Half Of Our Readers Got This Magic Kingdom Trivia WRONG. Did You?

Think you know everything that there is to know about Magic Kingdom? We put our Instagram followers’ smarts to the test in our stories recently, asking some tricky trivia questions about Disney World’s flagship park!

See how many of these fun facts about Magic Kingdom you knew!

We kicked things off by asking, “Which of these is the fastest? Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, or Splash Mountain?”

This question ended up stumping many of our followers! The correct answer is Splash Mountain! Just shy of HALF of those responded guessed Space Mountain, but that final drop on Splash Mountain clocks in at a faster speed!

Space Mountain might seem faster because you’re in the dark, but that indoor roller coaster actually tops out at speeds of 35 miles per hour — and on the final drop on Splash Mountain, you’re moving at 40 miles per hour!

Next up, we asked, “Which of these has the tallest height requirement? Tomorrowland Speedway (to drive), Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad?”

Space Mountain turned out to stump a lot of our followers again! Over 50% of followers guessed Space Mountain, but the correct answer is Tomorrowland Speedway at 54 inches! Note that you must be 54″ to drive ALONE in a car — you must be 32 inches to drive a car with another guest who is at least 54 inches tall. The height requirement on Space Mountain is 44 inches tall.

Question three read, “How tall is Cinderella Castle? 169 feet, 189 feet, 199 feet, or 209 feet?”

Most of those who responded got this question correct! Cinderella Castle is 189 feet tall! It may seem a bit taller than that, thanks to the forced perspective illusion created along Main Street, U.S.A.

Up next, we asked, “Walt Disney has 2 windows. One is on the Train Station, where’s the other?” The options were the Ice Cream Parlor, Casey’s Corner, City Hall, or Town Square Theater.

The correct answer is the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor! Did you know that many of the windows along Main Street, U.S.A. include the names of prominent figures who helped make Disney World a reality? See how many you can spot on your next visit to Magic Kingdom!

The next question was, “Where can you find nods to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?” Each possible answer had two attractions! Options were Winnie the Pooh & Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Under the Sea & Winnie the Pooh, Under the Sea & Haunted Mansion, and Haunted Mansion & Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

The correct pair is Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh! Over at Under the Sea, guests can find a rock carving in the queue that resembles the Nautilus, and at Winnie the Pooh, you can spot a Nautilus carving in the Tree House! There are nods to the original 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction at Haunted Mansion in Disneyland, but remember that this was a Magic Kingdom quiz!

Up next was another trick question! We asked “Which of these is NOT the name of a steam engine on the Walt Disney World Railroad?” The four options were Walter E. Disney, Roy E. Disney, Roger E. Broggie, and The Lilly Belle.

The steam engine that does NOT exist is the Roy E. Disney! You would have to be very savvy and pay super close attention to get this question right! Remember that the correct name is Roy O. Disney, not E! There is, of course, a steam engine named Roy O. Disney. Most who responded guessed Roger E. Broggie — Roger was considered to be Walt Disney’s first Imagineer!

The next question asked, “Which of these is NOT an opening day attraction?” The four options were Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Dumbo!

The correct answer is Pirates of the Caribbean! The vast majority of those who took the quiz got this question correct! While the other three attractions opened on October 1st, 1971, Pirates of the Caribbean didn’t join the park for over two years! The ride opened on December 15th, 1973.

The next question asked, “How many flavors of dairy-free Dole Whip are there right now?” The options to choose from were 2, 3, 4, or 5 flavors.

The correct answer is a whopping FOUR flavors! The classic Pineapple flavor is dairy-free, as well as Orange, Lime, and Raspberry.

The next question we asked followers on Instagram was, “What’s the oldest vehicle in the park?” The possible answers were The Roy O. Disney engine, The Carousel, the PeopleMover, and The Liberty Square Riverboat.

The correct answer is the Roy O. Disney engine! We’re back to talk about trains!! The steam engines used along the Walt Disney World Railroad were originally built in 1916 — making the Roy O. Disney engine over one hundred years old!

Finally, the last question asked, “What’s the barbershop on Main Street, U.S.A. called?” The four options were Main Street Cutters, Mickey’s Hair Dos, Magic Barbershop, and Harmony Barbershop!

The correct answer is Harmony Barbershop! When open, the barbershop offers haircuts for both kids and adults! Our followers were total pros on this question and most of you got it correct!
