Movieland Wax Museum: Poseidon Adventure

The Movieland Wax Museum (Buena Park, California) was the greatest of its kind. All we have left are our memories and some videos and photos. I miss it! Enjoy the Poseidon Adventure props and wax figures (Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Carol Lynley, and Stella Stevens)

Gene Hackman was a wax figure? I can die happy now!

Ha ha! :)

they need to build these places on the east coast, more people and more fans .Hollywood is too close to the fans to appreciate it.

Excellent point! Yeah, I bet people in other cities would have appreciated the Movieland Wax Museum a lot more than here in the L.A. area. I guess it was taken for granted, which is sad.

why did it close?

[fun4eileen]

Unfortunately, the museum closed due to poor attendance in its later years.

This clip really does not do justice to just how detailed and huge the Poseidon Adventure set was. The Star Trek set, the Ben Hur set, and more were big and detailed, the costumes and figures extraordinary in how accurate and life-like they were.

where was this place?

hey!

All the figures, props, and sets were sold in a big Movieland auction. I'm not sure who bought these figures. But I hope they are in a good place. I wanted to buy the Poseidon set, but I had no place to put it! :-)
