What is the highest attraction in MK?

 

[WDWspider]

I would guess Spaceship Earth, followed by Tower of Terror. Not sure though.

D'oh! You said in MK, oops. I would go with Cinderella's Castle on that one, if it's an attraction... still just a guess though.

I have heard that the tallest in MK is actually Big Thunder (don't ask... its just what I have heard. Tower of Terror is the tallest in the WDW resort as a whole.

Yep, as far as i know.

What height is BTMR?

 

[WDWspider]

Tower of Terror is taller than SE???? How tall is SE?

180 feet

Spaceship Earth is only like 150 ft or something. Tower is 199 ft, and the main reason they didnt go over that was that warning light thing (BIG discussion a while ago). Tower has SE beat by a good deal (as strange as it seems).

I think BTMRR is 110 or something like that. I am not entirely sure on the exact height but I think the reason it is taller then everything else in MK is because they go from sea level and if you think about the lay out of that ride it is on a hill in the first place. Dont quote me on any information about MK heights though...

Wow, cool fact, I would never have guessed, that makes me like ToT more... I guess Spaceship Earth is just so menacing when you approach the park and enter, you can't miss it, it's really Big too, so it must appear alot taller because of how big it is.

How much more does the wand add to the height?

 

[tenchu]

BTMR is 197 feet tall.

 

[tenchu]

Okay, can anyone tell me how tall Cinderella castle is?

What!?! Wow! I know that is Mountain height, but I never would have thought that high. What's the tallest part of the track?? How tall is Splash and the Castle?

The castle is 189 feet and splash is 89 feet

How high is the drop on splash? (And for the bonus, what angle and what speed?)

The question was the tallest in the Magic Kingdom?

I think that the answer is Cinderella's castle at 199 feet (anything 200' or taller requires a beacon light for air traffic. The same is true for TOT , it is only 199 feet tall. Big Thunder Mountain is 197', followed by Splash MOuntain and Space Mountain, which is 180'. I've also read that Space MOuntain is actually the tallest structure in MK, but it was sunk into the ground so that it would not be taller than the castle, which is to be the focal point of the park.

That 197 has nothing to do with the track... its all in that very high platau thing with the goat. I have jsut always been curious as to how they measure (where from on the ground) because it jsut doesnt sem to be that tall.

Space mountain is 183 feet, so it is the 3rd highest in the MK.

And for everyones info, most of this information can be found on the main page of this website. (I was bringing all this stuff out of my head though, honest)

But I've more questions planned for later on which don't come from there!

Right, I understand that, so how tall is the track, and 89 foot for Splash mountain, you must have missed a 1 in front of that or something.

The angle and speed for Splash is I believe only about a 50 degree angle and a speed of about 45 or 50... I am not sure though. It would be a good physics problem.

Thats close enough for me :animwink:
