Celebrating the stories of defunct, historic, and obscure theme park attractions 📚
The Art of Disney Park Icons
Disney's theme park icons are more than a nice looking centerpiece; they define parks and are a snapshot of their greater theme. Icons set the tone and establish a world of fantasy. Beyond that, their careful designs are essential to a park’s layout and can even be a venue for an attraction.
Let’s explore what makes them so great. This is the art of Disney park icons.

Just went here for the first time last Wednesday...it was AMAZING
Oh fun! I’m sure it was great seeing the park with fresh eyes!
I’m claiming Bonnie Appetite as my drag name 😎🥦 This was a quality video, as always! I wish Kitchen Kabaret was still around, because it definitely seems like my kind of humour 😂
They were definitely having some fun in that writer's room. 😅 Thanks for watching, Bonnie Appetite! ✨
Beyond words... i had heard about this but could not have dreamed the boats looked so cool!
They're really imaginative! A standard ferry boat wouldn't have had the same impact, for sure.
This was a fantastic discussion, as always! I’m always partial to the Tree of Life, but I love the look of Hong Kong’s new Castle of Magical Dreams.
I love the collaborative look of Castle of Magical Dreams! It's so beautifully distinct.
Hello! I am trying to get into contact with Dick Hamilton and I can’t find anything in that regard. How’d you manage it?
Hi there. I reached out to a music organization he was a part of. They asked his permission before putting him in touch with me.
Considering rides in this area are always closed is interesting
Grizzly Peak at DCA is a not wolf 🐺, it’s a bear 🐻 I don’t care 🤷♀️ what people saying that it’s a wolf 🐺 but it’s a bear 🐻
Well, it is in the name: *Grizzly* Peak.
@@StorybookAmusement that’s right
I remember waiting 9 hours for Hagrid's on opening day. It was an amazing experience. I also still have the photo of my churro from Velocicoasters opening day a couple years later.
You have to continue the tradition and go to Epic Universe on opening day 👀
@ I’m going a couple days early for team member preview before May 22
Even better!
This video made me cry
😭 Hopefully a good cry! These places are so magical.
Wonderful video! I would love to see the pure scale of the WDW icons one day. The fact there’s an attraction inside the EPCOT sphere blows my tiny mind 😂
I still can't wrap my mind around how they managed that, and it's a loooong ride too. 🤯 Thanks for watching!
My favorite 🤩 Disney icons are Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland and Grizzly Peak at Disney California Adventure
Justice for Grizzly Peak!
ICONIC. The most overused and misused word in culture. UGH!
Are icons not iconic? 🤔
Disney icons are amazing especially sleeping beauty castle at Disneyland Paris
Absolutely gorgeous!
Incredible mini documentary!
Thanks so much!
I am surprised you didn't even have a short mention of DCA's "Sun Icon".
It was in my script early on, but I removed it once it got too complicated. 😅 Good call.
@@StorybookAmusement could have a "Ex-Icons" sequel video ;)
Very good and right pronunciation of “Neuschwanstein“! Don’t hear that often. Nice👍🏻
Well thanks! And thanks for watching!
What’s your favorite Disney icon? Thanks for watching!
Most fascinating icon are the ones in hollywood studios,is really metaphoric how much icons they had used thru all the years,considering how much the park had to re-invent itself from their original theme to the newer adition we are seeing.
I'll be honest, we lost a icon with Splash Mountain, Chickapin Hill was amazing as both something pretty to look at as an individual nature piece, while at the same time being super imposing with how tall it is and the concrete surrounding it, and it makes the mountain bigger than it is. It's ashame that it's replacement went with a stupid water tower than makes the mountain look smaller and doesn't have a compelling draw like Chickapin Hill
I fully understand. The parks are full of secondary icons, or weenies. Space Mountain, Pandora's mountains, etc. Those are special too!
I just know this will be a very iconic video. Disneyland paris like always is very underrated cus MY GOD i love that castle and their walkthru.
Their castle is gorgeous. 😭 I would visit that park just for the castle, it's that pretty.
I always loved how Disney wanted MGM's Grauman's Theater to be the park icon...only for the Earful Tower to become a favorite and so that was the Icon for years.
Disney wasn't subtle at all in those Eisner years 😅
😎🙏💯
Thanks for watching!
I grew up in the area multiple friends working there rip jaws my childhood fr
Loved this, thank you for posting I first went to Universal in 1992 and I was gutted that it was closed (as Jaws was my favourite film) and again in 1993 before finally being able to ride in 1994. Years later I finally got to ride Jaws in the dark at HHN, I believe it was September 2011
Must've been so fulfilling to finally ride it after all those years! Doesn't get any better than riding it at night.
@ I can always remember we was staying at Hard Rock in 2011 and we got over to Amity one morning after riding the Mummy to be told by a cast member that Jaws was not going to be open till 11am… I often wonder if this was the morning they told the cast members who worked the ride and area that the ride would be closing in January 2012, if they do such a thing, or just a case that work was needed on the ride that particular day
It would be highly amazing if some group or team was able to reanimate this. But either way this is great
As far as I'm concerned, anyone's more than welcome to take on that challenge. Thanks for checking it out!
The Beast is the best. Just wish they wouldve built Son of Beast better so it could still be standing.
I wouldn't be against them trying out Son of Beast again with a better manufacturer. Thanks for watching!
They need to bring this show back, upgraded and better than ever!
Toon Lagoon deserves it!
Although, im glad they brought back the Old Mill. Sadly, i feel like its just a shell of itself. I hope they can do more with it in the future. It needs more scenes, or more engaging scenes
I think water rapids ride would be good.
You're absolutely right!
RIP Lost Continent, you were once the best land in the park
😭 Lost Continent deserved better
Dollywood has blazing fury
Indeed they do 🔥
That Tornado dark ride sounds like it was pretty cool!
Oh
Great history, brought back some nice memories
Thanks for watching! A lot of great memories in that place. Love it.
I was one of the Egyptian dancers in that unit. The singer is the late Jack Sheldon who sang "Conjunction Junction" and "I'm just a BIll" in Schoolhouse Rock. It was one of the more fun units and parades in my 8.5 year stint at DL. This year will mark my 40th anniversary of my first parade. Yeah...I'm getting old. But still in dance class 2x a week!
Oh nice! That's such a fun tidbit about the vocalist; I'll have to look up some of his other work. The music rocked. And your section was probably the most fun! Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience. Good stuff. Glad to hear you're still at it!
This is one of, if not, the greatest documentaries on UA-cam, this is a piece of art
Well thanks for watching! That’s too kind.
Defunctland did a video a while back only covering The Tales of the Okefenokee. You went out of your way of covering the attractions after it. Good job!
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
@@StorybookAmusement You're welcome
2:40 Okay, Who let Gandy Goose up in here?
Man i didnt realize how crazy a year it was for coasters. Particularly perturbed at Indiana Beach...how do you not let people take pictures of your ride??? Insane Anyways glory to Good Gravy
Good Gravy! 🫡
FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🕳️🕳️🕳️ In all seriousness, this looks like a fun ride!
FIIIIIRE IN THE HOLE! The ride has closed since I made this video 😅 but they completely rebuilt it! It’s brand new again!
@@StorybookAmusement I know, it looks great!
Just walking past it scared me as a child. What's really interesting is that Kennywood's competition, West View, had a Danceland as well, and it burned down in 1973.
