YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS | 5 Historic Disneyland Oddities

[@Jerrybu57]

I was born in 57 and my Dad worked for United Airlines. For my birthday one year we took the helicopter to Disneyland! So cool and a great memory!

[@Lbrisbois2000]

Wow! That is an incredible memory!

[@ckbarry]

That’s such a great memory. Thanks for sharing.

Really interesting it is one of a kind experiences,especially when you had your birthday!

[@JeremyRossiter23]

my Grandpa passed away on Tuesday morning, he was a imagineer for Disney for 35 years i imagine a lot of his designs and inventions are in there, his name is Marc Miller. if you've seen the tombstones in the haunted mansion ride, you've seen his name. he was an amazing man.

[@ashlynok5771]

I’m so sorry for your loss. We are so grateful for your grandfathers contribution towards the magic❤

I rode Rainbow Ridge Mine Train once at age 4 in 1976. In the early 1980’s when I was 9 or 10 my dad brought home a Disneyland 25th Anniversary coffee table book. It featured 2 pictures of “Nature’s Wonderland” (the bears and the cabin on fire) I immediately asked my dad “hey dad you remember a nature ride of some sort? It was maybe tucked away somewhere around where Bear Country is? We rode a train?” My dad shut me down telling me I was probably thinking of the Disneyland Railroad and the cabin was what you saw doing the Indian canoes. Well, dad. We were both right, I’m just grateful that I had parents who ferried me from Fremont, CA all the way to Anaheim. Especially since they were very young parents who scrimped and saved bigtime in those early years and we rode all the E ticket rides on that trip.

[@Pab-B]

Fun Fact: If I dug a tunnel to Disneyland (256 mi away) at 5 feet per day, in roughly 750 years my great, great, etc descendant would pop up out of the ground in TomorrowLand and it STILL wouldn't have a People Mover.

[@bryanwalton7528]

Hey Brickey, I recently discovered your very informative KZbin channel on Disneyland. I was a Disneyland cast member from1 1978-1983. In your video titled “YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS | 5 Historic Disneyland Oddities” you featured two shops inside the Park where guests could purchase tobacco products, including cigarettes. As a Fantasyland Merchandise Host I was occasionally scheduled to work a shift in a third location that sold cigarettes on the DL. That was Arts and Crafts shop inside Sleeping Beauty Castle on the left immediately after crossing the drawbridge. The other mystery I’m happy to be able to clear up for you is the precise location where Teresa Salcedo was born at 5:29pm on July 4th 1979. The details were revealed in the July 9, 1979 issue of Disneyland Line: Note that the article says “Mrs. Salcedo reclined on a bench behind the Plaza Inn. “ This refers to a location backstage and not to any onstage place. Certainly at 5:30pm on one of the busiest days of the year there would be no suitable place on the Hub and all the benches would be occupied. The true location of the baby-birthing bench was against the wall of the Adventure thru Inner Space show building about midway between the gate leading oand the Inn Between on the other. I can personally attest to this because i was an eye-witness to the birth. I was returning from my dinner break when I happened upon the scene. I thought that discretion forbade me from tarrying so i hurried by. Over the years, a bit of sloppy journalism and imprecise writing gave the impression that Teresa was born in the Plaza. This passage from WDW Magazine illustrates loss and interpolation: “The first birth at a Disney property took place on July 4, 1979. Rosa and Elias Salcedo visited Disneyland 44 years ago to celebrate the 4th of July holiday. Rosa was expecting but still planned to enjoy the day in the Park with her husband experiencing all that Disneyland has to offer. The couple was riding the Submarine Voyage attraction in Tomorrowland when Rosa began feeling sharp pains. By the time the ride was over, her pain had worsened. She moved to a bench nearby the Plaza Inn while Elias called for help. Disney Cast Members, including the Park's paramedic team and medical staff from First Aid, arrived to evaluate Rosa's condition, but by this point, it was clear she was in labor. Without time to move, Rosa, the first Disneyland baby, was born in the center of the Park on Main Street, U.S.A.” (www.wdw-magazine.com/disney-history-disneyland-baby/) I hope you found this helpful Best regards , Bryan Walton

I have heard most disneyland stories but these were all new!! 🤯 great work Brickey!!

[@kingk108]

[@markschoenberger8485]

As a child in the 1960's I lived in the flight path of those helicopters from Disneyland to LAX. There were several going back and forth every day. Yes, I remember as an elementary school child hearing about the crashes and then the sky grew quiet of the constant helicopter traffic. As an aside, this was also the times before we learned what a Smog Alert was. We would be out playing and wonder why it hurt to breath.

