The Worst Disneyland Ride Ever

[@morgansilva2092]

I have always wanted to ride it at night and see all the little scenes lit up.

[@Lbrisbois2000]

It's so beautiful at night ❤

The worst Disneyland ride from the best Disneyland vlogger? I’m in!

[@glamblueeyes1443]

Renewed my love for this ride ❤

[@J_Pike]

Love this attraction the detail is amazing. It is incredible how much it has changed over its life time. Caught the Fire Works 🎆from a boat with Lisa B. ❤The CM stops the boat where ever you are at when the Fire Works start, so you can catch the whole show. If you have not done it put it on your DIsneyland Bucket List it is a lot of Pixie Dust ✨ #1313

[@Lbrisbois2000]

Some great Story Book memories with you, J Pike. Fireworks and getting to sign the registry in the morning...so much magic 🪄

[@lcflngn]

Lol! Yrs ago we got on just before fireworks, which was amazing, but also feeling so sorry for the boat ahead of us stuck in Monstro’s mouth the whole time. I sure hope they don’t do that to anyone any more ;)

[@raidermike3244]

Very very cool 😎

[@greenmonk]

love storybook canal! My favorite is to ride it at night, but one time we used our hotel early entry to be the first ones in line to get to sign the captain's log! great memories for a great ride.

[@dianeobrien3998]

This was my Mom’s favorite Disneyland attraction. She LOVED the attention to detail and as great as it was in the daylight she insisted we ride it at night when all the lights were lit, making it extra magical.

[@400rvf]

I really enjoy these deep dives into attractions. Nicely done.

[@AlexisAmezquita]

These storytelling videos are your best work! I really really enjoyed this one.

[@shashona3084]

Evening all

[@Cove_Blue]

Ok the buildings being real is cool but all the plant life being real is awesome!

[@lancegregory9861]

Great back story sir, thank you, this will VERY much give us a different perspective when we finally get to visit DL next year!

[@nessie46]

I just went on this ride for the first time ever last week. It's super charming and innocent. I love learning the backstory - thanks!

[@Outrider916]

I had no idea about all the detail that went into the Storybook Canals. Thats quite amazing really!

[@MoonFairy929]

Nice history! Have a great week!

[@SimplyBrandy23]

Haha, you got me with the title. I love this ride, but I don't ride it, due, to my fear of tipping over, same fear I have on JC. I know they are on tracks, but my brain 🧠 can't makenthat concetion 🤷🏽‍♀️ Great video once again never knew the history of this attraction. Thank you & Great Job, my friend 😊

[@juliwilkins2876]

I found super 8 video of storybook canal in 1959 with my mom when she was 16 years old. Crazy!!

[@troystaiger6154]

I believe that I’ve only ridden it once in all my trips to DL in the last 22 years, Honeymooned during 9/11

[@bettyjojohnson9315]

That was great content. Thank you for the knowledge of the building of such an iconic attraction.

[@babymacko]

Love you content. Keep the Disney coming!

[@demonoid7469]

Now the worst operating ride at either Disney park in California is Webslingers... We did that once...and have no need to ever want to do it again

[@NotLostWanderer133]

Wonderful video Brickey. I so much enjoyed it. Love all you do. I was Diane F. but changed my nick for online reasons. Still here, still following. Best to you.

[@emfunTravel]

Of course they are real houses! I want to pretend in my little kid mind that little charachters live in them at night!😂❤ At least I think that’s what Walt would hope for us to believe!🥰

[@jish55]

As someone who despises drops with a passion, I'd argue that Splash Mountain and Tot/Mission Breakout are FAR worse as I outright refuse to ride those more than once (have only ridden splash 2 times my whole life and ToT/Mission once).

[@Hrz]

Bee jumpscare

[@QuatroAtYale]

Love that... "Mud bank ride". Wow, underground electricity! Wish PG&E knew about that technique. Redwood! Cool. Huh, I really never liked that ride. Now I've got to check it out! Oh my, watch out for the giant ducks! Look out.

[@kalaoahaole]

My Favorite! Super special magic surprise if You ever get to rope drop and ride it first like we have... so cool

[@giannidags]

personally I try to ride this every trip, sure doesnt have the AC of small world but ill take cool miniatures to an ear splitting song anyday

[@thebluetarp]

Look at at what is happening to Epcot today? They have ruined its future vision in my opinion. Symmetry is gone. It bulges in weird places. Sight lines no longer matter. Nor is Epcot a place for IP. If you do add IP, it needs to be done with kid gloves. As to not disturb the Epcot vision. Since you are going soon Brickey, I would love to hear your take on that. Cosmic rewind is an atrocity of epic proportions. The ride is awesome, that’s not the issue.

