10:28 - The reason Mr. Toad went to hell is because Walt felt Toad's recklessness was without consequence. He didn't want the ride encouraging bad behaviour. Disney historian Jim Korkis wrote about this in one of his "Vault of Walt" books. The only thing I can find online is a conversation that former imagineer Bob Rogers had with Korkis: "Some attractions tell cautionary tales. For instance, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was a cautionary tale. It basically said that if you were reckless as a driver, you were going to Hell. It was that simple."

Mr. Toad's Hell scene always made sense when it was explained to me by a cast member. "It's a simple morality tale! Steal cars, taunt cops, break out of jail, drive recklessly, die, end up in Hell! It's what you deserve!" Seen in the light that Disney is teaching you not to do this stuff or you face eternal consequences makes sense. Especially when you think back to the horrific Lampwick turns into a donkey scene in Pinocchio.

Ummm, OK, first, I actually love your videos. But, I feel I have to point out that Hong Kong's Mystic Manor also has a completely different back story. According to Walt Disney Imagineer Mark Schirmer, the Executive Creative Director of Mystic Manor along with Mystic Point: Both Mystic Point and Mystic Manor share a common story. One does not exist without the other as they were all created, as the story goes, by the eccentric explorer Lord Henry Mystic. It’s a name unfamiliar to fans, new to the Disney universe. But anyone who steps foot onto the grounds created for him at Hong Kong Disneyland will quickly become acquainted with him - and his curious little monkey. Schirmer said it all started when Imagineers decided on the topic of world travel and exploration. “I think that set the stage for us to go forward and really get into the backstory of Mystic Point. Using that, obviously developing the character Lord Henry Mystic, […] and setting it back in 1908, is the essence where we’re taking you back,” explained Schirmer. From there, the backstory of Mystic Point was developed, as Schirmer tells it: On one of his expeditions he basically fell in love with this location - this uncharted tropical wilderness - and wanted to stake his claim, make his home there. So he cleared out part of the jungle along the river bank and built this Victorian manor. He’s obviously a well to-do British gentleman and he wanted a little bit of home in this tropical wilderness. He started with the essence of a Victorian manor but of course wanted to embellish it with all the different places that he’s been. So it’s this eclectic Victorian manor sitting in this cleared out jungle along the river. While he was there, that’s where he met and actually rescued his traveling companion, a young monkey that he named Albert, after one of his beloved uncles. Between finding this location and meeting his now lifelong pal and companion Albert, this is really the essence of Mystic Point. Continuing that idea through, we wanted to tell the story about his collection. Anyone willing to make this hard journey and stumble on or find Mystic Point, he - being kind of a philanthropic character - wanted to open the doors of his home to showcase his collection. And that’s what guests are coming to Mystic Point for, to showcase and be able to view the collection and also meet Lord Henry and Albert.

If y'all want a more in-depth backstory for Phantom Manor, (which I guess most of you already know but I'm lookin' out for the newbies here) this is it: During the mid-1840s, Henry Ravenswood discovers gold in Bug Thunder Mountain. He sets up a small mining company called the Big Thunder Mining Co. Eventually, a boomtown grows around Big Thunder Mountain, called Thunder Mesa. Henry marries and has a daughter named Melonie. Melonie grows up to be a beautiful young woman. Multiple men get engaged to Melonie, but Henry disapproves of the relationship. Mysteriously, all of these suitors disappear. Turns out, Henry killed all of Melonie's suitors in various gruesome ways. The gold in BTM was growing scarce, forcing miners to dig deeper into the mountain. Natives warned Henry about the thunderbird, a spirit who lived deep within BTM, whose power could be materialized in a terrible earthquake. Henry did not believe in these stories. Melonie eventually got engaged to a train engineer, named Jake. Jake promised Melonie that he'd take her far away from the gloom of Thunder Mesa, much to the dismay of her father. However, Henry and his wife, along with many others in Thunder Mesa were killed in a terrible earthquake. Could it be that the thunderbird had been reawakened? No matter, as a few years later and Melonie's wedding day arrived. Whilst preparing in her room, a mysterious phantom, unbeknownst to anyone. He lured Jake up to the attic and hanged him by the rafters. Melonie sat alone, waiting for her groom. Hours went by, and guests slowly left, leaving Melonie alone with the house staff. Melonie kept telling herself that her groom would return someday. So she never took off her dress or dropped her bouquet. She wandered the house, singing songs of love. Meanwhile, the phantom invited his demonic, ghostly friends to enter the house in an eternal party. It's not known if Melonie is still alive, but sometimes, during the middle of the night, you can hear Melonie singing, the phantom's laugh, and see flickering lights.

I remember when my family would go to Disneyland back in the late 1960s, while my Marine father was stationed at Camp Pendleton and deployed twice to Vietnam. They used to have "Camp Pendleton Nights" when the park would be open all night for military personnel and their dependents for a reduced price, and not having to deal with the old A-E ticket system. I had forgotten how the Haunted Mansion loomed over the park, silently mocking us while not yet open, with the caption on the the big foldout map of "Future Attraction". It finally opened two months after my dad was transferred to to the Pentagon. As a result, we didn't have a chance to enjoy it until our first to Walt Disney World years later. (Same thing for Space Mountain.)

Ken Anderson and Claude Coats intended for Mr. Toad to get sent to Hell as consequence for his bad choices but then be redeemed to heaven. However, many of the people who they had test the ride before opening didn’t like that Disney depicted heaven in a ride. So, they cut that part out of the ride having you instead escape to Fantasyland. Not exactly as clear as the original intent, but that’s what we got. Haha! You can find the story in Paul Anderson’s book about Ken and we recently covered it in a video on our channel about Ken’s dark rides. :-)

Regarding Mr Toad's Wild Ride. When Disney was a boy cars were new and they were demonized as dangerous new age contraptions. At 17 he was driving an ambulance over seas during world war one.Later in the 50's he made a Goofy cartoon where Goofy gets motor mania and turns maniacal whenever he gets behind the wheel. I think Disney was sending a message, drive safely or you will go to hell.
