When...IS THE 9:00 PARADE!!?!?!!

T Beezie · Post by **T Beezie** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 10:16 pm

-The first Tinkerbell to fly from the top of the Matterhorn and begin the "Fantasy in the Sky" fireworks show was how old?

-King Arthur's Carrousel has how many horses?

-The bright red apple in the witch/queen's hand in Snow White's Scary Adventure was sometimes missing. It was frequently stolen by souvenier-seeking guests, thus depriving the next guest of the chance to see the apple. This problem was solved how?

* What year did Star Tours open?

* How many types of transportation are there on Main Street (not including the train)?

I believe that ride that was only there from 1998 to 2000 was Rocket Rods. The ride had many problems considering they tried to turn the former people mover track into a high speed ride. The speeding up and slowing down constantly was just too impracticle.

Star Tours opened 1985(I have the opening day watch). It replaced Adventures Through Innerspace.

Lets see, on mainstreet there is the fire engine, the trolly, the double decker bus, and the horse drawn carrage. (4)

The first tinkerbell was Tiny Kline. She was 71 years old. She died in 1964.

King Arthur's Carrousel has 72 horses.

Indeed the apple was stolen quite frequently. It was a grad night tradition to steal the apple. When they did an overhaul of the ride, they turned it into an untouchable optical image.

The "What time is the 9:00 parade?" is a question guests commonly ask cast members. The parade of course, starts at 9:00.

There is no Tomsawyer boat ride. There is only the Davy Crocket Explorer Cannoes, Tom Sawyer Island, Sailing Ship Columbia, Mark Twain River Boat, and there used to be the Keel Boats. I think you are thinking of the island. The island is currently on the drawing board. It is planned to be a pirate island.
The Western Rollar Coaster(Big Thunder Mountain Rail Road) is down frequently mostly because a train will stall on a lift hill. Or the computer(PLC) will not let the train procede because it thinks that two vechiles will collide.

For the secret areas, there are quite a few. But, here is two of my favorites.
Matterhorn Half Court. there is a half court in the top of the mountain to allow off duty mountain climbers to shoot hoops during thier breaks.

Club 33. A members only excluve club. It is in New Orleans next to Pirates. You will recognize the entrance due to a plaque reading "33". You cannot get in unless you are a member or know a member. It is the only place in the park where alcohol is served. Whats interesting about it is, its not actualy in Disneyland. People believe that the 33 comes from the amount of sponsers the park originaly had, but the name actualy comes from its street adress. 33 Royal Street. Most people just pass right by it and never notice the club, and Cast Members won't really talk about it. I've only been inside it once. Inside is a gold elevator and a circular staircase going around it for those who do not wish to use the elevator. Upstairs there are two dinning rooms in which they serve five star meals.

I as well have never been to Disneyland. I've only been to the Epcot Center, in Disneyworld, which is what you're thinking of.

The ride you are thinking of is Spaceship Earth. It takes place inside a giant geodesic dome. It serves as the landmark for Epcot, just like the Castle is the Landmark for Disneyland. Inside is a slow moving continously loading ride using the omnimover system that takes you in an upward spiral towards the top of the dome where you learn about the history of communication. Then at the top, your car turns around and you go spiriling down backwards. Its an interesting ride. This ride is in no way a rollar coaster. For that, I recommend Rock 'n' Rollar Coaster in MGM-Studios.
Also a fun little note about spaceship earth. As you know, it rains quite frequently in Florida. But has anyone ever noticed that water does not fall off the dome? That is because in every section of the dome, there is a small drainage system to take the water off the dome.

The Matterhorn travels at an average speed of 18 mph

Because you lack an imagination.

One and only one. When Disneyland does its character scheduling, they make sure two of the same characters are not onstage. What if you saw Mickey on Mainstreet, then saw him in Tomorrow land? It would ruin the illusion of Mickey for younger kids. Now if you are talking about how many people play mickey, thats a different story. There are several people who can play mickey on a given day. It used to be one older man named Paul Castle who was the only one who played Mickey. Now, most of the people that play Mickey(as well as most other characters) is a women. There are also many sized costumes for Mickey so no matter what the size of the preformer, they have a mickey costume to match.
