Thu 11/10/2005 6:49p | Alice passes above Mr. Toad.
People passed over/trough several Attractions including Skyway (passed directly overhead at TL Station).
Autopia passes/passed directly over the Submarine Lagoon.
Casey Jr. Circus Train crosses over the Storybook Land Canal Boats path several times.
Rafts to Tom Sawyer Island pass across the Mark Twain/Columbia track.
The Disneyland Railroad passes over "it's a small world."
Is that enough yet? |

Thu 11/10/2005 7:06p | That's good. Others that would work:
POTC, Alice, Indy, Splash, Space, the Matterhorn, and Big Thunder cross over themselves; the Monorail crossed the train, Autopia, and the PeopleMover; the PeopleMover crossed most of Tomorrowland; and the train crosses many paths |

Really? I'm pretty sure it does not. Maybe over Pinnochio? |

Fri 11/11/2005 9:04a | No--Alice and Pinocchio are very far apart from one another. Alice and Mr. Toad are back-to-back, as it were, share a show building: Alice is on the upper story for a portion of the ride (after the Golden Afternoon segment (going upstairs) and before the out-door leaves (going downstairs)), and a part of Mr. Toad is below it on the lower level. Get it? Disneyland is truly a marvel of engineering. No other Disney park can top it for precision use of every inch. And even then, consider the spaces that are presently not used! If there were an unending money supply, just think what could be done . . . . |

Fri 11/11/2005 9:32a | See, I really do need to brush up on my DL geography :-)
In the foggy recesses of my memory, I was seeing Alice where Pinocchio's restaurant is, instead of across from the Matterhorn. Which of course would have made it across from Toad, not behind it. I'll just have to visit the park again and do more research :-) |

Fri 11/11/2005 2:09p | OK--
From your memory, does the Monorail pass around the Matterhorn in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (from the point of view of Tinkerbell)? |

Sat 11/12/2005 6:42a | No no...counterclockwise...it approaches the station from the west! It passes near IASW then goes around the Matterhorn then faces Harbor Blvd. |

Sat 11/12/2005 9:33p | I should have clarified that I meant in ordinary, forward direction operation, which is the norm. The answer is counter-clockwise. For a long stretch during DCA's construction (and for at least one chunk of time thereafter), the Monorail operated bi-directionally. In that circumstance, the trains went both directions---clockwise en route to the Disneyland Hotel Station (now Downtown Disney), and counter-clockwise on the way into Tomorrowland. And trust me on this---I know the Matterhorn portion of the beam very well---it was there I earned a written safety warning (a long story for another time). |
