Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia: What do the PeopleMover and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster have in Common??
Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA On what the PeopleMover and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster have in common??
If you guessed wait times, you are incorrect. The PeopleMover is propelled by a Linear Induction Motor (LIM) which is the same system used to propel the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster to 60 MPH. Though the PeopleMover never reaches a speed over 7 MPH, the linear motors use an electrical current to create an electromagnetic field. The PeopleMover vehicles have magnets on them and the interaction with the magnetic fields create propulsion and move the vehicles along the track. The system is great on the environment and also on repair costs as fewer parts break down due to friction.

Fastpass to History: 25th Anniversary Cake
Welcome to our first post in the Fastpass to History, hosted by Frontierland Station.
To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Walt Disney World in 1996, the castle was transformed into a giant 18 story birthday cake. This was by far not my favorite idea from the Imagineers. Fortunately the cake was removed in early 1998.
What made up the cake??
- 1000 feet of pink and blue inflatable icing
- 400 Gallons of pink paint
- 26 Candles ranging in height of 20 to 40 feet
- 12 five foot gumdrops
- 16 five foot candy bears
- 4 six foot Life Savers
- 30 three foot lollipops
- 50 two foot gumballs

Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia: As the Carrousel turns…
Did You Know Today’s TIGGERIFIC TUESDAY TRIVIA On which way the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel turns??
This one made me think, hmm which way do some of the rides turn. Do you know which way the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel turns? Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise. Think hard, or look ahead to our picture for a big hint.
The answer is…. counter-clockwise. The Astro Orbiter does a better job keeping time as it turns with the clock.
Favorite Food Friday: Nutella and fresh fruit waffle sandwich
Location: Sleepy Hollow Refreshments (Magic Kingdom)
Price: $6.39
Funnel cakes are great for a sugar high, but if you want something a little more substantial you might want to head to Sleepy Hollow at the Magic Kingdom and try the delicious and fulfilling Nutella and fresh fruit waffle sandwich. This snack is a thick freshly baked waffle covered with hazelnut nutella spread and topped with fresh vibrant fruit. That’s right, Mom and Dad, unlike most park snacks, this one has nutritional value. It’s a great snack for two or even a small meal for one.
