I think the two American versions of Big Thunder are modeled from Different national parks, but which is the odd one out…I’ll guess Disneyland? |

Got it in one!
Disneyland is based on Bryce Canyon, the other 3 are based on Monument Valley. |

Kodak, the original corporate sponsor, forced Disney to change the color scheme of characters in what attraction? |

Nope. The character who was given a different color from the original plan is not human. |

Yes!
Figment was supposed to be green (he is a dragon, after all). Kodak, being the attraction sponsor, didn't want the main character in it to be green, as that was the primary color in the product packaging for Fuji film, Kodak's largest rival at the time. |

One of my favorite rides, Splash Mountain, involves water, a lot of water.
How many gallons of water are continously cycled through the attraction? |

Interesting…I’ll guess 50,000 gallons, simply because that was the volume of a pool I used to help maintain. |

Well, the number does end with 50,000. |
