Indiana Jones Adventure also fits this category, but came later (1995). SuperStar Limo/Nemo also has the under-the-surface-track, if I remember, but Winnie the Pooh does not, undoubtedly because it was overlaid into an existing structure.
572	FerretAfros Tue 1/10/2006 12:27p	Roger Rabbit is correct. However, SSL (now Monsters) has the bus bar system, like Pooh and the rest of Fantasyland. I would have also accepted the Submarine Voyage or the Motor Boat cruise, because technically, they run in a rut instead of on a bar.
573	monorailblue Tue 1/10/2006 12:51p	Well, I haven't been inside the SSL/MInc building since 2001, so I guess I just forgot. One thing I DO recall, though, is that RR originally had rubber-ish covering over the below-level track. Eventually, it began to bend and warp. I believe it was during the post-major-injury safety re-do that it was replaced with a solid cover with a wider opening (thus eliminating the need for a for squisy, movable, rubber-type cover). The opening is still extremely narrow (all things considered), and is less of a tripping hazard, should an evacuation occur. OK. Name 6 Disneyland Attractions with ride vehicles that you might board from EITHER the right or the left side, depending on the circumstances.
574	kmsandrbs Tue 1/10/2006 7:17p	Autopia Space Mountain (if you are coming through the exit) Splash Mountain (if you are coming through the exit) Big Thunder (same as the other two mountains) Pirates (same as the mountains) Small World
575	gaydsnywitch Wed 1/11/2006 7:44a	Just in case kmsandrbs didn't get the ones you were thinking of, I'm going to submit my list. autopia small world indie tea cups matterhorn btmrr (coming in the regular way when they're loading on both tracks)
576	monorailblue Wed 1/11/2006 1:20p	Comments: Autopia: yes, and no. Each Autopia car is only boardable on one side; two of the four tracks load from the left, two load from the right, and the cars are not interchangeable. (Physically, they could run on the 'wrong' track, but they never are because the CM pedal is only on one side and needs to be on the same side for all cars on the track. So you, as a Guest, may end up loading from either side, but each VEHICLE is not subject to boarding from either side. Did that make sense? = doesn't count Space Mountain: DLR Space Mountain is never boarded from the exit. All special assistance boarding is from the left side, just like the standard boarding. This was true before the recent re-do and remains true. = doesn't count Splash Mountain: correct. You may be able to board from the left (customary is right) for several reasons. = 1 for kmsandrbs Big Thunder: Guests will load from both sides all day long, both from the standard queue (one line loads left and one loads right) and for special assistance boarding (pick wich side when you 'enter' the exit); each vehicle may be boarded from either side. = 1 point each for kmsandrbs and gaydsnywitch Pirates of the Caribbean: Standard loading is from the left; special assistance loading is from the right, so you may board from either side. = 1 point for kmsandrbs "it's a small world": Standard boarding is from both sides (one line boards L, one R), and each vehicle may end up on either side; oddly, special assistance boarding is only from the right---but no matter! = 1 point each for kmsandrbs and gaydsnywitch Indiana Jones Adventure: Standard boarding is from both sides; each vehicle can be loaded from either. Special assistance, originally designed to go through the elevators and board with the standard queue, now (if I recall) often boards from the L onto the vehicles on the L load track. = 1 point for gaydsnywitch Mad Tea Party: I'm not sure what to say. I don't know how to evaluate whether the teacups have right or left sides. = doesn't count Matterhorn: to the best of my knowledge, the bobsleds can be put on either track, and so are subject to being boarded from either side. However, this cannot be done as any sort of 'standard procedure' (there is no track switchover of that sort). Thus, on any given day, each vehicle is limited to boarding ONLY from the R or the L. = 1/2 point to gaysdnywitch because I can't decide Final score: kmsndrbs, 4 points; gaydsnywitch, 3.5 points Since we've all put so much time into it already, I'll declare kmsndrbs the 'most' correct this time. My list: 1. Horse-drawn Streetcars (you can get on from the street or from the sidewalk) 2. Pirates 3. Splash 4. Indy 5. Thunder 6. "small world" Phew! Thanks for playing! I hope everyone won't disagree with me TOO much . . . . :)
577	kmsandrbs Wed 1/11/2006 8:57p	You could add Gadget's Go-coaster (using a child swap, my wife boarded from the exit side on that one). And Star Tours ... except in my experience they will usually have you go all the way through and get in line on the main entry side. But I'm pretty sure that at least once I've seen them hold a row for guests entering from the exit side. Do the CMs stand on the opposite dock for the canoes? I can't remember. Anywho ... Name at least five attractions at the DLR that feature "glowing" eyes. This does not just mean "lit up". And guest/CM eyes don't count, even if they were glowing in your pictures!
578	Guybrush Fri 1/13/2006 5:53a	1. Haunted Mansion (raven, wallpaper, etc.) 2. Thunder Mountain (bats) 3. Indy Jones Adventure 4. Pirates of the Carribean (at the end) 5. Snow White's Scary Adventures
579	kmsandrbs Fri 1/13/2006 6:58a	Some others: Fantasmic Canal Boats + Aladdin! (COW) Matterhorn Buzz Lightyear (Zurg) You're up, Guybrush (and welcome!).
580	Guybrush Fri 1/13/2006 11:52a	Thank you! Let's see... Other than Mickey, name three hidden Disney characters that make a cameo in a DLR attraction.
