Disney’s WORST Theme Park Blunders & Mistakes EVER! - Part 2

"There was a problem with the circus performers. They would drink, gamble, and walk around naked." So, circus performers then?

[@GacMan47]

I don't know what they expected. Probably should have trained people to be circus performers. But maybe they may have ended up with the same results.

[@terribleterribleterrible]

From stuff like this to the "biggest party Walt ever threw" where the whole company got drunk and trashed the golf club, Walt had a serious case of Surprised Pikachu Face. Kind of like Michael Eisner, but while Walt's was usually genuine surprise, Eisner kinda always had it coming in one way or another.

[@picklesthewise]

Okay but the "dark" Sinbad ride is so technologically impressive and kids who are older might think it's cool. If they had just put an age limit on the ride, maybe it could have stayed. And now that I know there could have been dragons in Disneyland, I am so disappointed there aren't.

That is true, but if Alien Encounter has taught us anything, it's that ride warnings don't work (unless it's medical).

I never saw Light Magic, but this is how it was described to me by someone who did: "The floats stop and they dance, then they jump off the floats and they dance and then they jump back on the floats and they dance some more."

[@happiestplace3754]

Well I can tell you, I WAS there when it opened and that's a pretty accurate description. The music is actually really good, I bought the soundtrack when it came out and still listen to it. Like the video says, it was very inspired by Celtic style music and yes Riverdance, which I think was still popular for a few more years at the time. The problem was Fantasmic was a HUGE hit and they were trying to capture that magic with this parade/show that didn't know what it was, and was a project done by committee, constantly throwing in new ideas, rather than a leader with a single vision or storyline.

[@hillarypritchard9249]

Omg the guy begging for the dragon to come back is hysterical. Also I love the electrical parade and wish it was more common! The last parade I saw was Magic Happens, in March of last year. It’s so beautiful! The electrical parade was moved to California adventure after a while, then it had a second farewell. Stop dangling it in front of me.

[@YesterworldEntertainment]

I think when they made that "promo", they didn't realize just how literal it would be taken...

[@spencerpetunia8268]

Interesting to know it was moved to California Adventure. My family has photos of my older brother and mom watching the Electrical Parade at one of the two California parks (we're from between LA and Santa Barbara) taken sometime in 1996.

[@rosenrot234]

I only remember one thing with the whole Light Magic thing. The Pixies at one point ask kids to join them in the street to dance. Well I ended up being one of those kids. I remember the pixie dancing with me eventually dropped some glitter or confetti onto my hand so we kept it.

I love the birthday cake castle. It was my first trip to Disney World after a couple Disneyland trips as a kid. It makes the anniversary instantly recognizable and memorable. Blew my mind as a kid to see the castle as a GIANT cake. Honestly, for a kid, it was a lot more fun than some boring castle.

[@HeartlessRandomguy]

The castle cake was awesome, and I wish they'd do something similar for the 50th anniversary, but of course, that ain't gonna happen, that wasn't even gonna happen before the whole Corona mess

[@Ryotsu2112]

I'm glad for you that you liked the castle cake, but I absolutely hated it. The castle is an icon, and they should never change it in drastic ways like that. Some people may only get to go once in their lifetime, and they would like to have the classic castle there instead of some gaudy giant cake. I remember going one year when it was only halfway done. Right there, in broad daylight for the entire time I was there, it was half cake on the bottom, and half castle on the top, which a huge, ugly crane sitting there by the castle. Now those were some AWESOME trip photos, let me tell ya!

[@crazyfire9470]

It’s rare that is for sure

[@AttnDefDis_]

I agree. I think the overlays are cool and I wish they did more.

[@GreyWouldBe]

I actually have insight on the flying dragon! So the history of the dragon came from a Disney imagineer who didn't work on it directly but worked adjacent to it. They created a special 3D printing machine for the UV reactive filament, The patent was for a experimental airplane officially, and it was in development for 5 years. Disney management decided that instead of spending another 1 to 2 years trying to complete the project, which would center around making the dragon less delicate, so it could reliably fly for multiple weekly shows, The project was terminated. The dragon flew once, they evaluated the wear and tear from that flight and shelved the dragon. The decision ultimately was that too much money had been sunk into it for the payoff, they just weren't willing to put A few more years of money into it. I remember seeing some video of it that absolutely brought tears to my eyes, it was a magical piece of engineering and hopefully someday they'll decide to take it out of the Disney vault and let the imagineers complete the ambitious dragon.

[@neenayannelli2334]

thats so interesting. so it was almost a mix of safety and cost. you wouldn't want a dragon that could fall at any second be around tons of people.

[@TheLastPhoen1x]

They were more than happy to sink money into projects that were promptly cancelled and had to require even more money to be dismantled or some stupid fads, but an actual piece of ingenious engineering that can make IRL dragon that can fly and impress the hell out of people and proven to actually work? oh no that's too expensive.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I didn't realize that the Sinbad attraction had been so drastically changed. I've seen ride-through POVs of the current iteration and it still looks like a fantastic, though underrated attraction. What I really dislike is how attractions are changed because of negative guest feedback because "their kids were scared". That's part of what makes attractions like Snow White's Scary Adventures, or DInosaur, or the majority of the classic attractions from Universal Studios Florida so great. Yeah, I was scared of Kongfrontation when I was 5, but neutering it would have been the wrong way to go, just as I'm skeptical of the new Snow White's Magic Wish. I understand that parks need to listen to guest feedback, but far too often I feel that they try to appease the lowest common denominator.

