When I went to Disney world in 09 I got to experience some great nostalgia with the country bears. It was nice to see that again after all those years.
It's a bit creepy to see the heads inside of the Winnie the Pooh ride. They're there in the shadows, smiling. Finally saw them a few weeks ago. So cool.
My grandpa went to this last year and was so sad and depressed to see the park changed so much and was tough to see all the old rides he remembered was, just remnents he was there on back in the 60's and 70's with my mom.
Great video! The Swiss Family Robinson tree house was always one of my favorites as a kid. I'll always remember the real tropical birds they had, and the water machine that brought water from the base up to the "house." It was so fanciful and you could really imagine living there, which is something that "Tarzan" lacks due to the character diorama.
I really miss my childhood now, watching this has brought back many wonderful memories that I can remember. And I feel kinda bad for the old Mine Train, abandoned like that and no one cares about it......sad:(
There was a ride in the area of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad called Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland.Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened in 1979. Since 1955 the area has been trails,the Rainbow Caverns Mine Train, Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland and finally Big Thunder Mountain. As Walt Disney said "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world."
Disneyland changes. It has to. It's part of what makes Disneyland so great but i've always admired that when they take out an attraction, there's always some nods to what used to be there. As long as Disneyland remembers it's past, it's never lost
This music is soooo silly! I laughed. and I agree, I always missed the "old school stuff" in disneyland. Especially the three characters from the country bear jamboree. Anyway, great montage.
The small screen within an already smallish screen was driving me nuts lol... but I really like the vid other than that! This was uploaded nearly 10 years ago now though :( Some of those forgotten Disney things have *really* been forgotten now.
By the way, does anyone find some of these to be "creepy" for some reason? Well, mostly the remaining heads in the Winnie the Pooh ride lol :/ Like... it's just creepy to have to turn around during a DARK ride and see them staring back at you, like it's a hidden, mysterious kinda thing... idk how to explain it.
the fact the such history is lost to time is truly sad. If they spent a little more money and brought back even half of what used to be there people would flood to see it to bring back sights and sounds from their childhood, hell even younger guys like me would love to see it just to take a trip back in time !
The crazy thing is that almost every one of the listed things are STILL in their original form at DisneyWorld. Looking at Disneyland vids, it makes me realize how much I take that for granted. Then again, i have never once been to disneyland. i was born, and live in orlando..
I remember Country Bears! But I was so little then. LOL How cool that the tree the Treehouse was based on still exists. I guess there's no reason it wouldn't though.
Ha I saw the bear jamboree characters last year. I turned around in the Pooh ride to see what the backs of the scenes looked like and SURPRISE! There were some unexpected guests looking back at me.
I've been going to King's Island near Cinny, OH. since it was new. I've seen a lot of changes there in the last 40 years and I see so many things that are reused from old attractions and remants of past rides all around the park. Just have to know what to look for....well, and be old enough to know what to look for....LOL!
@SuperMore101 the bears may no longer in there, but Max, Buff, and Melvin still are. I was just there over Spring Break this last March. They still hang over one of the portals, since they are wall-mounted characters wouldn't be able to be removed without having to remove an entire wall. The wall they hang on used to be the exit at Disneyland's version of the Country Bear Jamboree.
Ok first of all le tme say this, i LOVE these videos. i first watched them about 2 years ago when i first found my interest in dsiney history and secrets. i instantly fell in love with these videos. Ive ben waiting soooo long for another so im excited to see that. also, what is the music in this one? thank you and i cant wait for more videos :D
I always wondered what happened to the Country Bears Jamboree. I vaguely remember the first time I went to Disneyland as a little girl. I could never find it after that first time going there though. I went on the Winnie the Pooh ride the last time I went a couple years ago too. Ah...memories. ='D
@CosplayCore Disney world got rid of Swiss Family Tree House?? SOOOO glad I took my entire family through it last year. That was always one of my favorite attractions.
On a more recent note, There are also some subtle references to the old Star Tours ride in the new one, including C-3PO (who is the new pilot) saying lines like "I've always wanted to do this!" and "Brakes! Brakes!! WHERE ARE THE BRAKES!!!?," Several models that were used in the old ride, and a situation that very closely resembles the original ride.
Wow, WDW in Orlando still has it's Swiss Family Robinson's Tree House, Countyr Bear Jamboree, and Ft. Wilderness. Heck, one of our newer resorts over here at WDW is called the Wilderness Lodge
It was awsome.I hav been looking 4 the eyeore sign for years and couldnt see it cause it was so dark up there. Then the last time wewent wen my brother was trying to get me to see it, the guy working there shined a flasklight on it.I was sooo happy to hav finally seen it myself
In the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the counrty bear jamboree characters are in the room where pooh is eating hunny and there is hunny all over the walls. They are right above you right after you pass through the entrance to the hunny room and you leave the colorful hefalumps and woozles room. Every time I go I look up becase it is so cool to see.
