My first guess is Jack Sparrow from the last scene at Pirates of the Caribbean

I'm gonna give it a try and guess the father from Carousel of Progress.

Actually, I'm almost positive it's Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story Mania. Since I'll be away from the computer for several days, let someone else post the next question if that answer is correct....

JimB You are correct, which means anyone else can now ask a qustion!!

How many wheels are on the Test Track ride vehicles?

spodie · Post by **spodie** » Nov Wed 05, 2008 9:32 am

4 visible ones, but 22 after all the track ones underneath.

Haha, very true

, but yodiwan got it. If I was really evil, I would ask for the specific town it came from

. Anyway, it was inspired by the Wuppertahl Monorail. You're up, yodiwan!

actually, Spodie, that is incorrect. the Wuppertal monorail is a suspended train (rail on the top), not a straddle-beam like the Disneyland/WDW system. The actual answer is in Germany, but closer to Cologne, in a town called FÃ¼hlingen. the original was built by Alweg-Forschung, GmbH (Alweg Research Corporation). the original Disneyland trains were created to look like the old Buck Rogers shows, then updated when they came to WDW.

Hmm. Interesting. It seems like we may be saying the same things, but differently. Walt saw an updated version of the Wuppertahl train while on vacation in Germany in the '50s, so the Wuppertahl was the original inspiration. I don't know. It's too late to start researching it, but I'll see if I can dig anything up tomorrow.
