just took pretty much the answers that were given. #4 was never confirmed in a post. So I just put the answer the guesser gave.

1. Does anyone know where the front half of the plane on JC is located?
Answer: It is in the Great Movie Ride Casablanca scene. The Walt Disney Company actually bought a plane for the Casablanca scene in the GMR. They ended up cutting the plane and to not waste half a plane, they placed it in the JC.

2. What are the names of the 2 tracks on Space Mountain? One is 10 feet longer than the other. Which one?
Answer: Alpha and Omega. Alpha's 10 feet longer.

3. Which attraction has the longest track length in WDW?
Answer: Test track is the longest with 5,246 feet of track.

4. When did Innoventions East and West open replacing the CommuniCore?
Answer (not confirmed in the posts): It was in July of 1994. However, I don't know the specific date.

5. Which MK ride is actually haunted, and how so?
Answer: 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 every night when they shut down the ride or else the following day the ride will have an e-stop or power loss.

6. How many "motor coaches" or buses does Disney Transport have in their fleet?
Answer: The actual number is about 230.

7. In The Living Seas (or now, The Seas with Nemo and Friends), how many gallons of water are in the tank, and how quickly does that water get filtrated?
Answer: The volume of the tank is 5.7 million gallons. The entire tank can be filtered in approximately 2 Hours and 43 Minutes. It can be cleaned about 8.7 times per 24 hours. The tanks (according to the insurance requirements) can also be drained in a little over 2 minutes.

8. Somewhere in the Magic Kingdom, is an easter-egg-type reference to an "attraction" that doesn't show up on any of the park maps (and isn't in the Magic Kingdom itself). The complete answer gives: A. What "attraction." B. Where in the Magic Kingdom this reference is. C. What the nature of the reference is.
Answer: A. The world-famous Jungle Cruise expeditions. B. At the beginning of the queue, there is a cargo hold, with an infamous sign that refers to keeping your hands to yourself, if you want to keep them at all. C. Closer inspection confirms that many (if not all) of these are addressed to the one and only Adventurer's Club. I'm pretty sure that the address used is actually the real address of the Club; it does use a Lake Buena Vista address.

9. Where in the parks you can find a crate addressed to Old Key West (and the DVC stands don’t count).
Answer: It's in Animal Kingdom. It’s in Dinoland, near the exit of the mammoth dig in the brush there is a crate labeled "Ship to Old Key West".

10. Identify the only attraction in Epcot to be referenced in a video game, and what game.
Answer: Test Track and the game is Walt Disney World Magical Racing Tour

11. On what attraction does an animatronic give a cheer for Florida State University?
Answer: Splash Mountain, though that story is a thus-far unprovable rumor. In the Laughing Place, there's a series of ... what, prairie dogs? Chipmunks? Something. But they pop out and say things. Well, there's one in the ceiling that pops down and says something that most people say is "F! S! U!"

12. I have the "word" Forwhating in my signature. What attraction is that from?
Answer: It's the Magic of Disney Animation. Robin Williams' character says it in response to Walter Cronkite's 'foreboding'.

13. What was the name of the first Audio-Animatronics figure that could actually pick up objects? Let's do the name of the figure and the attraction.
Answer: The Robot from the Bird and Robot show at the World of Motion at EPCOT Center? It is in the Transcenter after the main part of the ride. The robots name was Tiger.

14. What molds are all the faces of the characters in Space Ship Earth made from? That is, what other Disney animatronics share the same faces as the majority of the animatronics in Space Ship Earth?
Answer: The Hall of Presidents

15. What attraction has the tallest height requirement in WDW?
Answer: Tomorrowland Speedway, one must be 52 inches tall. However, you can be any height to be a passenger.

16. How many fireworks/pyrotechnics are used every night in the wishes fireworks show?
Answer: 655. There are 557 firing cues and 683 pieces of pyrotechnics are used for every show of Wishes.

17. Who was the first walking audio animatronic and which attraction?
Answer: Benjamin Franklin walking up the stairs over at The American Adventure at the pavilion of the same name at Epcot.

18. In "it's a small world", there is one character that isn't smiling. Who is it, and what is he/she holding?
Answer: The clown in the White Room with the "help" sign

19. What is the volume of Spaceship Earth? Just the sphere, not the Project Tomorrow building.
Answer: 2,200,000 cubic feet

20. As we all know, most of the buildings on Main Street are not to scale to give a "forced perspective" look. There is one building on Main Street that is actually built to full scale. Which one is it and why was it built to full scale?
Answer: The Photo Exposition (Disneyana Store) was built full scale to block out the Contemporary.

21. What is the eighth land of the Magic Kingdom, not labeled on the maps, but prevalent throughout the park signage.
Answer: It’s by the Pirates of the Caribbean. It's called Caribbean Plaza.

22. In The Great movie ride there is a secret door in the queue area, what does the door lead to?
Answer: NO DEFINITE ANSWER YET

for #4, the real answer is:

ComminiCore closed January 31, 1994, and was replaced in the same year by InnoVentions

[agingerbugg]

Well, either this is a difficult question, or no one has been able to check it out this weekend. I will give it one more day before I give a clue. Although the clue will probably give it away.

[Cheshire Cat]

Does it lead to a break-room?

[Len90]

I would say maybe the alien area. I forget the actual name of the room, but it is where the thing comes out of the ceiling.

[js3901]

the Casablanca scene?

[agingerbugg]

No, it is not to a scene. It is in the "lobby" area of the Chinese theater. As you enter the front doors (not the automatic sliding doors, but the large wooden, black doors) the secret door is directly ahead of you.

[Cheshire Cat]

Wow... I know exactly what you're talking about and now I'm dying to know (we were stuck waiting right there for soooo long one time).

Does it lead to the room where they keep a giant sorcerer Mickey balloon?

PS How many guesses are we allowed?

[subsonic]

mikayla73,

Yes, that's a start, we'll need 100's of questions though for the trivia chat or it might start getting old with the same questions.

[agingerbugg]

No, it doesn't lead to the large Micky Sorcerer balloon. Does that balloon still exist? It's been so long since Sorcery in the Sky. From what I understand all that storage takes up half of the building, but the door is not concealed among the walls of the lobby. As far as the number of guesses, I will leave that up to Len90 to decide it is originally his game.

I will allow unlimited guessing... just one guess at a time. Also, to help out on these harder ones, I will allow you to do some research!

These rules have also been placed in the original post.

[agingerbugg]

Okay, time for another clue. Almost everyone of SSR's members has a room similar to this in their homes. I have two in my home. I think everyone is thinking too specifically, think more generally about the space behind the door.

[Cheshire Cat]

The computer/control room?
