<Umm, wasn't the Matterhorn based on Third Man From the Mountain, a Disney movie from 1959 that didn't have Hayley Mills in it?>

Sorry. Wrong obscure Disney movie.

And by the way, I can't imagine the wand that 'graced' Spaceship Earth could be used for a billboard.

I know Orlando area billboards are big and gaudy, but that wand must be 200 feet high? Seems overly huge for a billboard.

Is Hayley Mills that big?

Its a coincidence, I think. A very, very funny coincidence when you read the permits that are filed.

They did say it was for a two acre plot of land though.

Any word on the aweful purple netting behind Spaceship Earth?? Will it also be going the way of the dodo when the wand leaves??? That stuff really blocks the views of Spaceship Earth from the fountain plaza.

Amen on the deep-sixing the Purple Netting.

As for the two-acre plot, Pheneix - could they be planning a preview center like the old one that existed in Ocala? Was there any kind of enclosed structure called for in the permit?

About the music, if they change it in various rides, a reason for a new Official Album. I like the double disc one because it has several of the old music themes, Tiki extra song, CoP other song. Nice.

Matterhorn is not BASED on anything. You can't call it a movie tie-in unless you can show me proof in the attraction or queue where it connects with a film.

Star Tours is BASED on Star Wars

Snow White is BASED on Snow White

Matterhorn is not based on anything. The attraction draws influences from alot of places. Primarily Walt's vacation to europe where he came up with the idea of how fun it would be to have a bobsled ride down a snowy mountain at disneyland.

The idea for the Matterhorn came to Walt during production of the movie Third Man From the Mountain. The only thing it's actually based on, if you wanna get picky about it, is the real Matterhorn.
