Honestly not sure.

Also do you work for disneyland

How much are they paying you to know all this?

Thats not really a question about disneyland. If you need directions, try mapquest. Also, I do not work for Disney, but, as soon as I finish college, I plan to move down to Anehiem and work at Disneyland for a good portion of my life.

-F22raptorpilot

I believe the average speed on Test Track is about 24 Mph. The top speed is 68 Mph. As for Mission space, Disney has not confirmed the amount of G's you pull. It is pretty significant though. By far the most intense ride I've ever ridden.

Ombre wrote:How many of the actors have been accused of being child molesters?

Quite a few. In fact, someone tried to sue Disney to get rid of characters in which thier faces are not shown as currently you cannot see the type of person inside. It was thrown out. Also, a good number of people claim them to be sexual perverts. One case was filed by a heavy set women who claimed that one of the thress little pigs grabbed her breasts and sqealed "Mommy". The women dropped the case after Disney showed the women that the pigs arms were inoperable stubs that move by tugging on a bar inside the costume. They could not do what the women described they did.

I do admit, some dates such as the years Tinkerbell worked in the Park I had to look up again. But most everything else is out of memory.

RaVNzCRoFT wrote:How much does the Epcot ball weigh?

And what is the top speed in which the compartments on Mission: SPACE are spun?

I'm not exactly sure how much the Geodesic dome weighs. I think its upwards in the hundreds of thousands of tons. It took 4 or 5 extremly large cranes to get it into place. I don't know the top speed of the compartents. It is really fast though. My guess would be 50 Mph.

Unfortunantly, no. Not after Spartan Foods told them what the hamburgers were actualy made of(Its not cows.)

Of course

DoorM4n wrote:How large is DisneyWorld in acres?

I think Disneyworld has upwards around 30,000+ acres. Does any body want to share the story of how Disney aquired all of those acres? Or should I...

I'm not sure how much gunpowder is used, but I do know that the average firework show per night costs around $41,000 in fireworks.
There have been quite a few deaths at Disneyland. Heres a small list:
1. People mover (2) (Crushed)
2. Gang Violence (3) (Shootings and stabbings)
3. Monorail (1) (Ran over)
4. Pirates (1) (Heart Attack)
5. Columbia (1) (Metal Cleat went through the guests waiting in line after being ripped up from the dock)
5. Thunder Mountain (1) (Stood up and was thrown from the car)
6. America Sings (1) (Host fell between the theater and the wall. Rotating theater crushed her)
7. Rivers of America (1) (Drowning)
8. Matterhorn (1) (Stood up and was thrown from the car)

Note, these are just numbers that I remember and am %100 positive. People die at Disneyland quite frequently to natural causes. The numbers above are less than the total number of deaths.

Heres a few more secrets for you.
1. There is a light above the firehouse. It is kept on in memory of Walt. There is a full apartment up there that Walt used to stay in when he visited Disneyland. When the light was on, that meant he was in. When Walt was in, every employee was on thier best behavior.
2. If you walk into the castle, stare at the ground. There is a golden spike in the ground. That is the exact center of Disneyland.
3. If you face the haunted mansion and look to the right of the building, you will see a gate. Behind it is a pet cemetary. Guests do not normaly get to see this.
(Surprised no one asks about the haunted mansion)
4. On Buzz Lightyears Spin, you shoot targets with lazers. In the second room if you look up and into a corner there is a target there. Shoot it for 1 million points.
5. On the Jungle cruise, there is an elephant that shoots water at the boat. You think its water, but actualy its'not. (Read that outloud)

I suspect The Honey I shrunk the Audience will eventualy change, but currently, there are no plans to do so.
Space Mountain breaks down at least once every two days(If not more). The ride has been open since 1979, you do the math

The last major rehad that space had was the 2 year one that replaced most of the aging track and effects. They replaced the soundtrack(I miss the Dick Dale one

) and added new effects. There was planned to be a daytime and nighttime track(Different lighting and sound). Currently, for the next three months, it is only running the nighttime sound track. Its an interesting expirience, but I like the old one better.

Which Asian country has its own Disneyland?

How did Walt die?

fishface617 · Post by **fishface617** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 3:14 pm

Average guests a day, and per year?

Dan!! · Post by **Dan!!** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 3:30 pm

About the time I went 10-13 years ago, there was a Honey I Shrunk The Audience-type of show with the hoses and stuff. It either was related to the movie Aliens or was a blatant knockoff of it (most likely), but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. This was at Disney World though, so I'm not sure you'd know. Google and wikipedia turned up nothing.

Anyways, how hot does it get inside one of the costumes?

Pyroman · Post by **Pyroman** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 6:15 pm

Was/Is there anything special that happens every reunion of Walt's death?

Xiion · Post by **Xiion** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 6:24 pm

Where do they keep Walt Disneys ashes at? and which one of his kids took over his legacy at disneyland/world? if he had kids that, is. what exactly were the burgers made out of that made disneyland decline food production from spartan foods?

are there any pictures of disneylands secret areas?

Munsie · Post by **Munsie** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 6:39 pm

I don't THINK Walt had kids... Not really sure.

Go Locke go!
