Quick comment on the Earful tower, if you ride slinky dog dash in toy story Land, right when you get to the loading dock if you look on the back wall there is a map of the ride layout with all the little set pieces and whatnot. In the top right hand corner, there’s a tower with a mickey-shaped cloud on top of it, looking very similar to the water tower. I’ve heard it said that the location on the map on the wall places the tower in the same spot that it used to stand on the land before it was taken down. So there actually is an Easter egg for the tower, just not in galaxy’s edge!
@B0nd073 жыл бұрын
Yup, Toy Story Land is now where the Earffel Tower part of the backlot was, not Galaxy's Edge, which is where Catastrophe Canyon was. And I do believe that the reference is pretty much in the exact spot where the tower was (or at least as close as the Imagineers could get it). Been a while since I've compared maps though. Still think they should have moved it to what is now Disney Springs though, instead of just demolishing it.

It would be kinda interesting to talk about the icons of the lesser known parts of various Disney Parks. Each themed hotel and water park has it's own icons/weenies. They all have a ton of thought put into them, even if they're not the same caliber as Snow White's Castle or Spaceship Earth.

Here’s a few facts that you all probably know about the international icons but imma write some down anyways: Cinderella Castle at Tokyo Disneyland is of course a replica of the castle at the same name found at the Magic Kingdom, just with a different color scheme painted in 2006 to differentiate it from its MK counterpart. It also doesn’t have a stage in front of it, but contains a walkthrough attraction. Meanwhile at Paris, although it is also named Sleeping Beauty Castle it is in fact not a replica of the one in Anaheim, but designed based off the film. The idea behind it is that real life castles are very common in Europe, so they just build a fairytale one instead. Also it has a dragon underneath it. Mount Prometheus, the volcano at Tokyo DisneySea, is part of Mysterious Island, which gets its name from one of the Jules Verne books. It contains the attraction “Journey to the Center of the Earth” based on another Jules Verne book. It regularly erupts because after designing it, the Japanese engineers asks what the volcano actually does, so they added rocket boosters to simulate the volcano erupting. The earful tower is still found at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, unlike the one that used to be in Orlando, this is near the entrance of the park. As Dallin said in the video it is a replica of the earful tower that was in Hollywood Studios besides the name on the front. Hong Kong Disneyland used to have a replica of the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Anaheim, but it was recently changed and turned into the Castle of Magical Dreams. It features a tower for every official Disney princess + Frozen. But now with Raya and presumably more Disney princesses coming they kinda dug themselves into a hole. Its expansion was partly done during operating hours, with the parts being brought in at night since it sat in the middle of the park with guests walking all around it during the day. The Enchanted Storybook Castle at Shanghai Disneyland is of course “Authentically Disney, and Distinctly Chinese.” It is the first Disney castle to not use forced perspective. It houses a Snow White walkthrough attraction and part of the boat ride “Voyage to the Crystal Grotto”, which is basically Jungle Cruise but fantasyland and no jokes.

The rod on top of Spaceship Earth is removable and it used as a tie-off railing for climbing/repelling. I used to work overnight custodial at Epcot and it’s basically only used for maintenance and pressure washers during their annual cleaning of the outside of that building. Obviously either they left it there for the week (usually about how long it takes to complete the project) or they forgot about it at the end of their shift.

The best icons are always the Park centerpieces, not only are they iconic and can be seen from anywhere in the park, most of them have rides or shows inside making them multi purpose! The Epcot globe (Spaceship Earth), Grammans Theater (The Great Movie Ride), Tree of Life (Tough to be a Bug) Grizzly Peak (Grizzly River Run) and Sleeping Beauty Castle (Walkthrough with dioramas). Sadly, Cinderella Castle has an expensive restaurant instead of an attraction. Also, I guarantee that the rod on top of Spaceship Earth is very likely a lightning rod. Every single tall structure in Disney World (and Universal) has one.
