Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Horizons

Horizons closed initially in December 1994, reopened again in December 1995, then finally closed in January 1999 to make way for Mission: SPACE.

Answer: Frontierland

The "Mine Train" was replaced by Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in 1979. Toontown was not around when the Mine Train was running at Disneyland.

Answer: The Timekeeper

One of the most interesting scenes is when Jules Verne and H. G. Wells meet at the Paris' Worlds Fair. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was retired at the Magic Kingdom. Alien Encounter was replaced by Stitch's Great Escape at Walt Disney World. Monsanto's House of the Future was retired over 40 years ago in Disneyland.

Answer: Sounds Dangerous!

The attraction opened in 1999, and was closed in 2009, but officially, it was retired in 2012. "The Price Is Right" is an American TV game show that Drew Carey hosts.

Answer: Cranium Command

I was fortunate to see Cranium Command a few times weeks before it closed in December 2006. It is full of late 1980s US comic actors, besides those above, a few more were Bobcat Goldwaithe, Jon Lovitz, and even Charles Grodin. The pre-show cartoon was full of puns and a few inside jokes. Body Wars was a "Star Tours" type of attraction but more nauseating.

It was in the Wonders of Life pavilion with Cranium Command and was also closed in December 2006.

6. While we're in EPCOT Center, we are now on an attraction in motion. We learn the history of transportation on this attraction. Which attraction, replaced by Test Track, are we now riding?

Answer: World of Motion

World of Motion was replaced by the fun Test Track attraction in 1999. Soarin' is the exact same attraction as the one that opened at Disney California Adventure as "Soarin' Over California" in 2001. The one at Epcot opened in 2005.

Answer: The People Mover

The People Mover was closed to be replaced by the oft broken Rocket Rods in 1998. After about two years of malfunctions, the Rocket Rods closed down in 2000. The Viewliner was retired in a shorter time than Rocket Rods, about one year at Disneyland in the late 1950s. Superstar Limo lasted only about one year at Disney California Adventure.

Answer: Adventure Thru Inner Space

When we were young, Adventure Through Inner Space seemed so real. I was working at Disneyland when it was retired in 1985, and it opened as a new attraction, "Star Tours", in January 1987 at Disneyland.

Answer: America Sings

America Sings was opened in 1974 as a replacement for The Carousel of Progress. It closed in the spring of 1988 with most of the audio animatronic animals being used in Splash Mountain which opened in 1989 at Disneyland. "Magic Journeys" was a 3-D film that played in Tomorrowland for about one year. About a year after it closed, it was replaced by "Captain Eo" in 1986. Tragically, Cast Member Deborah Gail Stone was crushed to death in 1974 when she got too close to the rotating wall and stage wall.

She was the first Disneyland Cast Member killed while working an attraction.

Answer: Fantasyland and Tomorrowland

This attraction was at the park from 1956-1994. When Disneyland had ticket books, up until 1982, the one-way trip for a "D-ticket" was listed as "Skyway to Tomorrowland" or "Skyway to Fantasyland". A round trip required two tickets. The Skyway was always a headache to the brass at Disneyland, from a man jumping off, to weather stranding riders for hours, to the daily occurrence of little or even big imps spitting at guests below.
