The (Chaotic) First Day of Disneyland | Fascinating Failures

Belgium-Based "Manneken Pis" as the Opening Act

[@brainbin]

The opening, funny as it was, is actually a wholesome reminder that although Disneyland's opening was a fiasco, it did go on without any loss of life or limb... otherwise maybe it would have wound up on the other channel after all!

[@deletdis6173]

After all, according to Shrouded Hand, nobody ever dies at Disneyland. Iykyk

[@ManifestingMILLIONS111]

Supposedly Disney doesn't let anyone die on their property. If you are injured etc your escorted off the property. Look it up

[@wll1500]

​@@ManifestingMILLIONS111 What about that girl that got crushed to death by that revolving stage

[@Travoltaaaaa]

​@@wll1500 I think they admitted that one because she was staff. Kinda no hiding.

Also, the lady whose head was smashed into her abdomen on the matterhorn coaster.

[@Liusila]

That’s why we have “soft openings” now.

[@Zonyxe]

I love all your content, and having some juxtaposition for the dark themes of one channel with the light, humorous and silly stories of the other is fantastic. Having an outlet for all your creative story telling is just a boon for us!

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Wait, are you the same dude who does the Fascinating Horror channel content? Bruh, I’m subbing to you for that alone since I love your work.

The "translation unavailable" is perfect. Had me dying.

[@willpalmer615]

Only 300 views in 1 hour? I loved this one. I hope this video becomes as popular as a woefully mismanaged opening day at an amusement park.

[@Cats-TM]

Honestly, Disneyland (the programme) sounds genuinely intesting. Especially the behind the scenes of their films.

[@whiskeykel]

The intro had me rolling. Wonderful video!

[@sbsstorytelling]

While I already knew this story backwards and forwards, still listened because of your fantastic narration!

[@the-chillian]

3:00 -- Ironically, the popularity of Disneyland turned Anaheim into something of a tourist boom town. It became so built up around the park that it actually _doesn't_ have room to grow. When they wanted to build a separate adjacent theme park and a "Disney Downtown" area, they had to build it on the site of their former parking lots. Parking for Disneyland is now at garages some distance away, and they bus visitors in.

[@Truckngirl]

I really like your vibe here. But on the other one, too!

[@leigha2814]

Lmao I've heard "twenty-three skidoo" referenced before, is that nonsense really what it's from? That's incredible.

[@HM2SGT]

It means to depart\exit\leave quickly. See also do the bug out boogie. Cheez-it. Scat. Skedaddle. Pull a fast fade. Shag aşś.

I have to say Christian, that from my experiences at Disneyland, this could have been on your other channel. That said, you have once again amused and educated me and your tongue and cheek style is highly entertaining. Blessings to you.

[@HM2SGT]

Visiting Disneyland is a disaster today... $99 for a child to get in, $109 for an adult- plus tax. Then there's food, shows, at the end of 5 days family for typically has spent $2,500 not including transportation & motels. That's the low end for frugal folks; the average cost is 6 grand for a week and the high-end runs $15k!

[@daisychainado]

"this is garbage" had me cackling

[@61rampy65]

Kristian, something we don't normally see from you is your wicked sense of humor. Well done on the intro, and some of the humor injected into the rest of the episode. As an aside, my wife was there on opening day. She was 8. Her dad was deeply involved with Disney and the construction of Disneyland. I, along with my 2 cousins were at the park very shortly after it opened, but I don't remember a thing, as I was not even 2 yet!

[@Skelet0nCatBlake]

Imagine what the press of the time would've said if the park had some of today's "features" like fastpass and food that costs 10 times its worth.

I'm sorry this channel isn't successful as Fascinating Horor. Gotta love that British dry humor.

[@TheSaneHatter]

This is somewhat reminiscent of the "grand opening" of the Flamingo Hotel in Vegas, back in the 40s: Bugsy Siegel opened for one night of partying when it was half-finished, then closed its doors again to finish construction. The difference was that in this case, ABC didn't bump off Walt Disney afterwards: at least HE had the sense not to get money from the mob.

Walt Disney also took inspiration from Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which is how it got the Alice in Wonderland ride.
