I think the two American versions of Big Thunder are modeled from Different national parks, but which is the odd one outâ€¦Iâ€™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?

Was it World of Motion?

Nope. This attraction still exists.

Spaceship Earth?

schinkus98 · Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2022 7:58 am Post subject:

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

Is it Timekeeper/Figment?

schinkus98 · Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2022 8:28 am Post subject:

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?

schinkus98 · Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2022 12:12 pm Post subject:

Interestingâ€¦Iâ€™ll guess 50,000 gallons, simply because that was the volume of a pool I used to help maintain.

kraysister · Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2022 8:40 pm Post subject:

Well, the number does end with 50,000.

schinkus98 · Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2022 12:19 pm Post subject:

Oh my, so I was off substantially! 250,000 gallons?

kraysister · Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2022 11:28 pm Post subject:

Much higher than that surprisingly.

750,000 gallons? Giving me even more respect for Splash!
