'Useless' info about WDW...

[Isafari]

I have read many WDW books from the library - I'm sure everyone can add a little something to this thread............

All the tigers at AK are females. They are not allowed to breed because they are "hybrids" of different species.

The first tree planted at AK was an authentic Acacia Xanthophlosa, grown from a seed that Disney acquired in Africa.

The ToT was originally designed to have an ornate top. But with this top, it would put the building over 200 feet, requiring Disney to put lights on top for airplanes. Disney scrapped the idea, so now ToT is 199 feet tall.

I only know useless Disneyland info....

When Kali River Rapids opened, the "temple" at the beginning of the queue had shoes attached to a ledge on the front, giving the impression that shoes were to be removed before people enter. These shoes were removed from the "temple", however, when guests from Asian countries began leaving their shoes outside with the attached ones!

Oooo, yes, we were told about that one on the tour. This makes ToT taller than Cinderella Castle, hard to imagine.......... :shrug:

10 bits of info

1. The Liberty Belle Riverboat has no pilot; the boat is attached to an underwater track.
2. Spectromagic has over 600000 lights.
3. There is a hidden butterfly garden behind the Tea Caddy Shop in United Kingdom at EPCOT.
4. Before "Illuminations: Reflections of Earth" starts check which direction the flames in the torches are blowing this will show which way the smoke from the fireworks will blow then avoid that side of the lagoon.
5. Rock'N'Roller Coaster accelarates from 0-60 in just under 3 seconds. :eek:
6. Sound Dangerous is the worst "attraction" at any Disney park. Avoid at all costs. :sleep: :yawn: :sleep:
7. Dont miss "One mans Dream" at MGM. The story of Walt Disneys life told by the man himself. A showcase of all the films through to the building of the theme parks ending in a 15 minute film of archival footage of Walts life. amazing. :thumbs:
8. "Fantasy In The Sky" fireworks, dont stand too close to the castle.It blocks your view of the fireworks that come from behind it.
9. "Splash Mountain" is the tallest mountain in Florida.
10. The "Walt Disney World Railroad" at Magic Kingdom uses genine 1928 steam-powered trains.