So the country bear show is still going,but the other part that is now Winnie the pooh still has the heads? I was wondering about those heads 2:05. I still remember spotting the train,and the log fence near thunder ranch,this info is a trip.
The old train ride was called nature wonderland and took over after they took out the burro and wagon tours. I believe they changed it because they wanted a more adventurous attraction for the guests. Not sure though, I would of loved to go on it.
These video's are great. I believe, however, that the steam pump train engines in the queue for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad were from "The Great Locomotive Chase". Though I expect they might have been used in "Hot Lead and Cold Feet" as well. There is a plaque under the engine that explains it.
I'm a military history buff and I get a big laugh at how the WWII German Army license plate on the truck with the "WH" (Wehrmacht Heer) prefix sticks out like a sore thumb. At least to me it does. The mining town at the Big Thunder Mountain ride is not the original mining town from the old Mine Train ride. I saw the current one under construction when the Big Thunder ride was built.
Tony Baxter of Walt Disney Imagineering (who oversaw the Indiana Jones Adventure) said in a presentation that the jeep in front of the show building was from the first movie. (I believe he mentioned that the jeep needed weatherproofing.) I still have a recording of this presentation somewhere.
Here in WDW we still have Swiss Family, Country Bear Jamboree, And we have a resort called Fort Wilderness! Lol I stayed there too. But this is very interesting. Could you do one for WDW?
tecnically the old rides still exist like the anamatronics from splash mountain were used in america sings! so it may seem like disneyland has changed , but small fragments exist in our memories and on rides
Palanthol says: why do you even care what the past was of disneyland (?) I say: Some of us who grew up with these old things like to know that they remain in this way in the parks. Some of us, who are mature and still love the memories, appreciate learning history of the parks. My children love knowing about this stuff too. In my opinion, the past of Disneyland was, in many ways, superior to now.
Its not depressing. Its a sign of renewal and change. A theme park, a good theme park anyway, is going to be around for a long time and its going to need constant updating, reinvigoration, and breaths of fresh life. As time goes on, Disneyland has to evolve and change to fit the demands of the times or you won't have a popular active park representative of the characters and themes everyone loves now, you'll just have long forgotten memories that are part of our history not our present.
i havent been on the newer finding nemo sub ride. i wonder if they still have some of the old stuff from the old submarine ride in there? it's cool they kept the three heads up in the old country bear jamboree. when i first saw them i was about 3 or 4 and they scared me really bad, because i knew they were supposed to be dead and they were rolling their eyes around and talking. now im old and i dont like change. i wish disneyland was how i remembered it as a kid, but (continued)
OMG They're remodeling Tarzan's Treehouse AGAIN. I have a friend who works at Disney (used to fly as Tinkerbell during the fireworks show before only men were allowed to do it) and she tells me pretty much everything.
literrally broke my heart this year going to tom sawyers island and seeing that the fort wilderness has been removedish...well just closed off... sad day.
from what i herd it's begin taken in to be refrabrished (excuse my lanage there), i can't blame them for doing so, the ride was one of walt disney's favorites, and the train that was on the shore along with it's cars are said to be the last of the ride.
Walt's Barn up in Los Angeles save the main train engine and cars that were found along the Rivers of America before it's refurb. They're currently being restored
@pfisher101 The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse has been gone from Disneyland since 1999, but still remains in Walt Disney World in Florida, Disneyland Paris, and in Disneyland Tokyo.
When I use to go on tom Sawyers Island, we use to shoot the guns up top on the fort. Some idiots were messing around up there and removed there own fingers. -.- they should of kept the fort open and just took out the guns.
@victorbrunswick You are incorrect, sir. The original mining town from Nature's Wonderland was slightly moved and the buildings were pushed closer together. The mining town is called Rainbow Ridge and was kept as an homage to the old attraction. Look closely at pics from the old ride and compare them to the town in Big Thunder Mountain... it is the same town.
I used to watch these back in 2008...God I can't believe it still exists
Bro I’m still here watching this
When I went to Disney world in 09 I got to experience some great nostalgia with the country bears. It was nice to see that again after all those years.
It's a bit creepy to see the heads inside of the Winnie the Pooh ride. They're there in the shadows, smiling. Finally saw them a few weeks ago. So cool.
I really wonder what Disneyland will look like years from now... hopefully the beautiful old school charm will still remain.
Well...........
Oh the nostalgia! Upper-middle class white kids like me are sure to love this video!
2:06 last time I went to Disneyland I saw those heads. It was cool!
This video rocks! I love the footage of both old and new Disneyland stuff!!!!
My grandpa went to this last year and was so sad and depressed to see the park changed so much and was tough to see all the old rides he remembered was, just remnents he was there on back in the 60's and 70's with my mom.
I loved the Tiki Room! We threw a drink on a projector in Adventure through inner space and blew it up! LOL
Great video! The Swiss Family Robinson tree house was always one of my favorites as a kid.