[@DukeCityExplorer]

Anytime an animatronic dies, it's given an animatronic funeral... 😂

[@OCTim54]

Back during that era Tom Sawyer's was the best. You could run wild on the island. Fort Wilderness was so cool. The tree house the caves and various barrel rope bridges.

[@alfredgeorge3186]

You could also buy large pickles and lemonade on that island...in the fort.

[@elizabethl6187]

As a kid, it was a relief to take a break from the long-lines-and-rides format. I could walk through the cave backwards, if I wanted. We could climb on anything we wanted, pretty much.

[@davemoreau603]

I remember going to Disneyland and seeing people rock climbing the Matterhorn. This was n the 80’s. We need to see a video on that.

[@moonglow630]

Oh ya. People in the 70’s & 80’s used to routinely climb the Matterhorn. Have seen it in person on multiple occasions.

[@ColeWalker]

The Rainbow Ridge animatronic burial story is completely false. When they dug up that area for Galaxy’s Edge the only things found were molds from the Jungle Cruise

[@brianwisdom8051]

You nailed it again Brickey! I’m too young to have seen the gun store, but I remember when you could buy toy flintlock pistols and rifles in Frontierland and the Pieces of Eight. The marina at the hotel was one of my favorite periods. A lot of good times there. I don’t think they have animatronic figures buried near BTMRR, as most of them were reused on the river and in Big Thunder, but either way, the story makes some interesting folklore. Thank you again for bringing a unique perspective on Disneyland!

[@martinblevins9442]

I was a scuba diver at the park for 31 years. I can't speak to animation Buried in big thunder trail, However I can assure you they weren't thrown in the river! LOL!

[@jamieknight326]

Wow. Thats amazing. What sort of things did they use scuba for at the park? I’d be fascinated to learn more about what the role involved and anything neat that happened.

[@NotSomebody63]

Well, they drain that place from time to time and I never heard of them finding anything like that in the water. Now, having said that I beleive the animitronic fish ~ really just a fish on a wheel is still near the old tunnel intrance. I seem to remember watching the "fish" jump out of the water for a while after the ride was closed.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Those fish still jump In Bear Country Pond. hang out for a while and you may spot one or more!

[@tedfitzpatrickyt]

Pirates was my favorite attraction as a kid, my souvenir was a replica flintlock pistol.

[@moosesloosegoose]

Guns is how I get my fish and cigarettes

[@ntroast51]

This is exactly the kind of video I love to watch! Thanks Mark!!!

[@QuatroAtYale]

Very interesting oddities video. My father was a smoker. We went to Disneyland at least twice a year from 1961 'til 1971, when we moved up north to Redding (where my brothers loved to fish). During all that time, I don't remember him smoking AT Disneyland, even though he didn't kick the habit 'til he had grandkids in the 80's. But then again, we didn't buy merch in Disneyland anyway! Middle class Mexican-American family with four kids, we didn't even buy food in the parks. We'd leave the park and go out to the parking lot to eat the food my Mom prepared beforehand. So he probably didn't buy smokes in the park either. But we did buy the occasional hat at the Mad Hatters, across from the Chicken-of-the-Sea pirate boat restaurant (uh, which we didn't ever go to). And my Dad did buy fudge on Main St right before we took the last train around the park before it closed. Wonderful times. And ya know, there were other animatronics in the Mine Train ride besides animals. There were all those moving rocks, animatronic versions of formations in parks like Arches NP in Utah. The nearest I got to those natural wonders before I was 30 years old WAS at Disneyland. I didn't even know they were real back then. Ah, guns in Disneyland, now that's an oddity. We saw the Golden Horseshoe Review, but that was after the shop was closed. But we did take guns TO Disneyland. Yep, we took toy guns to Disneyland in the early 60's, and I have proof. The earliest film my family has of Disneyland: vimeo.com/718526725 Thank you for your unique and interesting take on things. I will continue to watch... although you are out of merch, btw. Keep up the good work.

[@hughbrackett343]

[@julieclarke621]

Oh wow! Brickey… My daughter and I have often stopped and stared at that boarded up tunnel entrance…and then researched its history. What a revelation that the surrounding area is an animatronic burial ground; how lucky that they were allowed to stay close to their home …Fascinating! Thank you for this awesome vlog..

[@brentparker7359]

Great timing on that Monorail when you were pointing to the former helipad location. Like it was the helicopter arriving from the past.

[@barbbecka5291]

Cool that you brought up the helo's. As a family of three, we would drive from Fullerton to the heliport that you mentioned located on the north side of the Disneyland Hotel. My dad would then take the Disney helicopter to LAX; continuing on from there in a commercial flight to his ultimate biz trip destination of Washington DC. It was so much fun to take him to that heliport as well as pick him up from there upon his biz trip's return. Thank you for sharing all of these great oddities!

