I’m so happy to have found your channel!!

I chased her when I saw her at Disneyland I needed to get a picture she’s my favourite ❤

Very Intresting

Excellent video as always. Seems like Disney should have used their own IP rather than the Stones or Aerosmith

Nice piece. FYI… Ollie’s wife was Marie. Not Mary. They are pronounced differently. Also, the name Chouinard, as in the Chouinard Art Institute, is typically pronounced "shoo-NARD" (rhyming with "card"). It can also be pronounced "shwee-NARD", particularly if leaning toward a more French-influenced pronunciation. Both "shoo-NARD" and "shwee-NARD" are commonly accepted, though the former is often used in an American context.

Powerline is such a missed opportunity in the parks, just make a stage show and put him in parades it wouldn’t cost that much

I would reserve to order just water, could you do that?

Incredible content! Surprised you don't get more likes for the quality shown. Great video :)

Another awesome documentary :) Thanks

This content deserves way more views. Currently 4 vids into a binge lol.

Another excellent video! Thank you. Looking forward to the 4th.

@12:10 ?????

I’m on my third video and I gotta say, great content! Thank you for your hard work.

Oh how we miss you, Walt & company.

19:07 correction: it's actually 11 miles per hour faster than space mountain since the florida space mountain has a top speed of 28 miles per hour speaking of space mountain, it's turning 50 years old pretty soon

Cruella is a character you love to hate but still love.....

This was great, ONLY 38 comments after a year. Come on people. When I was a little kid, I rode on Pirates the first week it was open and still ride it to this day with my grandson. Fun Times

Inspiration for the original Tower of Terror in Orlando: 1) “Hollywood Tower” apartment building in Hollywood 2) “Mission Inn” Resort in Riverside, CA 3) “Biltmore Hotel” (for the interior lobby)downtown Los Angeles

NO GOVERNORS!?!?!?!?

Born in 1960 Los Angeles, I was taken to the Merry Go Round in Griffith Park, Beverly Park/Kiddieland and Knott's Berry Farm, and Knott's was the first amusement park with Gasoline Powered cars on a enclosed track, They were in the style of a "Model T" and made of metal, you could get on the gas to a point and then the governor would kick in and bog down, you'd go around a I'm imagining a dirt course enclosure with metal railings on both sides, there were people stationed around the course for safety reasons and when you came close to the end of your ride one would jump on the running board and operate the car up to the queue, there was a throttle control on the side of the engine cowling and they would take control of the steering wheel. It ran outside of the park itself in what is now the parking lot along Beach Bl. across from Independence Hall. Good Times ✌️

This guy sounds like Alf

@21:58 Don DeFore created the "Silver Banjo BBQ" restaurant from 1957-1961 at the former Fritos shop. Don was a great friend of Walt's. Source: "Disneyland The Nickle Tour" book (written and published by my great Imagineer friends David Mumford and Bruce Gordon).

Man the Mk7’s in the 90s were the ones I grew up with . So much better than the new ones . I remember thinking back then that they just didn’t look good . Other than the cool “color changing paint” they had at first . At least i think 🤔 they did. Fact check that . 😂

When your talking about how long it takes to get attractions built today and it was so quick back then. Today I would say it’s an act of congress to get anything built with permitting, inspections, zoning requirements and a board of directors for everything. The newest Autopia cars are just ugly 🤮. The orginal design was the best! That style 👍🏻 So my question is: the original cars steering was it easy to steer? At Disney world the Tomorrowland raceway steering is the pits! I feel like I’m 5 years old driving those lol! Not been to Disneyland how do those steer? Great video really enjoyed it!

I love Aerosmith so much I’m so sad for the change :(

I just came across your channel today and I have been binge watching for the past few hours! This is one of the best Polynesian Resort videos I have ever seen. It’s my favorite resort. I was just there a few weeks ago. You have a great channel. I hope you gain a ton more subscribers. You deserve it. Great job man.

I made it through Richfield Autopia, Chevron Autopia and Honda Autopia. What's next ??? LOL

Beautiful page. I will subscribe once you start posting some more unique content. I look forward to that happening because I see a successful future on here ahead for you.

