    Now the rant: last time I was at Disneyland (August), the Mint Julep Bar "ran out" of juleps--but we were invited to go into the French Market to get one. ! Excuse me? I'M supposed to go around and wait in line, when the French Market and MJB service areas are CONNECTED BY A DOORWAY!!!???? Service standards are so sad and sorry these days--nothing like when I worked at the Park a decade ago. So, so sad.

    Hint: think about the various versions of each attraction, and what things each has in common or is different between the various versions of the attraction.

    (By the way, I was referring to how you load Peter Pan's Flight as they can be seen from Fantasyland, thus 'leaving the building'.) :)

    Let's look for information:

    Peter Pan's Flight. At Disneyland, single-row boats, come to a complete stop at unload and load. Lap bars. At MK, don't come to a complete stop for load/unload. Lap bars.

    Jungle Cruise. Pretty much the same load/unload and mechanics everywhere, no?

    Splash. DLR: tandem seating, 6-person logs. Two load at once. Come to a complete stop. No restraints. MK: same, except logs are 4 rows for two people each.

    Mansion. DLR: continuously moving doom buggies; unload separate from load, and cannot be seen from load. MK: same, no?

    So I can't think of anything else that may be it.

Although the DL/WDW Splash Mountains are quite similar, they do differ in places (like the mini drop into the Laughing Place after the scene with the bees in WDW). The TDL version is also different, as it was designed to fit in a different shape space. However, DL's HM and DLP's Phantom Manner and the TDL and WDW each use the same track. I'll let Mono get it, since he was the one to pick HM out in the first place.