[@iamthesayyadina]

One of my favorite rides ever. (Now do a video on the actual worst ride which used to be right around the corner: The Motor Boat Cruise. 😆)

[@iamthesayyadina]

@@HeyBrickey Love you, love your channel, but as a former old school Cast Member (NO/BC Attractions, and was around for the Fantasyland remodel you speak of), I must hard disagree. Use your imagination… Early Storybook was just an annex of The Huntington (Gardens), complete with the little signs of the foliage’s Latin names 😆. But seriously, yes, it must have been horrific. But not as bad as The Motor Boat Cruise, (which I’m sure you’re much too young to remember), which was bad from 1957 to 1991 when they added the Gummi Bears characters (wut 😳), which made it exponentially worse. That lasted a hot minute and it finally got put out of its misery in ‘93. It’s astounding that the lagoon is still there considering it’s a decent chunk of real estate that could be used for something else, as long as that something could be built around the Monorail track.

[@jeanettesmith765]

Can you ride it at night?

[@Bolt3911]

arrrgh... you keep saying that at 1/25th scale an inch is a foot. This is incorrect. at 1/24th scale an inch is two feet.

[@anarchorepublican5954]

🤨❓..ok sure? its Awesome!! (in miniature)...but, why exactly did you call Storybookland Canal Boats "The Worst Disney Ride Ever"???...its opening day "Mudbank ride" conception?....or clickbait?...

[@lydnut]

Clickbait title much?!?!

[@ckbarry]

Great footage and vibes for such a charming ride! Thanks, Brickey. ❤ #1313

[@JesseAdventure]

Leaving a comment from Leavenworth!

[@bruiser666]

Storybook canal boats are awesome!

[@tbx59]

Particularly with a good skipper, it's a quintessential Disneyland ride now.

[@michaelmorrow6152]

Storybook Canal Count’em Challenge???? How many times in a day?

[@karichadwick2932]

Storybook Land is my favorite ride in Fantasyland. Thanks for the great insite to what makes the ride so magical!!

[@Lbrisbois2000]

I love this attraction. The first boat of the morning or last one of the night with a good storyteller is some sweet magic. You made the Story Book Canal boats look real pretty, Brickey.

[@ginadisenchanted]

The title of this video puzzles me, but I really appreciate all the details you provided for one of my favorite rides at Disneyland. I would love to ride Storybook Land Canal Boats over and over until I have every nook and cranny lovingly committed to memory. Thanks Brickey! 💖

[@Sweathogs64]

Very clickable title.

[@PeppersGhost]

This just makes me wish Disneyland had a model railroad, similar to the one over in the Germany pavilion at EPCOT. If you've never heard of it, there's a HUGE model railroad exhibit in Hamburg. Something like that, with Disney's attention to detail, and based on Disney's properties, would be cool to look at it.

[@jonahlevy674]

I like that idea, but i think the way Walt saw it, Disneyland entire is itself the largest model railroad in the world (when it was built). Walt took his model railway obsession to bigger and bigger scales, until he finally opened the park to satisfy his dreams. The Disneyland Railroad circles a fantastical model city. Pretty cool to view Disneyland through this lens!

[@curiouscreativenottalented6259]

This comment makes me think of the model of Disneyland in the Walt Disney family museum in San Francisco.

[@kevinpeterson6468]

Not Storybook Canal!

[@VaxxedStories]

I can confirm they are real homes. I installed the drywall and HVAC in them! Then help the little people move in.

[@garygriggs7789]

Hey Brickey, you say the Storybook Land structures were built 1/25th scale. Then, you reference 1 inch = 1 foot. That would be 1/12th scale, or, roughly, twice the size of 1/25th.

[@karencox1384]

Storybook is my favorite ride at Disneyland. I always wanted to build one.

[@edstrong597]

Fun learning this Great ride had an amazing improvement. The ride through parts of this video are great, it’s like being on the ride. Keep up the good work !

[@giannag4581]

Hello Bricky. I have never heard the history of this attraction before. I really enjoyed this. It's always a must for me to go on when I'm lucky enough to be able to go to Disneyland. I also love it at night too. 😊

[@ruthosuna5289]

One of my all time favorite rides! I'm loving the history lesson!

[@GeoTactics]

Ahhh man that ride brings back so many memories as a kid.

[@catherinenelson9423]

No one covers an attraction like you and no one covers this one. Thank you for the great history info.

[@kangstrom]

One of my lifetime faves get some love!!! PLUS bonus Harriet Burns appreciation? Le swoon! Thank you.

[@JeffA_]

I always enjoy this attraction, but not sure why. Now I know why. Details. Thank you

[@SteveHolst]

I've never outgrown Storybook Land.

[@Olyphoto7]

I always love a ride through Storybook Land, the only ride that’s also a land!

