And here is the pitch, cut on hit in the air to deep center field. It is going, going, GONE!!! (Just had to do it)

This is a very intersting one that I learned when getting stuck on Kilamanjaro Safaris. When Disney built the attraction, they knew they were dealing with wild animals that can behave unexpectantly. The Rhinos on the course could charge the vehicle to try and flip it over. To make sure that this would not happen, Disney designed the vehicles to be heavy enough that it would take ____ full-sized Rhinos to flip one. Also, you will realize that when you are on the attraction you will never see this many Rhinos together.

I'm going to say 3 rhinos because I believe I've only seen 2 rhinos ever together on KSR. I should console with my best friend Jess who worked KSR< she would probably know this for sure

Not the right number. However, you are correct in only seeing the Rhinos in pairs. I might have to say consoling with friends is cheating. Was she on KSR over the summer? If so, she could have been the one to tell me this. I learned this while stopped on the ride due Ostriches on the course and we had the pleasant experience of 2 Rhino right next to our truck.

Oh She worked for a few days over the summer seasonally. Did you go in late July? And I also had those stupid ostriches stop in the middle of the path once

First guess is wrong. Your second guess is correct. The Rhinos are known to charge the trucks, but they will never be able to push one over. The trucks are designed to be heavy enough that it would take 5.

I can just imagine 5 rhinos attacking the truck filled with guests. It would be so scary even if the truck did not tip over.

You are up. And to answer packwingfn, I was at Animal Kingdom on July 7th.

I don't care how many rhinos it takes to flip the trucks, any rhinos charging is scary.

Now to the question, I think I remember seeing things painted on the fence in Toontown Square, but I don't know if there is a number or what it is.

Is it in the queue for Star Tours?

(PS if by some miracle I'm right, someone else can go because I don't have much Disney trivia knowledge)

Hey, if you see one or two rhinos charging, at least you can feel safe!! :D

My guess would be Dinosaur. I know there is some sort of hidden message on their wall.
