[MarkBarrett]

Long John Silver
I have visited the attraction at Disneyland (Like the Enchanted Tiki Room I did not always have a choice.)

[TenPoundHammer]

I've seen part of Amadeus.

[seaborgium]

I got spoiled on It's a Small World, but I don't see myself missing that.

[Volante]

Fri - Kamchatka

Have (and have seen) Amadeus.

FJ streak stopped at 24.

[davey]

Never came close to a Mormon on Tuesday - I would have had no problem choosing which one if I hadn't missed that path entirely...
I'm taking the word of another poster that Irkutsk is in Risk, since I've never played it...
Would not have gotten Uppsala even with more time...

[nlw44]

I've seen parts of "Amadeus," not the whole movie. But I've got Oscar-winning movies, actors, actresses, and directors down cold, along with enough associated bits to know what movie and what character they were referencing.

Never been to Disneyland, or Disney World for that matter, but honestly, that was in no way a roadblock to getting the answer.

[Leander]

Never been to Disneyland, but was familiar with the NY Worlds Fair attraction-my only doubt on Monday was whether they had exactly the same name.

Have seen Amadeus, would not have gotten the answer otherwise.

[Plactus]

Tuesday I was able to do the math and figure the guy had children with a lot of different women. I was unable to work from there to polygamy and/or Mormons, so Young never crossed my mind. I forget who I said, but it was pretty much just throwing out a name from the right era and hoping.
Friday all the Russian cities I could think of were in western Russia, so I said Kamchatka to have something.

Have not seen Amadeus.

[econgator]

Long John Silver on Th, Sevastopol on F.
Stupidly said Utrecht instead of Uppsala
Have ridden Small World literally dozens of times
Have seen Amadeus

[dinghammer]

(I assume the second bonus question is supposed to be "Bonnie Prince Charlie's defeat in the 1746 Battle of Culloden Moor in this country ended hopes of a Stuart restoration")




My first 5/5 since I registered.

[MarkBarrett]

(I assume the second bonus question is supposed to be "Bonnie Prince Charlie's defeat in the 1746 Battle of Culloden Moor in this country ended hopes of a Stuart restoration")

Yes. Bad cut/paste. It's fixed now. Thanks.

[9021amyers]

Perfect on FJ, 2/3 on the bonus clues: I said "Ullevi" on the Swedish clue, which is the name of the big soccer stadium in Gothenburg.

I've ridden "It's a Small World;" I have not watched the movie Amadeus, but I did read the play in a high school drama class.

[zakharov]

It finally happened. The Box of Shame.

I rode IASW once as a small child and can't tell you anything about it other than that the song is incredibly annoying.

No defense on Brigham Young, just didn't make the connection.

I thought of Amadeus but didn't come up with Salieri in time. The name wasn't coming to me.

I had Sherlock Holmes, whoops.

"The really long Russian city name that starts with V. God dammit."

[BigDaddyMatty]

I keyed in on the word "Moor" in the Bonnie Prince Charlie question and negged with Spain
I have ridden "It's A Small World" at Disneyland a couple of times
I have seen part of Amadeus, but not enough to check the box

[IronNeck]

This week, it was an oversized, malevolent rodent that prevented me from getting my first 5/5.

[MinnesotaMyron]

This week, it was an oversized, malevolent rodent that prevented me from getting my first 5/5.

The Giant Rat of Sumatra, perhaps?

[MitchO]

Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist.

[mxc_takeshi]

I saw the World's Fair part and thought of the Unisphere, even though it's in Queens.

I couldn't think of any character, but I probably would have guessed Sherlock Holmes over Watson.

I said Ulm (wrong country).

I have seen "Amadeus".

[ElendilPickle]

Not bad.

I've seen Amadeus and ridden It's A Small World.
