Even when falling at the same speed it flew off my knee. However, I think this may be more likely due to me moving my knee slightly to have it lift...

    Not an engineer, but . . .

    I'm not a civil engineer but I'm a mechanical who's taken fluids courses. I can't gurantee an answer...but if I had to guess....the walls of the ride could have been held up by the water pressure in the lagoon, so when the water is removed, there is no more water pressure on the inside walls...

    Background music loops and past parades

    Many of the music loops can be found on IRC on server Newnet and chatroom #disney-central. I've gotten tons of backround loops, videos, and parades from there. It's an excellent resource for the disney enthusiast. Hope this helps. -Jim

    Space Mountain Lighting

    You mean those rocket cars ARE filled with liquid hydrogen and one exploded and went BOOM!?!? How terrible! They should run them suckers on gravity alone from now on....probably much safer! Bet eisner switched over to liquid hydrogen like the real shuttle so he won't have to pay for...

    The haunted mansion on disneyland's stretching room is an actual elevator since a lot of the ride is built underground. Just a little over 6 feet under.....well a little more then that prolly;-)
