One would think the sounds of screaming would've hinted to him that this wasn't the train he was looking for.Big Wallaby wrote:I have had that happen. Had a family of five sit down in the front row, and I began to check lap bars. At that moment, the dad looked up at me and asked which stop was the front of the park. Only time I have ever asked a guest if they were joking. Turns out he wasn't. A 50 minute wait to ride the railroad to the front of the park.

Re: Big Thunder Mountain TV Show
Well, with the modifications to Pirates you have a ride based on a movie base dona ride, so why not a movie based on a ride based on a movie with Mr Toad?KieranDotW wrote:... Isn't Mr. Toad based on a movie? Is this whole article a joke?
It will provide symmetry! :D:
Re: Big Thunder Mountain TV Show
I should have looked before I came to work to see who put the movie out, but there is a movie about Mr Toad. I think it has one of the Monty Python guys in it. We watched it once, but that was all.

In 1996 Disney released Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, which stared Eric Idle, John Cleese and Terry Jones of Monty Python fame. Eric Idle was Rat, John Cleese as Mr. Toad's lawyer and Terry Jones directed and was Toad. So at least three Monty Python guys were in it.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
