            Disneyland Opening Day in color @ Disneyland Main Street Cinema RARE NEW

            Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

            Disneyland Opening Day in color @ Disneyland Main Street Cinema RARE NEW Disneyland Park was opened to the public on July 18, 1955 with only 20 attractions. A special “International Press Preview” event was held on Sunday, July 17, 1955, which was only open to invited guests and the media. The Special Sunday events, including the dedication, were televised nationwide and anchored by three of Walt Disney’s friends from Hollywood: Art Linkletter, Bob Cummings, and Ronald Reagan. ABC broadcast the event live on its network. The event did not go smoothly. The park was overcrowded as the by-invitation-only affair was plagued with counterfeit tickets. Only 11000 people were expected to show up, but a staggering 28154 was the eventual population. Movie stars and other famous figures scheduled to come every two hours showed up all at once. All major roads nearby were empty. The temperature was an unusually high 101 °F (38 °C), and a plumbers’ strike left many of the park’s drinking fountains dry. Disney was given a choice of having working fountains or running toilets and he chose the latter. This generated negative publicity since Pepsi sponsored the park’s opening; disappointed guests believed the inoperable fountains were a cynical way to sell soda. The asphalt that had been poured just that morning was so soft that ladies’ high-heeled shoes sank into it. Vendors ran out of food. A gas leak in Fantasyland caused Adventureland, Frontierland, and Fantasyland to close for the

              Soarin’ over California BEST! HD IN FOCUS! @ Disneyland DCA Disney California Adventure EPCOT

              Sunday, April 10th, 2011

              The attraction takes 87 guests at a time on a s… Added: November 20, 2007 The attraction takes 87 guests at a time on a simulated hang glider tour of the Golden State, flying over San Francisco, Redwood Creek, Napa Valley, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite National Park, Palm Springs (actually shot in nearby La Quinta over the golf course at PGA West), Camarillo, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego, Malibu and Los Angeles. The ride ends with a flight over Disneyland at Christmas, with a Christmas parade traveling down Main Street, USA, decorations on Sleeping Beauty Castle, and fireworks. Ride design: The vehicle (called a carriage) consists of three rows of seats under a wing-like canopy. After guests have been safely restrained in the vehicle, the canopy descends and a cantilever system lifts the chairs forward and into the air with the guests’ feet dangling free. The vehicle is lifted into a huge IMAX dome movie screen onto which scenes of California are projected. Since the vehicle is moved forward into the dome, the effect is such that guests can only see the images projected on the screen and are given the sensation of flight. To enhance the illusion of flight, subtle vertical movements of the seats are synchronized to the film. According to cast members who operate this attraction, the carriages do not move horizontally. Sensations of horizontally are created via a combination of vertical carriage movement and the turning image on the screen. In addition

                Little Mermaid Ride Update 3/16/11 @ Disney California Adventure DCA Disneyland

                Friday, April 8th, 2011

                view construction updates, and an inside look at the plans and the attraction model. The attraction will be set underwater. At Disney California Adventure, the building is modeled after a 20th-century aquarium. The Palace of Fine Arts replica from Golden Dreams will remain but redecorated with an Ariel statue on top.[9] A garden and water play area is planned to accompany the ride; it will be located next to the show building. In the Magic Kingdom, the building will be featured in a recreation of Prince Eric’s castle. Guests will walk across a bridge over a pond that resembles a beach with the castle on it. A statue of Ariel doing the famous pose in Part of Your World (reprise) will be featured on the left of the bridge. To the left of the attraction is an entrance labeled “Ariel’s Grotto”, suggesting that the meet-and-greet with Ariel will be moved closer to the attraction. [edit]Ride The attraction will be a dark ride, similar to Peter Pan’s Flight and Snow White’s Scary Adventures, but it will have an Omnimover ride system like the one currently in use at the Haunted Mansion. The ride will transport guests under the sea and will focus on many of the major scenes and musical numbers from the movie. Guests will ride in cars themed to resemble large seashells; one car designed for use by wheelchair guests will be themed to resemble Triton’s chariot. Characters will include Ariel, Prince Eric, King Triton, Sebastian, Flounder, and Ursula.[10] Scuttle will narrate the story

                  It’s a Small World Holiday complete ride through @ Disneyland fantasyland

                  Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

                  Since 1997, Disneyland has featured “it’s a small world – happy holiday” during the end-of-the-year Christmas and holiday season. The attraction is closed in late-October to receive temporary holiday decorations inside and outside, and reopens in early-November before the start of the busy holiday tourist season. The overlay has proved very popular and at one point during its run needed the use of FASTPASS machines (which have since been removed). The attraction is the same boat voyage through many regions of the world, though the main theme song is not played fully. Instead, the children sing “Jingle Bells” and a bridge of “Deck the Halls” in addition to the main theme. The holiday overlay has since been implemented at Tokyo Disneyland with similar decorations, if not more, than the Disneyland version. From now on the Disney characters and The Spirit of America room (formerly the covered transition room) are joining in the “it’s a small world – happy holiday” at Disneyland. Disneyland Paris’s version used to add subtle decorations around the attraction and changed the music in the North American area to “Deck The Halls”. For the 2009 winter season, Disneyland Paris has added “it’s a small world celebration”, a variation of “it’s a small world – happy holiday” highlighting winter season frolic shared by people worldwide. It includes new costumes, lighting, sounds, decorations and uses the Disneyland (California) version “it’s a small world holiday” music – Jingle Bells

