for example:
sg: this is Expedition Everest It is 300 feet tall, and is the fastest coaster this side of the mississippi!
(yes i heard a guest say that while online(yes me and my friends laughed out loud(yes i have friends ))) :p:
Next time ask them if the mountain is 300 feet tall, where are the FAA blinking red lights? Need them on any structure 200 feet and taller. (Everest is 199 feet tall). :eek:

So... Imagineering goes to all that work using forced perspective and special paints and finishes to make Everest look taller than it really is, and you get unhappy when it all *works*?!?

As long as it doesn't discourage them from riding, I leave my guests to their own fantasies, so long as they're in theme.

After all, if they wanted truth, they could... um... read SGT!

I still can't get over the time some kids were passing by the Grand Sierra Steamtrain, and one was about to go in, and his sister told him it was a restaurant! Or how some people used to ask if all the rides, especially on Boardwalk, were interconnected! Yeesh....

Guests often confuse the Meet - The - Character - Ariel Ariel's Grotto here at Disneyland with the restaurant Ariel's Grotto at Disney's California Adventure. They give a sigh of relief when they hear that it wasn't the right one that they were thinking about.

Back when Tomorrowland was first re-done I remember everyone going over to Innoventions "Is this the entrance to that (Rocket Rods)?" or wandering around inside looking for the entrance to Rocket Rods. "What do you mean this isn't the entrance? This one is two stories and so is that one..."


"Excuse me, could you tell me where I can find the entrance to the Rocket Rods?"

People could not find the entrance for the handicapped and baby swapping on Rocket Rods and would be wondering around lost also. The restroom up by Star Tours is so far back that it looks like an office entrance and it was poorly lit so people could not see the signs.

SG: Is this a ride?

SG: Is This a show?

SG: Does this go fast?

SG: Does this have loops?

SG: Is this a roller coaster?

I mean, they ask what the ride is even when there's a sign rRIGHT next to the entrance describing what it is, yet, they still ask what the ride is.

Anyone got a "What is this?" ride questions?
I forgot to add:

SG: What time does the show start??

i love the people who can't distuish the trains of big thunder, casey, and the disneyland railroad. i was on the disneyland railroad, and some guests were wondering if it was same as the casey jr train.
also i remember working in tomorrowland when the rods opened, if i had a dollar for each person who asked where they could board "that ride up the tracks" i would be rich. they never knew the name it was always "that ride"

I'd actually like to just point out that people in general are waaaay too lazy to read, it's just like the guest that happened to ask me what time the 9:00 showing of fantasmic was a while back..

They ask that question a lot... with A SCHEDULE IN THEIR HAND!!! As well as the "What is Fantasmic!?" question! That's why I point it out to them when I answer their question.
