What famous sci-fi, horror, and mystery author conceived the original storyline for Spaceship Earth, as well as writing the original script for the attraction? |

No, but I wrote a paper on " The Lottery" years ago. That book haunted me for a while! It's a male author, who did most of his work during the same years as Jackson. |

Which Disney park does not have It's a Small World?
I could only think of Jackson, Bradbury & Pratchett, so glad it was one of those 3. |

I think I'll take a stab at guessing the newest one, in Shanghai? |

What country ironically wasn't represented in the original It's a Small World attraction at the '64 World's Fair? |

Ooh, I like this kind of trivia!
Could it be one of the railroad engines?
The USA wasn't added to Small World at DL until the 2014 controversial refurb, when dozens of Disney characters were also added to the attraction. As patriotic as Walt was, I can't believe it was done this way for any other reason than to show the majority of the riders, who would be american, a little slice of the rest of the world. I'm just guessing, though. |

That guess on small world sounds good to me.
As far as the railroad engine, nope. This item is not as long as that but it is approximately 10ft tall. |

How about the Omnibus? Think that might be more than 10' tall, but it seems like a reasonable guess! |
