    As someone who has never been to a Disney park and probably never will, this was a ride. Even the fact that people are willing to wait for like an hour for a ride is insane to me.

    • @MichaelDavis-cy4ok
      @MichaelDavis-cy4ok Рік тому +19

      It's best to go in the off season. When I was fresh out of Basic Training back in the 90s, I got five day passes for military rate, and I went with my best friend, my sister, and some girls from school. We went in February and the park had very few people in it. One day it sprinkled for a half hour or so in the morning and the park was virtually empty all day.
      It also really helps to go for at least three days, especially if you have kids. If you're only there a day or two, you go sprinting from one ride to the next, trying to cram everything into a single visit. But if you go for three to five days, you can take your time, enjoy some ice cream, meander around, and the park gets a lot more fun. It's especially better on weeknights, because after dark a lot of the people start leaving the park, and the lines get a lot shorter. I took my family last year and some nights the lines were down to ten minutes or less!
      The new Lightning Lane feature is good too if you can afford it: once per day on each of the big rides you can basically jump to the front of the line.
      Personally, though, I've noticed that the park is a lot more crowded now than when I was a kid. I know Disney lost a ton of money because of COVID, and they're losing even more because they won't quit making political films and stuff. But when they finally get bought out or get their heads on straight, they should take all that crowding as a sign and open up a third park in Texas. That would help a lot and would make them even more money in the long run while cutting down the crowds.

    Was on the original pirates ride many times. It wasn’t that much different than the ride that existed after the pirates movies. Basically for years all they did was add one Jack Sparrow animatronic. Haven’t been on the one in California in a minute but the one in Florida is NOW pretty recently much different as there is a sea battle between two ships in the beginning and they’ve added Barbosa as you mentioned.
    Also the ride was originally based on the book Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson. Same with the inspiration for the movie’s general themes and how they depict pirates.

It would've gone to the right of the front of main street.

And it was certainly less expensive than today’s Disney.

    I wanted to go on the Tower of Terror so bad when I was a kid when my grandparents took me, but my brother was too scared to go on it, so I couldn't. I went on the Guardians version twice this past summer with my stepdaughter and it was so fun.

    On our first time riding Guardians of the Galaxy, we didn’t know what kind of ride it was, or that it was the former Tower of Terror, just that it was highly rated. We went in completely unsuspecting with our then 5 and 9 year old kids, and that surprise made it one of the best ride experiences we have ever had. It remains a family favorite.

    If I remember correctly, for a little while there was a grand prize for The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire show at DCA. If you were in the hot seat and answered all the questions correctly, you won tickets for a Disney Cruise. Not sure how long they did that for, or if they did it at all, but I’m like 90% sure that was a thing. My uncle almost won but got the last question wrong!

I love you and all of your icebergs I always listen to them during homework and mostly when I'm about to fall asleep and a whole 3 hour video about the awesome Disney lore, especially since Disney is my entire childhood and one of my favorite things ever, just makes me SO happy. I hope in the future you get much more recognition and support because you have so much good potential. I think this is by far one of my most favorite icebergs EVER. You're amazing, dude!! :)
    P.S. I appreciate that you never have any jump scares, or shifts in the audio. It makes it so much more enjoyable. 💗

    My Dad worked for Garrett Airesearch from the 1960s until he retired. Each year there was Garrett Night (only employees and their family. Yes, I started going in my stroller. This one night, only Garrett were allowed and there we no lines. I can remember the height restriction on the Eutopia cars. My older brothers went on it but I was too short until age 10. Am so happy to see Swiss Family Robinson is coming back. Perhaps they release the original movie or make one up to date. You've done an excellent job on research and narrative for all who looks at the video. One point is the Haunted Mansion. Much rumor of a few Cast Masters, the ride was so frightening, it had to be dramatically changed before opening up to the public.

I was 17 and our class rode down on an Amtrack train. Kool & the Gang was headlining! The park was open all night and Space Mountain was the coolest newest attraction. I live about an hour south now and probably go once or twice a year. I’m just a big Disney adult nerd and found your research and story telling fascinating. Thank you so much!

    You said the Rocket Jets elevator was "regular, average [and] unDisney." The attraction's access by elevator-only WAS intentional AND thematic. That is, the elevator Tomorrowland guests took to get from the GROUND to their rocket cockpit HIGH ABOVE was inside a tall, square, open-framed metal tower with red crisscrossing beams. The elevator astronauts took to get from the GROUND to their rocket cockpit HIGH ABOVE was inside a square, open-framed metal tower with red crisscrossing beams.

    I remember in Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL riding many versions of these rides. The astro orbitors in Tomorrowland did remain on top of the people movers and it was weird when you first saw it and didn't know how to get to the actual ride. I was like 15 and my little sister was 4 and she really wanted to ride it. We found the elevator and got on. It is SO much higher than you realize and I was pretty freaked out by the height while my little sister was having the time of her life. So much fun. The people movers are still in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom too as well as the Carousel of Progress. The submarine ride you showed looked so fun. I never got to ride the submarines however, my mom and dad said Epcot originally had a submarine ride called "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and they really loved it. I wish I could have seen it. Your video is great! And gave me never-ending
    nostalgia.

I remember my parents trying to trap us in to get the hell outta there because I’m their minds & w/the time we had & the $$ they thought it was a waste of time 😂.

    (Be prepared, I wrote an essay)
    Being 12 now, I remember going to see the "It's Tough to be a Bug" show when I was six. I don't remember much, but I do remember the Hopper animatronic and the being poked and sprayed water at. I was scared out of my mind at that part. I wish it was still there. I've never been to Walt Disney World, but I hope I can go there soon with all the awesome rides there. The sun wheel was also amazing. The Mickey wheel was the best. But in my opinion, the Pixar Pal-Around is just stupid. I enjoy going on the Little Mermaid ride, because of all the cool animatronics and the air conditioning (as well as the breakdowns). I never got a chance to go on Mulholland Madness, but Goofy's Sky School is a great rollercoaster. Same thing with the Silly Symphony Swings. I was always too scared to go on Tower of Terror, but when we heard that it was closing, my dad and I gave it a shot. It was the best ride ever. Even though it's the same track layout, Guardians just feels worse, in a way. I disagree with the statement of the Heimlich ride being just a dumb train ride. Maybe it's just me enjoying it too much as a kid, but I LOVED riding around through all the plastic food and the aromatic atmosphere. Now California Screamin' was an exhilarating ride. I rode it like three times before the renovation. Again, this might just be another "younger me" bias, but I liked the prior more. There's something about the excessive theming that deducts from the overall ride experience. For Star Tours, I never could go on the original, but from my dad, Rex was a really entertaining character. Also from my dad, the Country Bear Jamboree was one of the best rides at Disneyland. Same with the Peoplemover. Last thing, I wish Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland was still intact and running.
