It's 77 feet from the floor to the top of the lift hill.

2) How tall is the biggest drop on Space Mountain?

18 feet?

Very close The tallest drop on both sides of Space Mountain is 23 feet. That's it

5) What is the "grade" of the Walt Disney World Railroad between the (new) Fantasyland station and Main Street USA?

Not 100% sure, but... 2%?

Correct The Walt Disney World Railroad tracks rise 2 feet for every 100 feet of length of track. It is indeed an uphill climb from Fantasyland to Main Street, USA. Had plenty of battles with trains on tracks right after it rained...LOL

I heard that the fifth engine they tried on the track couldn't even make it at all?

Hey what about #3?

Well...actually, we never "officially" had a fifth engine. We did *purchase* five locomotives originally, but the "original" fifth one was so badly rusted, it literally fell apart as they attempted to remove it from where it stood (on a pedestal in a park in Mexico). They did end up keeping *some* parts, but sold the rest for scrap.

Then, years later, we acquired "another" "fifth" engine (early 1980s). This one, however, never even made a run around the park; it was too small to pull the heavier coaches than what Disneyland has.

Hey what about #3?

#3 was answered correctly - by you

Space Mountain - 180'
Cinderella's Castle - 183'
BTMRR - 197'
Tower of Terror - 199'
Expedition:Everest - 199 1/2'. <--- Why is it "only" 199 1/2' and not an even 200'?

Very informative!

Any structure 200ft+ would require aircraft warning lights.

[Elias1901]

Haha, that's interesting enough!
