Kailash: Trail of the Sherpa (Himalayan Rolller Coaster)
Now that I can see the images (thanks for that), I'm really impressed by your attention to detail. You have a unique building style that is different from everybody else here. 👍

The station really gives this coaster a classy (and classic) look!

Hoo boy. Time to make a fool of myself again. I would've thought that all of those rivers were fairly shallow... evidently not. In honor of the color of the text, I will make a blue-sky guess and say A: Congo River, only because I know practically nothing about the Congo.

Wonder World
Considering Mr Wonder's aversion to the "D" word, I'm surprised he can tolerate the presence of Walt Disney's Head. But then again, without WDH the video would be a lot less humorous. Yes, Mr. Wonder is humorous, but he wouldn't think so. Therein lies the humor. Thanks for the video, shyguy.

Lafitte Landing
Looks like a place I would want to eat at, well themed and casual. I'd better bring my checkbook though ($15.99 ?!?! Is that the going rate for a theme park burger these days?) The image with all the umbrella tables is giving me Casa De Fritos, Disneyland vibes. Wonderful mood and atmosphere in the nighttime shot.

I agree with citytrader that the Rhine River Valley is too developed to be 'natural'. But cinder cones are a dime a dozen. So I'm gonna say A: The Amazon River watershed

What is your funniest theme park memory?
In 1975, my brothers and I were eating lunch in the Blue Bayou restaurant in Disneyland (Monte Cristos!). As we were sitting at our table looking at all the bayou theming I looked up at the ceiling, which was textured plaster/cement, painted black, and saw a bird fly overhead next to the ceiling. It was traveling in a straight line, heading toward the bayou, in a rhythmical swooping/dipping motion, flapping its wings occasionally to regain altitude. A couple minutes later I saw the same bird in the same spot flying overhead again. Then again... and again. I finally concluded that this must be an animatronic bird; part of the theming! To this day I don't know for sure if it was real or animatronic. I'm hoping it was the latter because that would be an excellent example of Imagineering! Has anybody else seen that bird?

Wonder World
Ha! Was that an actual AI re-creation of Walt's voice? Sometimes it sounded a lot like him, other times... not so much. I didn't realize Wanda had a cockney accent. Stands to reason, since she's Mr. Wonder's sister. And wow! I didn't realize Walt Disney's Head had such god-like powers! Awaiting the next serious episode of "- - - D - - WOR - D"... I mean, "WONDER WORLD". -Sincerely; Subscriber #11.

Argh! Ask me something I know! NYC ball drop: I'm gonna say C: 1921 because it sounds like a "Roaring '20s" thing. Filmmaker: C: George Lucas. Only because "American Graffiti" featured some street racing. I may change my answers to whatever citytrader's answers are, because he always seems to get the questions correct.

Trivia Bowl
Totally guessing again. For the 1st one: I'm tempted to say "real cookies", but that would get quite messy and the crumbs would probably attract insects and vermin. So I'll say B: Styrofoam For #2: C: The 1995 Super Bowl. Seems like it's the biggest TV event and always gets the most attention.

Hmmmmmmm... When did Pee-wee first appear? And how long was the Dating Game on the air? Did the two overlap? Seems like if Paul Reubens answered the questions (behind the partition) as Pee-wee, wouldn't the gal know it was him? Maybe he answered as himself. Or maybe he didn't answer at all because he was never on the show. A: None