[@BellePullman]

I agree, but it depends on the target audience, and how successful the attraction is at achieving its goals. Like an attraction aimed at an older, thrill-seeking audience at most needs a warning for scaring kids, but if the intention was something family-friendly and suitable for little kids but it turned out too intense, then it's time to edit it.

[@NatYourAverageNerd]

I remember being terrified of the Dinosaur ride at WDW and am afraid to go back to see if it's still as scary as it was back then (around 2002, I think), but I have a need to do that to conquer my fears. After all, I used to be scared of the Temple of Doom ride in Disneyland, too, but once I got older, it became one of my favorite attractions. Like the T-Rex in the Jurassic Park ride at Universal (I haven't ridden the new version yet), it's a small window of time where I invite the fear; I look forward to having that 1-2 minutes on a ride to let out a Hollywood-level scream being face-to-face with an animatronic that was designed to impress and impose upon guests. I'm not a horror fan and never will be, but the rides that sent a chill down my spine growing up are now revered in my mind as some of the best I've ever known.

6:30 A family friend of mine worked for Disney World, and so I heard about the dragon a while before its release! From what I recall, it was meant to happen every night in place of Tinkerbell's flight, but my guess is that it was either too costly or too dangerous to do every night, so it was made into a one-time event instead.

[@neenayannelli2334]

so someone commented. it was meant to be a weekly show however it was too costly and took wear and tear only after that first flight. so they put into storage and was to never be used again, its a true shame.

Tokyo Disney SEA, yeah. So much more originality and imagination and less "go watch our movies instead of coming here".

So I haven’t heard a ton about DisneySEA but DEFINITELY had never heard of the Sinbad ride. I see why things were tweaked but the thing that strikes me the most is just how impressive those little animatronics are! For something that isn’t too detailed and pretty small, they have a surprising amount of fluidity and expressiveness.

[@TriceCeilborn]

Another fantastic video! That very brief Marsupilami cameo made my day, I was obsessed with him as a kid and carried the doll my parents bought me at Disneyland everywhere!

[@oneinathousand2156]

How is this the first time I’ve heard of the circus thing? Well, that’s why channels like you exist, to tell us about these weird moments in theme park history.

[@AndyG13GLA]

I’ve only been to TDR once & loved the Sinbad ride. It must’ve been the newer version as it wasn’t scary at all & the song was so darned catchy we revisited that ride many times during our stay.

Always makes the day better to have a Yesterworld! Also... Now I want to visit Tokyo Disney even more.

[@YesterworldEntertainment]

One of my dreams is to visit DisneySea

[@jenniferschillig3768]

@@YesterworldEntertainment Mine too. What I'd really love is for them to import some of the Tokyo Imagineers over here to the American parks. As good as WDW's special effects are, some of Tokyo's leave them in the dust.

[@Tortidis987]

@@jenniferschillig3768 it's almost all the same exact imagineers. The difference between Tokyo and the other parks isn't talent, it's purely budget. Every single major attraction at the resort closes at some point in the year for a week (or even a few months) to undergo serious maintenance. Also the rides were built without cutting any corners in the first place. The Oriental Land Company has super high standards compared to Disney itself

[@thezone200000]

I’m glad someone finally brought up “Light Tragic”, that was such a big, expensive swing and a miss. But the music was awesome!

[@YesterworldEntertainment]

It was one of those things where I thought it could easily be covered in a short segment...but realized near the end, it definitely deserved its own episode.

I will say that people have strong opinions about Sinbad. Some loved the old version and some hated it. There was no middle ground. I loved the old version personally.

I just happened to be at Disneyland during the first showing of the tinker bell light magic show... it was also the LAST night of the electrical parade.

[@fifthrider]

These are great. As someone who's got 50+ books on Disney history in my library and always adding more, I love to see someone else's take on things. That circus was a serious tragedy and you hit all the best bulletpoints including the paw getting bit off and the Llama stampede. Saying the tent was more successful at Holidayland was probably true, but that was another failure unto itself. The only thing I learned here I never knew before was that bit about Sinbad. Almost ironic that a Disney ride had to be "Disnified" down to something a little more family friendly.

[@YesterworldEntertainment]

I'd love to know the "insider knowledge" of how the changes came to be...like, just HOW many parents were complaining on a day-to-day basis that justified X amount of dollars for the alterations? How bad were the complaints? Would not changing it really have affected park attendance/guest satisfaction? It must have been pretty severe to warrant such a drastic change, and I imagine it wasn't cheap...so I feel like there's probably a bit more to the story than we know.

[@fifthrider]

@@YesterworldEntertainment Ian Malcolm: "Yeah, but John, if Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists." The giant animatronic was plucking people out of the boats and eating them. It's a little "Westworld", but that's my guess.
