Sorry. Wrong obscure Disney movie.

Fri 6/15/2007 10:20a | 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? |

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

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? |

Fri 6/15/2007 1:53p | 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. |

Fri 6/15/2007 1:56p | 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.
