Hoadley Hide 2004, Stunt 25 Happy Ending 9 - 12/4/2004

The theme this year was Ghosts. Trying to avoid the obvious stunt themes like Ghost Busters, Pacman and Pirates, we chose Disney. Heathmont are renoun for choosing themes off on a tangent, but this avoids doubling up the theme with another stunt. Read on to find out how Walt Disney releates to Ghosts.
The staff

It is the year 1966. Walt Disney has died and been cryogenically frozen. As his ghost left this world, so did the magic of Disneyland. Your task is to make your way through Disneyland and discover the secret to return the magic. You will be given a cup of liquid by your tour guide. Be careful not to prematurely spill any, as you will need as much as you can carry for a happy ending.

After reading the description, the venturers are each given a cup of green liquid. They are not told what it is, as it will all become clear as they go through the stunt.

Cups of liquid, get your cups of liquid

Goofy has the instructions to return the magic to Disneyland but has managed to get them all muddled up. Give him a hand to put the puzzle back to together to find out how to create a happy ending.

Here the venturers are given a collection of wooden blocks, that they need to arrange correctly, just like a jigsaw puzzle. When assembled, the text reads:

Its Opposite Day!

• Fill out from Warner Brothers
• It isn't pro boil
• Find off others, it tickles

The venturers need to reverse each of the words (except 'it') to decode the message. This tells them what they need to do with the liquid. The decoded message is:

• Empty in to Walt Disney
• It is anti freeze
• Loose on yourself it hurts

Heathmont Venturers decoding the message

Donald found the precious liquid and went for a swim in it. It has become contaminated and needs to be filtered to make it work. Fenton "GizmoDuck" Crackshell started to build a filtration system, but he never got it finished. Help Fenton finish the filtration system, so that your fluid will do its job properly. Be careful you don't waste too much in testing!

In this section of the stunt, the venturers had to connect up the pipes to the outlets of the box (filtration system), to allow the water to flow through, and out the tap at the bottom. There was more than one solution to this problem, but lots of dead ends. Many teams lost a lot of water at this section of the stunt.

One team that got through with almost all their water

Proof it works

Welcome to Pluto's junkyard. Since people stopped coming to Disneyland, Pluto has been making a mess in the small world ride. Team leaders must help their team to carry their fluid through the mess. Luckily Pluto left a trail for you to follow. Unfortunately, all the light globes have blown, and there is only one torch.

Our stunt had a 'canyon' through the middle, which was where the rope was run for the venturers to follow. This section was attempting to show the leadership skills of the team leader. Following the rope with all of the obsticals was not easy, with many spilling large amounts of their liquid.

Trying not to spill

Congratulations! You have made your way through Disneyland. Follow the instructions Goofy left for you to create your happy ending. Hope you had enough anti-freeze in reserve!

This is the final part of the stunt. Here the venturers need to pour their liquid (anti freeze) into the funnel at the top of walt disney, which flows through and collects into a cylinder at the base. This cylinder has markings showing how alive Walt Disney becomes, from the amount of anti freeze the team preserved. The tap at the bottom empties the cylinder into the bucket, so the water can be reused.