[@marcmooney9293]

Why is it the worst attraction ever? Lol I mean remember the rocket rods? 🚀

[@kwu2242]

the car ride home. Wa wa wa

[@listerheb]

When you say built like houses do you mean to say they even have interior walls and rooms? I am so in love with that idea

[@derradune6722]

The whale is real, too. Not many people know that. 😉

[@CountessGrotesque]

I really enjoyed learning more about this attraction. The little houses remind me of things my grandad would build. He made miniatures for remote control car racing tracks and trains. He passed away yesterday so it warms my heart to get to hear about these miniatures today 💜

[@Superweapons]

hey brickey do ya life in Florida to make Disney videos?

[@jasoncarbone5553]

Brickey this one speaks to my heart. This is one attraction that I've enjoyed since I was 4. As you stated so eloquently, "... an absolute perfect Disneyland attraction." It's as classic as the Mouse. Keep 'em coming.

[@raidermike3244]

Hey Brickey!! I used to take my kids on the ride and thought it was kinda boring. Now Im going to look at this ride in a totally different light!!! Thanks on explaining the story on the ride:) I can’t wait to take my grandkids on the ride. Awesome job Brickey 👊💥💥💥😎

[@discoverthis]

Another great one!! Thank you for sharing all these details, loving it!!

[@oneironaut420]

I would love to be able to walk around Story Book Land and sit and just look at all these little details.

[@scarygary]

What a great overview of a Fantastically creative attraction. Great video Brickey

[@robertscott6048]

would be nice to see original Fantasyland maps and photos to today , because things were moved and rebuilt

[@simplysuelou2014]

Hey Brickey! Agreed: Worst. Ride. Ever. I especially love, I mean hate, the giant ducks who sleep in the narrow island. I call them all Gulliver.

[@slob5041]

You know what’s funny is that most people that travel expect something amazing, and then it just kind of ends up being 15 minutes of sun baked toy models

[@keouine]

I love this ride. I think Disneyland Paris has a version. Honestly I would love a walk through with the surrounding lands on elevated plateaux while guests walk in a sunken passage.

[@darsstar6440]

Thank you for doing this I love this ride your explanation about it was fabulous. I rode it yesterday, and I always am looking for new little things that I have missed .😮 Thanks again.

[@KcBallerina1982]

I couldn’t love your videos more! Thank you for all that you put into them. So refreshing. So interesting. Such a special channel!

[@lisacubbon8508]

I watched an imagineer episode about Harriet burns. Just fascinating

[@lauraflores1482]

I was surprised by this ride on my first ever trip to Disneyland in 2021. My husband is a landscaper and this was by far one of his favorite rides. He was incredibly impressed. 😊now we don’t miss it.

[@augamemnon]

I used to have a t shirt with a Hunter S. Thompson illustration with a scary Monstro getting ready to chomp down on a boat of frightened tourists. I think my Brother stole it? 🤔😡

[@jillblanco3404]

One of my favorite attractions!!

[@nzjonty]

I’ve always loved riding this at night, the lighting is incredible. Got a whole new appreciation for it after watching this

[@WindowtotheMagic]

The Storybookland Canal Boats are exclusive to Disneyland… except that it also exists at Disneyland Paris. Can you explain why you consider ours to be exclusive to Disneyland? Thanks!

[@WindowtotheMagic]

@@HeyBrickey okay. See… I KNEW you would be able to explain your perspective on it. Thanks, my friend. Keep up the awesome work!

[@theshow16]

The detail and storytelling that go into your videos is amazing. I think that Walt would be a fan, I sure am.

[@jennifermarquez4823]

Oh, this isn't the worst ride! My girls would have loved this ride when they were little (we were WDW people then).

[@anitamorris5959]

Knocked it out of the ballpark again. Great info and in 2 weeks when I am there, I will ride it again.

[@lindamemo5224]

That boats hard for this old lady to get in and out of so uncomfortable to sit in but I love it

[@MrPaynejoh]

I graduated from high school in 1983. We went to Grad Nite something like one week after Fantasyland reopened. It was a true wonder. So much better than the original! The only thing I miss is the big hat shop with a giant fake tree where I got my first Peter Pan cap! Berlin was the Featured music act that night. Good Times man...

[@HeyBrickey]

Berlin??? That’s amazing!!!

[@willrontani5894]

Walt was fascinated by miniature models of everyday items (not just trains) and had a vast personal collection. You really NEED to see the miniature room at the WDFM to fully experience his mind set in this design space.

[@willrontani5894]

@@HeyBrickey with your interest and analysis, I think you could easily spend days there.

[@katiestevens3613]

Adore this ride ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing the behind the scenes on this sometimes over-looked, perfect ride! And this was shot so beautifully, Brickey! I'm in awe of your skills on so many levels!

[@sheilaa1333]

One of my favorites! As a gardener I marvel at the landscaping.
