Hey! Nice video series! May i ask you where can i get high res versions of the pictures you used to show the old skyway and the old band stands? I love old kodachrome pictures! and i try to collect as many digital copies !
@auraticcharizard No. It was closed way after those incidents to make way for the Rocket Rods. Rocket Rods closed only 2 years after it opened because it was so badly made.
@madameforce I know! I love going to Rogers Gardens! I've seen and and sat inside the old Disney bandstand :) It's kind of hidden in the back of Rogers Gardens but it's not too hard to find.
All who have voted here - please help us! My daughter and I are in an essay contest to win a shot at a trip to Antarctica through SeaWorld--can you vote? It's very close in the voting and just a couple of days remain - if we go we'll create an amazing video from there - PROMISE - it's fast and easy - more Forgotten Disneyland to come soon!
These are very imformative, I checked out a book at the library and read about the earlier attractions and thanks to you, I've learned what happened to some of these past items.
Wow, brings back memories of the Disneyland I knew in my childhood. Can't wait for part 4, even though it's been almost 3 years. Re: the comments, before Star Tours, there was a ride called Adventure Thru Inner Space.
No more Alice in Wonderland ride, no more Mr. Toad's Wild ride, no more Skyway, no more Rocket To the Moon, no more Tom Sawyer's Island. and the rest... man it's been a long time... :( Thanks for posting reminders of the past.
The Alice and Mr. Toad rides are still at Disneyland. And technically, Tom Sawyer Island is still around, they just gave it a slight name change and some new additions. :)
TutDtUt - Whew. That's great to hear. I always enjoyed those particular rides as a kid and as an adult. I haven't been there in about 10 years so it's been a while. Thanks for that info. :)
You probably heard something about the loss of the original Alice In Wonderland & Mr. Toad facades. Both were part of an extensive decoration of Fantasyland that is still mentioned sometimes on nostalgia sites. But if you were there 10 years ago, you would have seen the new facades b/c the remodeling was done a long time ago. Still, there are references to both rides that make it sound as if they're not there anymore...which can be confusing. They've changed so much at D-land!
i love to see all the old things from the past :) it shows that everything from along time ago still exists today somewhere hidden like walt disney :)
Great Video Love this collection please submit IV, on a seperate note why did they need to get rid of these things that are such a part of our childhood and want are children to enjoy them also(why the Fort on the island that makes no sense)Thanks again hope all is well
actually, reader134 is right, before Honey,I S T K, there was that ride name where the rider was shrunk. What I remember is shrinking to see large snow crystals.
a fun fact is the skyway station is now the landing zone for tinklebell when she takes flight over the castle. but the take off area is on top of the Matterhorn.
Actually thats incorrect. That tower is special made for Tinkerbelle. The exit from the towers is down a large ladder and into backstage area, restricted to guests. It now contains a fake tree on top, that carries tinkerbelles new rigging. A winch that that pulls the carriage from the matterhorn to the tower, and one in matterhorn that pulls her back up. Tinker Belle as flown from matterhorn since 1961. The skyway opened in 1956, if both were running, it couldnt have been the station.
My friend used to fly as Tink during the fireworks shows, but that was before Disney started only letting the men fly. There's a full-on costume and plastic head that they wear to make them look like a female Tinkerbelle.
Jessica Jackson, Alice and there is someone else that do it now. They have both Male and Female tinks. Currently there are 2 tinkerbelles and 1 tinkerboy
Love the planter outside of Toad's, I held a comp about a year ago to find remnants of the skyway and photograph them (not the alpine haus as that's too easy) and your photo of the planter would have won hands down.
WHEN!!!!!
