Call this a companion thread to Did You Know? The purpose of this thread is to post questions about amusement parks that you don't know the answer to, with the hopes that someone on here can answer them for you. Think of obscure trivia, uncommon facts, etc., that you don't know the answer to. In this thread, we try and increase everyone's trivia knowledge about our favorite subject, parks.

I'll try and monitor this thread to keep all the questions in one post directly below this one... answers will be in the thread.
