Why not just give it to oki? He got the answer in first, AND he did the leg work for the easy ones.

Whoa. Quite a few posts came in when I was typing that one.
I'll give the question to Oki, though. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
I missed it here.

Who are they, and how are they connected?

Er...That may be a bit much. There could be millions of people with those initials and there must be millions of combinations that they could be put in.

I'm going to say someone else post a question..my brain is fried and that one is too hard. The answers are

ron valentine toomer

walter elias disney

lamarcus adna thompson

And they are all related in that they all helped the theme park and rollercoaster in some way.

Ron Valentine Toomer is a Roller Coaster designer, Walter Elias Disney is Walt Disney, who brought theme parks to new fame and popularity, as well as size and imagination. Lamarcus Adna Thompson patented the first roller coaster in 1885.

OK, I've got an infuriating one. Not impossible, especially since there are a lot of music nerds here, but it was ticking me off.

What song is this? Who is it by, and for bonus points, can you name at least one place it's been featured?

Ah, Okiphia. I went to bed, and while in there I was thinking "It probably has something to do with a theme park..."

Awww, don't tell me this is too hard for you people!!!

Tell you what. Since nobody seems to be able to get that song, let's call it a "bonus question" and leave it open for any brave soul who wants to have a go at it. And in it's place, here's an easy one (honest!):

The middle one is an insult to my intelligence.
That is Doctor John Zoidberg, the Decapodian from the mud-planet Decapod 10.

No, but he is on the Simpsons (or rather, was on the Simpsons, I don't think he's coming back in that particular form). And the bottom one's dad might be an insult to Bugs Bunny; you'd have to ask Mr Groening!

If you're going to cheat, at least make it sound legitimate.
Jeffal Bertson?
How about Jeff Albertson, m'kay?

I remember the bottom one from something but I can't quite remember what.

Edit: After some research on Matt Groening, I found that that is Bongo, the illegitimate son of Binky.

Worst. Cheating. Ever.

But Arotos is right on Number Three, two! So that leaves Number One. Who's the Number One guy in this mix? Think carefully!

Nope. Here's a hint: he loves cash registers and the 2nd Amendment.