                      Pirates of the Caribbean ride 2002 (Complete) @ Disneyland

                      Thursday, March 31st, 2011

                      Originally envisioned in the late 1950s as a walk-through wax museum featuring pirates from history, the attraction evolved into a boat ride through complex show scenes filled with Audio-Animatronics characters after the 1964 New York World’s Fair, which brought about several advances in Disney’s theme park technologies. Instead, humorous sketches of fictional pirates by Imagineer Marc Davis inspired the animatronic diorama seen throughout the final attraction. Opening on March 18, 1967, Pirates of the Caribbean was Disneyland’s largest Audio-Animatronics project to date and was the last attraction Walt Disney was involved in designing. The portrait of the female pirate above the bar in the Crews Quarters scene is an original work by Davis. The pirate captain in the scene where captured women are auctioned as brides is a test bed for updates and developments to Audio-Animatronics technology; many innovations are tried on him first. As a result, his movements are far more lifelike and expressive than virtually any other Audio-Animatronics figure in all of Disneyland.disneyland disneyland disneyland disney’s california adventure disney’s california adventure adventureland tomorrowland fantasyland toontown magic kingdom animal epcot frontierland vintage retired yesterland old home movies great moments lincoln main street usa cinema star tours space mountain honey i shrunk the audience captain eo peoplemover mission to mars america sings innoventions skyway autopia carousel

                              California Screamin’ complete ride @ DCA Disneyland Resort

                              Monday, February 28th, 2011

                              The white-by-day/glowing blue-by-night boardwalk-themed coaster was designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, and was built by Intamin AG. California Screamin’ is the 6th longest roller coaster in the world (2nd longest steel coaster in the United States), at 6072 feet (1850 m) long. It is also the longest ride with an inversion (since the loop has been removed from the 7000+’ Son of Beast). Its highest point is 120 feet (37 m) tall (36.5 m) followed by a 108-foot (33 m) drop. The appearance is such that it resembles a wooden coaster, despite clearly being a steel coaster. This coaster is more uncommon than most, as it uses Linear Induction Motors (LIMs), to launch the train up the first hill, replacing the traditional lift hill chain. The seaside launch ramp also sports a wave-machine that allows waves to crash alongside the rock base of the ramp as well as crashing up onto the trains before launch. This coaster is one of Disney’s fastest attractions, accelerating guests from zero to 59 miles per hour (95 km/h) in four seconds at the launch, and like Space Mountain and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster the roller coaster is set to music. California Screamin’ is the only inverting ride in the Disneyland Resort. This attraction offers both FASTPASS and Single Rider entrances. Disney has also announced that California Screamin’ will continue to operate as part of the 1.1 billion dollar rennovation of the park. On December 11, 2007, California Screamin’ was closed and its bunny hills were

                                Thursday, July 29th, 2010

                                Twilight Zone references- Rod Sterling’s opening lines and appearance in the introduction video during the queue– ” Tonight’s story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize is a maintanence service elevator, still in operation (and) waiting for you. We invite you if you dare to step aboard because in tonight’s episode, you are the star. And this elevator travels directly to…the Twilight Zone. ” are directly lifted from the episode It’s a Good Life. There is a display case in the exit hallway of the Tower Of Terror attraction at Disneyland that contains two items relating to the A Thing about Machines episode. One is a typewriter (with the GET OUT OF HERE FINCHLEY message); the card next to it reads “Almost Writes By Itself”. There is also an electric razor; its card reads “Has A Long Cord – Can Follow You Everywhere”. The queue at California Adventure features a reference to the Twilight Zone episode “Little Girl Lost.” Chalk marks on the wall are in the same place they were in the episode when trying to find where the portal to find the girl was. This can be found in the upper level of the boiler room next to the attraction warning signage. Periodically the girls voice can be heard calling out for help from the wall and from the radios around the boiler room. Outside the libraries at DCA, in the glass case adjacent to the doors there is a gold thimble accompanied by a card that reads, “Looking

                                Guests with visual disabilities are able to explore Walt Disney World theme parks through an enhanced Disney-designed device that provides detailed audio description of outdoor areas. Via an interactive audio menu, the newly enhanced Assistive Technology Device lets guests choose the type of information they would like to receive about outdoor areas, from architectural elements to the location of the nearest restroom. The Handheld Assistive Device is offered at no cost with a refundable deposit. Kid reporter Mindy Strater interviews Greg Johnson, technology coordinator for the Assistive Technology device; Larry Goldberg, director of Media Access Group at WGBH in Boston; and Jeanie, a visually impaired guest at Walt Disney World. Video shot and edited by Jimmy Strater.

Watch how Walt Disney Imagineers are encouraged by Horner as he dances his way throughout the World of Color. It’s a captivating and unique peek at how this nocturnal water magnificent show came to life.