So who voiced the Pharaoh? 😎 17:48

Thank you for this! Autopia is my absolute favorite Disney attraction alongside the Tomorrowland Speedway! (I’m insane) 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️

realistically, they could do an electric vehicle and make the loading station the recharge point. With some engineering, they could create a slot a probe drops into that charges the battery of each car without exposing passengers to the electric current. Alternatively, they could redesign the guide rail all together. Sure, ti would be a little thicket, but if you redesign the guides under the cars to always maintain contact with the track, you could hide power points underneath the track. You'd only need batteries in the car to maintain power for the various times a complete circuit may break (potentially up to 50% of the time the vehicle is moving.)

Maelstrom was my favorite Epcot ride! Luckily they did a good job changing it to Fe-Maelstrom, er, “Frozen”…… So I still enjoy the ride…. And all the female cast members are good looking for some reason 🤔

Note: Trying to find the Autopia Jr in Marcelen is confusing, since Google maps has pictures of the map before it was installed.

I grew up with Chevron Autopia! I loved the little Chevron car screens in the queue. Fond memories ☺️

I still can't believe they eliminated one of the rails for the Viewliner and then sold the attraction as the sleek new futuristic monorail - just so Mickey could get a bigger bonus🙄

💯💯

20:01 Man, every video you make surprises with the level of detail you go to… I mean no one is out here finding out who provided the neon signs for the Richfield sign. Great work and keep it up!

Not just The Muppets…The Electric Mayhem and it’s a pretty clever fit. Too bad they didn’t promote the show more. Although, I have to say The Rolling Stones would have been epic. Pretty sure the royalties would have been money well spent. Mick and Keith are no dummies when it comes to business

This was a well researched, thoughtful look into what I believe to be the most beautiful and unique of the Disney park icons. Great job!

❤

And one of the worst coasters on earth. I got a season pass I go to the parks all the time this ride makes me depressed. Fuck retheming knock this shitty coaster down and try again Disney. If Disney actually makes a decent thrill ride I’ll die 😂😂 And I swear if one person comments saying Disney is for kids I’ll remind you the kids aren’t paying 200$ a day to go give adults SOMETHING those are the people spending endless amount of money in your parks not the kids. That’s why universal is gonna smash Disney.

What I wouldn’t give to be held in the fishing village just one more time …

I actually got to visit the VIP space during EPCOT30 (Comuunicore Weekly Podcast event/live podcast recording) and EPCOT35 as a stop on D23’s progressive dinner (w. Various WDI luminaries). I’ve got photos … somewhere …

Huge EPCOT Center fan here, how’ve I never come across your channel before? Great video, will certainly check out more of your work.

The 4-5Gs is actually vertical Gs on the first inversion, not the acceleration of the launch. That usually is only around 1.5Gs at best (The ride’s acceleration is not linear, it kicks hard then tapers off) Not even the strongest accelerating coaster launches ever made have hit 4-5Gs. For reference Dododonpa’s insane 0-112mph in 1.56 seconds produced ~3.5Gs of acceleration

Do a documentary on Flight of Passage!

Great video! Just one thing- 19:47 the ride actually uses a linear induction motor (LIM) launch system, rather than a linear synchronous motor (LSM) one. LIMs and LSMs are very similar, and they are both types of linear motor electromagnetic technology used to launch rollercoasters. The difference is that LIMs are the older and less refined system, launching trains using a "pulsing" of electromagnets, which is what causes the "shaking" or "rattling" of the train back and forth during the launch (because of the constant attraction and repulsion). LSMs (think of the system on Tron and Hagrid's in Universal) are the newer, more precise, and smoother version of LIMs, which allow for more control of exact launch speed for each specific train. Both are incredibly durable and reliable launch systems, they just differ ever so slightly in the way the magnets are powered. The system you described in the video is the LIM system, you just called it the wrong name. No biggie though, the systems accomplish the same thing in *almost* the same way :D

Im sorry to fact check you here but it wasn't disneys first inversion thrill ride, two opened in paris before rock n rollercoaster (Indiana Jones and space mountain)

Cannot begin to list the inaccuracies in this video. Clearly half assed researched. “This library is called Echo but I couldn’t name you any other part of the building that used the same naming conventions because I don’t care to look it up”
