Disney Theme Park Trivia

[schinkus98]

Still need to come down a little more (in so much as you can say hundreds of tons is a “little more�!).

[kraysister]

2000?

[schinkus98]

That’s close enough! Tron was constructed with 3800 pieces of steel weighing approximately 1900 tons!

[kraysister]

And the ride lasts less than a minute I swear. Still really fun to go on.


Where are the oldest animatronics still in use at Disney World?

[schinkus98]

First guess would have to be Small World?

[kraysister]

Surprisingly, not Small World, but it is Magic Kingdom.

[schinkus98]

Second guess would be Carousel of Progress?

[kraysister]

Yes! The bluebirds on the tree are the ones used in Mary Poppins (1964)

[schinkus98]

In what attraction will you find NINE different president animatronics, re-purposed for a variety of other vocations?

[kraysister]

Spaceship Earth? Lots of animatronics on that ride.

[schinkus98]

Boom! In Spaceship Earth you will find Dwight Eisenhower (mandolin player), Franklin Pierce (scholar), John Tyler (Turkish scholar), John Adams (monk), Zachary Taylor (centurion), Teddy Roosevelt (Roman senator ), William Taft Egyptian priest), Andrew Jackson (printer) and James Buchanan (early printing pioneer).

[kraysister]

Wow. Way to recycle.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is now where 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea used to be. Can you name either of the 2 attractions that were there before that?

[schinkus98]

Complete shot in the dark, but the Skyway maybe?

[kraysister]

Not the skyway. They were both stationary attractions. One even had an ocean connection.

[schinkus98]

I’m vaguely remembering an attraction with Winnie the Pooh in it, that may or may not have been around at least for my first trip to WDW (2006). I may not be putting it in the right park, though.
