I can'r believe this has been moved to Chit Chat. :lol:

Wait... yes, I can.

I'm thinking he must be the real Jose Eber, why else use such an obscure reference.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't

 

[disneyfamily]

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't

mkt are you Jose Eber and are just playing devils advocate?

 

[mkt]

uhhhhhhhhh. No.

 

[Laura]

...I wish his screen name was different...

LOL - the whole time I was reading it I was thinking, "now why would he make something up like that? It's not even funny!" and then I noticed it wasn't you. :lol:

 

[imagineer boy]

Well, it looks like MaElStRoMROcKS has returned from the dead. Ya know he does have a reliable scource. Look how true his "pIeCE PiPEs" RUMUR was. :lookaroun

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing MaElstRoM come back again. I'm getting very tired of Jay. :lol:

 

[animal_king1990]

Thats not entirely true. There are some structures in WDW that are over 200 feet tall and have a red light on top. The Epcot Wand, and the WDW Dolphin are examples.

Really? I never noticed it. Do you have any pictures?

I don't believe the Swan or Dolphin have the red light on top b/c the statues are lit up so brightly with the spotlights.

URGENT NEWS FROM WDW!!
My friend has recently been to wdw and has recieved a pamphlet about E:E which has said the height, speed, and drop of this ride. He has reported that the drop is 200 ft. the speed while going forward is 100 mph.! The total height of this ride meaning just the mountain is 500 feet tall. Their is a section which has a hologram that it looks like the rides is just going to keep going up the mountain, except it stops and u go back down the mountain. This is all the info for now but this is definitly true and very exciting!
From,
WDWFREAK12

Oops!!! Above statement is not true... Please check your sources...

I don't believe the Swan or Dolphin have the red light on top b/c the statues are lit up so brightly with the spotlights.

The red aviation beacons run on rechargeable battery packs and are not subject to a power failure as are spotlights. Also, the aviation beacons have multiple automatic "backup" bulbs so they never go dark.

I hear the Yeti will weigh up to 5000 pounds and jump up to 25 feet! And that's the only animatronic that can do that! Kinda freaky isn't it?

 

[wdwishes2005]

The 80 ft. drop height has been known for some time--not 200 ft. The mountain can't be 500 ft. tall for two reasons: First, the mountain can't be over 199 ft. tall without having an airplane beacon on top of it. That would totally destroy the theming at night, and is the same reason why the Tower of Terror is 199 ft. tall. Second, I've been there and seen the mountain--it's big, just not nearly that big. As for the speed, Rock 'n Rollercoaster is a launched coaster, and it only reaches 60-ish. Everest will be a gravity coaster, so I really don't see how it could possibly be 100 mph at any given time.

no, it is launched down the 500 ft hill at speeds of over 600 MPH. GET IT RIGHT!

I was just posting a picture of the beacon on top of the wand on SSE because someone asked for it Woody. The only reason I mentioned spotlights is because I do not remember seeing the red beacon lights on top of either the Swan or Dolphin.

It depends upon their height. FAA is the controlling authority.