brings back memories of things i remember when i first went in the early 70's

As Walt Disney said "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world."
I don't know if this is true or not but apparently America Sings closed down because someone (Deborah Stone) got crushed between the rotating walls.
Disneyland changes. It has to. It's part of what makes Disneyland so great but i've always admired that when they take out an attraction, there's always some nods to what used to be there. As long as Disneyland remembers it's past, it's never lost

Wellllll.... It's nice knowing that Oswald is enjoying these forgotten rides in Wasteland... (Epic Mickey reference
And of course there's the microscope from the "adventure thru innerspace" at the beginning of Star tours.

+Sebizzar they should bring back the Country Bear Jamboree I heard Disney lost the rights to Winnie the Pooh anyways it' sucked anyways that ride
Lol I like the Pooh ride idk why everyone hates it so much :( But yeah, the Country Bear Jamboree was unique!
I remember most of these rides. now I feel old.
omg ive been looking for the eeyire sign for 3 years and never found it this is great. thanks
the fact the such history is lost to time is truly sad. If they spent a little more money and brought back even half of what used to be there people would flood to see it to bring back sights and sounds from their childhood, hell even younger guys like me would love to see it just to take a trip back in time !

How cool that the tree the Treehouse was based on still exists. I guess there's no reason it wouldn't though.
It does. It makes me want to buy couches and new refrigerators into the wee hours of the morning all over again!

i told my parents about the heads in Pooh, we plan on going next year :D

I've recently been to that big tree in Anaheim. The houses in the background have been demolished and the tree has its own little park now. =3
@CosplayCore Disney world got rid of Swiss Family Tree House?? SOOOO glad I took my entire family through it last year. That was always one of my favorite attractions.

the mine train ride was nature's wonderland. in the water beside the tracks, automatronic fish still go every 15 seconds or so.
Love this Chris!!
I just faved it..
Forrest-Uriah and the GHOST Seekers

I loved the old Fort Wilderness
Yes Disney has been recycling for years...why throw i away when it's still good?
This is really great, very interesting!
it does sound like old sims music!! its all happy and orchestral!!
So the country bear show is still going,but the other part that is now Winnie the pooh still has the heads? I was wondering about those heads 2:05. I still remember spotting the train,and the log fence near thunder ranch,this info is a trip.
They closed down the fort? There was a secrect passage way from the fort to the river that was cool. Great montage, fun memories.
:O ive never been there but i love these they are very col for people like me who haven't been there thank you!!
the forgotten mine train ride and its rails always gives me the creeps
The old train ride was called nature wonderland and took over after they took out the burro and wagon tours. I believe they changed it because they wanted a more adventurous attraction for the guests. Not sure though, I would of loved to go on it.
Have not been there in 30 years. Going there would be like the Neil Diamond song "Brooklyn Roads" a song about how places have changed.
These video's are great. I believe, however, that the steam pump train engines in the queue for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad were from "The Great Locomotive Chase". Though I expect they might have been used in "Hot Lead and Cold Feet" as well. There is a plaque under the engine that explains it.