[@DC73843]

There was also a back Tomorrwland entrance to the park for Helicopter guests only, in the area next to the Skyway terminal.

[@dondavis564]

I was born in 61 and grew up in the city of Orange. I remember getting to take the helicopter once from the hotel to lax to board a plane for vacation.

As a child in the '50s I remember the shootouts between the Sheriff and the bad guys. Later in the late '60s I worked a security guard job at a shopping center with my sergeant being the former Sheriff of Disneyland. He was a fast draw artist who was sponsored by Disney for years. Great memories.

In the 70s, my parents bought me a Davy Crocket toy muzzle loader rifle at Disney. It was later used to launch a ton of bottle rockets.

[@ShoegazeSocialistGeorgie]

Disneyland didn’t stop with selling tobacco products in 1990. After it stopped being a tobacco shop on Mainstreet in 1990, cigarettes were sold at the Market House on Main Street which is now the location of Starbucks. They sold tobacco until the mid-2000’s. I was a CM at Disneyland off an on from 2000-2009. I had APs beginning in 1998 and still purchased cigarettes while in the park as a guest with friends whom I would sign-in during my time working there.

[@tammyb219]

I actually bought a flintlock pistol in the 80's from Pieces of Eight. I also have a rifle that either came from Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm, again from the 80's. The rifle is solid and well made. Thanks for another awesome video.

[@CrockettsCabin]

Cigarettes in Disneyland???!!! Millennial fragility will never cease to amaze me.

[@marsaustralis6881]

I was young enough to still generally remember the Disney Marina and legacy facilities over at the Disneyland Hotel before it was eventually torn down. Back then, it was a very quiet place to relax, away from the bustle of the park. I was able to eat at the Shipyard Inn (or was it the Wharf?) with my parents and siblings, and enjoyed the pseudo-sea breeze one got from the half-open restaurant during noontime next to the Marina, when we went back to the hotel to sleep a bit in preparation to watch the Electric Parade and Fantasmic later that evening. The old stores they had were nice to visit too; having a lot of novelties and goods from around the world, similar to the World Market store brand before they became more mainstream, or Earthbound Trading Company before they became hippie/bohemian fashion. My mother ended up buying very nice Asian-made cloth blankets that were thin enough to pack 4 of them into a backpack and allow a bit of airflow through the fabric, but was thick enough to keep the sun off us while camping out viewing spots for the parades and shows. Those became total gamechangers in subsequent visits.

[@NerdPrideSF]

Very cool video. Super fun. There are other animatronic graveyards at Disney Park, I’m pretty sure under the carousel progress at the Magic Kingdom is one.

[@MarcMercier1971]

15:00 In New Hampshire we had Six Gun City until 2014. They had street shootouts every 1/2 hr or hour (I forget, I was much younger). Was a great place. Being on an open area surrounded by mountains as a setting... you could have been in Colorado with your imagination. We still have Santa's Village, Storyland, Clark's Trading Post (closest to a western theme), etc.

[@brucemarshall5110]

@@HeyBrickey I can understand that. Along with the Plantation House that area was sort of Song of the South personified. However you might want to do a video about these locations along with the black Shoe Shine Boys/tap dancers that lasted into the days of New Orleans Square. It may not be pretty, but like tobacco sales, it's a part of the history. I have edited photos if you're interested.

Did I catch when the gun shop closed?

[@smittysmith3227]

I was an eyewitness to the May 22nd LA Airways helicopter crash. I was 9 years old and was at a nearby park awaiting my little league baseball teams turn to take to the field. A sound made everyone look up and we all saw the helicopter rolling inverted while the main rotor blades were coming apart and parts were coming away from the aircraft. To me,it fell to the earth in slow motion and then disappeared from sight as it crashed into the ground. A huge black cloud of smoke appeared and the next thing I knew was our couches and parents were scrambling to get us all loaded up in cars and rushing us home. It was on the news that night and we learned it had crashed into a local dairy with no survivors. I can still picture it to this day. Years later I would serve on helicopters in the U.S. Army and I always had that crash in the back of my mind on every mission. You can believe I always kept a close eye on every moving part of my aircraft before each flight. The second crash was a shock to me and once again on the evening news the images were something I can never forget.

[@SusanStypa]

I remember in the mid 80’s we went to Disneyland and my cousin got a “toy” rifle and we were stuck in security at LAX for quite a while until they finally determined it was a toy gun. That was an experience! I am a new subscriber and this video was great! Your a wealth of information for the tons of Disney junkies like me out there 😊. Thanks Brickey!

