Snoop's Disney related Urban Legends

[ah schucks]

Friend of mine sent me a link to something called Snoops, apparently they compile urban legends and try to qualify them:

No surprises in most catagories but thought I would share them on here too (most of you already know these very well):


The Disney theme parks remain the most tantalizing and alluring portions of Walt Disney's legacy. We've all wondered what mysterious and exciting new attractions are being dreamt up by the Imagineers, what ideas never made it past the drawing board, and what little secrets may be hidden in existing rides. Furtive rumors about the parks are plentiful: tales of hushed-up kidnappings and deaths, private clubs, and selective admissions abound. Although the truth usually turns out to be far less exciting than the rumors, many of these stories are as beloved by Disney fans as the parks themselves.

Yeah I read that stuff years ago. I like it though . Heck my teacher showed it to us in class on the projection screen and we laughed at the little mermaid video thing and the nude woman picture in The Rescuers.

Ah yes, the urban legends are loads of fun to read.

The Skyway thing was planned by the guy, though...just another reason to sue Disneyland. Idiot. Had he not jumped out of the cabin, the ride would probably still be there.

And to my understanding, the "basketball court" is more like a half-court. But hey, still counts

Thats the only one I sorta contest, until you look at the link in the text and it tells the whole story but its sorta not right but sorta is...

AHAHAHAH with the wording of "snopes" as "snoop's" in the tittle I thought this had to do with the artist Snoop Dogg

I like snopes, it's great for all of those internet rumor e-mails that go around, and I've always liked the company ones (like Disney and coke)

Me too! And I was all over it until I saw it was about snopes.com

My hubby always calls this "snoops" and I'm always so irritated by it and find that I can't stop myself from correcting him and saying, "It's snopes." Then he can be irritated, too.

Anyway, I used to always get those stupid chain emails and reply to all with a link to the false story on Snopes but it got old quickly. I love reading through the Disney ones, though, I had no idea about most of the deaths until reading that a few months ago.

To me, it looks only as big as the key (or "the paint" as they call it now, or the "3-second zone").