The mining town at the Big Thunder Mountain ride is not the original mining town from the old Mine Train ride. I saw the current one under construction when the Big Thunder ride was built.
Awesome dude! I'll look for those
Im at disneyland now! Gonna go look for that stuff
This is the music of the madhouse! For those trapped in the ever-downward spiral of insanity and foam-at-the-mouth gibbering.
Lol that was replaced with Pooh. I never went on it, I think I was too young. Then they replaced it. And Pooh is a fun ride too.
Tony Baxter of Walt Disney Imagineering (who oversaw the Indiana Jones Adventure) said in a presentation that the jeep in front of the show building was from the first movie. (I believe he mentioned that the jeep needed weatherproofing.) I still have a recording of this presentation somewhere.
I don't know if you want to make a note, but the train has been removed after the Rivers refurb. Though the tracks are still there.
Here in WDW we still have Swiss Family, Country Bear Jamboree, And we have a resort called Fort Wilderness! Lol I stayed there too. But this is very interesting. Could you do one for WDW?
did the mine train ride take place on the island? also do you know anything cool about the submarine voyage? i would love to know!
tecnically the old rides still exist like the anamatronics from splash mountain were used in america sings! so it may seem like disneyland has changed
, but small fragments exist in our memories and on rides
is like an archaelogical discovery old stuff that still exists
@AspenAxL thanks for the little brief history I would have never known about that. can people still go to these parks?
The cave that was over near where Splash Mountain, where the you can hear a bear sleeping, was that part of a ride or just theatrics
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that!

The "mine Trian" ride you guys are talking about was called "mine train through Nature's Wonderland"

did you know in Indy, that after the video room with the closed off artifact room, it says on the side: Deliver to Club Obi-Owan
The Indy truck was in the movie, the golf ball on the side post was for him to see where to whip
i havent been on the newer finding nemo sub ride. i wonder if they still have some of the old stuff from the old submarine ride in there? it's cool they kept the three heads up in the old country bear jamboree. when i first saw them i was about 3 or 4 and they scared me really bad, because i knew they were supposed to be dead and they were rolling their eyes around and talking. now im old and i dont like change. i wish disneyland was how i remembered it as a kid, but (continued)
That is soooooo cool!
A disneyland commercial played before I watched this
I just got back from Disneyland and found the 3 heads from the country bear janmborree! It's after the heffalumps and woozels scene.
Oh yeah-the music on this reminds me of the MUZACK that played in the background while prizes were shown and described on 1960s game shows!
What was Fort Wilderness exactly? Its been closed up for as long as I can remember, yet I've always been curious about it.
I live right next to that tree in Anaheim! :)
and i'm not saying the video was bad, i really liked it.
did they build the building over that eeyore sign?
its sooo weird how a lot of the old rides at Disneyland still run in Disney World
OMG They're remodeling Tarzan's Treehouse AGAIN. I have a friend who works at Disney (used to fly as Tinkerbell during the fireworks show before only men were allowed to do it) and she tells me pretty much everything.
literrally broke my heart this year going to tom sawyers island and seeing that the fort wilderness has been removedish...well just closed off... sad day.
ok i have looked so many times and i still can not find them but are the guys from the country bears still in the winnie ride??
they changed a lot in disneyland ... I WANT THE VINTAGE DISNEYLAND BACK!!!!!!
cant believe this video showed up on my feed, on 2007 i went to Disneylands Grad Nite haha how the park has chnged since then.
The Mine Train is no longer there on the shore of The River Of America. It disappeared about a year or so ago.
from what i herd it's begin taken in to be refrabrished (excuse my lanage there), i can't blame them for doing so, the ride was one of walt disney's favorites, and the train that was on the shore along with it's cars are said to be the last of the ride.
Walt's Barn up in Los Angeles save the main train engine and cars that were found along the Rivers of America before it's refurb. They're currently being restored
your comment made me dig through my garage and install all my old Sims CD's
this is awesome
Very nice video!
You should do some disneyworld ones!
so what do you prefer more, disneyland or disneyworld?
@pfisher101 The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse has been gone from Disneyland since 1999, but still remains in Walt Disney World in Florida, Disneyland Paris, and in Disneyland Tokyo.
Was the forgotten mine train an a attraction?
When I use to go on tom Sawyers Island, we use to shoot the guns up top on the fort. Some idiots were messing around up there and removed there own fingers. -.- they should of kept the fort open and just took out the guns.
@prettynpinkgurlz there's really a video of it? because the only one I saw was just some fancy editing to get the feel of how it looked
Why did they close the Disneyland version of the Country Bear Jamboree, but not the Disney World one?
shows how much disney cares about the enviornment and leftovers
when i went to disneyland and went on the indiana jones ride we asked where the eyeore sign was and she showed us it it was really cool
@victorbrunswick You are incorrect, sir. The original mining town from Nature's Wonderland was slightly moved and the buildings were pushed closer together. The mining town is called Rainbow Ridge and was kept as an homage to the old attraction. Look closely at pics from the old ride and compare them to the town in Big Thunder Mountain... it is the same town.
when did the country bear jamboree get taken away? doesnt Disneyworld still have thiers?
Why do your videos make me cry? :'c