[@memphissommers4171]

In 1962 and in 1968, the Disneyland Sikorsky helicopters crashed and killed over forty (40) people. The helicopters were known to be susceptible to "catastrophic rotor failure." Those crashes were truly horrific in nature. (I was raised in SoCal, near Lynwood, where one of the crashes occured and my friends and I were some of the first ones on the scene at Leuder's Park.) The scene was ghastly. I was 11 years old.

[@efoxxok7478]

An early 60’s movie called “40 Pounds of Trouble” features Disneyland in the final 1/3. It highlights the helicopter trip from LA to Dland. The movie features Tony Curtis, and Suzanne Pleshette. A very cute movie showing off Disneyland as it looked at the time. While some of the shots are misleading in how the park is laid out ( for instance the monorail station is made to look like it’s on Main Street) it is still a very fun movie. Interesting side note this was the first, and perhaps the only non Disney production given permission to film there. If you haven’t seen it try and get a copy.

One of my favorite, non design, videos of yours…didn’t know any of them.

[@bripslag]

If there are indeed animatronics buried in Frontierland, they are more likely buried in the dirt beneath the concrete, not cast into the concrete itself. I also doubt the concrete is any thicker where the hills are in the walkways. It's much more cost effective to grade (slope) the soil underneath and then place a 3" to 6" thick concrete slab over it.

Hey Brickey, if you want to know more about the graveyard you should try to get ahold of the group of guys still alive who drove those mine trains. They call themselves "The Order of the Red Kerchief" and they get together regularly in SoCal. I no longer have any contact info for them.

[@robertjones1729]

Ok I was born in So Cal in 1954 and grew up with Disnyland. I fished at that spot with my Dad and brother...we caught fish and did take them home...m mom..Native American style used them to fertilize her roses..I kid you not! Remember Walt practically chain smoked, a habit born from his days as a young man serving in WW 1 France as an ambulance driver..he was under age and faked his permission paperwork to go be with his brothers. From that he loved a French cigarette called Giantes that came in a blue pack and were not common in the US but..having his own tobacco shop he could get them at will because they sold cigarette from around the world. At 15 years old I bought a pack there from Japan who's brand name was "Peace' and had a Dove on the front..they gave me a buzz and no one in the park blinked twice about a 15 year old smoking ! I remember the gun displays but not the gun shop I also got a couple of the spent blank rounds that came out of the Winchester Rifles they used in the Stage Couch hold up show they did..had to go to first aid to get some sauve for the burns...no big thing back then Hey Bricky..could you do a show on the GREEN Water system in the park ?

The only animatronic that “buried” near Big Thunder is the jumping fish hear the other tunnel that the mine train ran through.

I first visited Disneyland in 1955 (I was 7 yo), when it was still under construction. We could look through a fence & see the unpainted train station.

I seriously doubt there's anything buried in the old arch way any more. If Disneyland is anything, it's not wasteful. If any animatronics were stored there in any capacity, it would likely have been very temporary, and then they were likely moved and either recycled or repurposed. That archway is almost certainly empty now. It's not an ideal place to store anything, and it's certainly not where original animatronics would be preserved. It's simply uncanny to think that any self-respecting Disney employee would agree to store them there. :(

[@Revkor]

he is not sayign the actual archway but the concrete you walk on. and i kidna agree that its unlikely the just buried broken animatronics. likely scrapped them. I do know that they left some ofthe river ones there in a summerged state.

Of course you could buy tobacco at Disneyland... Walt himself smoked like a chimney! Honestly, it wasn't until the 2000s that people really started phasing it out for real. You could also, back in the day, buy a bra on Main Street... and enjoy a historical display about foundation garments, too.

[@miniprepper8284]

Having an underwear store in the park is actually a good idea. I know there were times I wished I had a change of clothes during a long hot day at the park. If you get caught in a sudden rainstorm or sit in something accidentally it is nice to change into something dry. People have accidents... of all sorts😉

[@acahmak]

Interesting- in Disney World, fishing is a feature. Bass fishing is a big sport in the area, and Disney has many spots where you can pay for an excursion in the Park's waters. Boat, guide and all equipment, including refreshments. Years ago Bassmasters had a tournament there, if memory serves. Key point though, all fishing is catch and release.

my dad use to fly on the helicopter to LAX from Disneyland. He did that about ounce a month. He worked for GE and flew all over the world for them. I remember watching the helicopter taking off and landing. I got one ride to LAX on the copter to LAX, I remember.

Thanks, Bricky. You taught me something new today. I don't smoke but the two tobacco shops were on my tour list in 1973 and 1975. When I made it back to Disneyland in 1993, they were gone except for the wooden Indians.

Not only the animatronics, but some of the original bobsleds from the Matterhorn, which were replaced in 1978.

We used to take the train from San Diego to Anaheim. So cool.
