Podcasts about Cranium Command

As theme park fans who are chronically online, a fascinating story that has always eluded us with a conclusion was the disappearance of Buzzy - an audio-animatronic who was a central character in "Cranium Command" at Epcot's Wonders of Life Pavilion. There is a new documentary currently on the "Film Festival Circuit" that unearths a little more about Urban Exploration, Abandoned Locations at Disney, and maybe even a little bit more about the disappearance of Buzzy. Luckily for us, we are joined on the podcast this week by the documentary's director, Joshua Bailey, to learn more. The next chance to see Stolen Kingdom is at the Florida Film Festival in Orlando on April 11.

In this interview we talk about his history, his early Imagineering experiences, and some of his projects for Tokyo Disneyland. Cha-cha-cha, it's the Progress City Radio Hour!

Hear the story of EPCOT's Cranium Command with Imagineer Jerry Rees and Directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale.      

We are heading back into the golden dome which is known as Wonders of Life. Over the months, we have taken you through many different episodes all about Wonders of Life including: Body Wars/Making of Me, the pavilion and sponsorship, the original concept, and finally the heated debate on the Magic Kingdom toll plaza sign. As we continue into this amazing pavilion, this episode we decided to take a deep dive into the classic show, Cranium Command. We could not have done this episode or concluded with Wonders of Life without involving some guest stars. This is a huge deal and we are super excited to welcome @bunny_wars and @DreamFinderGuy. Brian welcomes our two guests into the episode and we get a brief history of their EPCOT love, Wonders of Life experiences, and also how they are preserving the history of Wonders of Life. As we get started, make sure as you listen you check out the Wonders of Life Archive. Bunny and DFG have an amazing passion for the pavilion and also Cranium Command. They have spent hours upon hours digging up old resources, history, and tons more. You are going to really enjoy everything they have to offer throughout this episode. As a duo, Bunny & DFG get us started by going through the preshow of Cranium Command. We get to hear all about this attraction from their vast archive, which includes cast member interviews and pulling facts from old documents in their archive. The history of Cranium Command is very interesting in how it changed throughout its development. DFG does a great job explaining how the versions changed when exchanging hands between Disney and Colossal Pictures, which is very interesting. We also get into scripts and movie format of the show that was never made. Wonders of Life had many of the attractions tucked away, Cranium Command was no different as the pavilion tried to promote discovery. As you look at the history of this show, the entryway did change over the years to draw people in. We continue on throughout the show, going nearly line by line and scene by scene. The celebrity connection on Cranium Command was one of the most beloved parts and we dig into each of those. Cranium Command is such an amazing show experience, which makes this episode nearly two hours. Bunny & DFG have been amazing throughout all of this, offering us facts and info that none of us have heard before. Make sure you listen to this one twice; the details are immense and you are going to want to take notes for your next viewing of the attraction. We hope you have enjoyed this visit back to Wonders of Life and throughout this journey inside Cranium Command.

Some of the greatest gems in Disney's theme parks are not so easily seen or known. A term given to these treasures is "sleeper" attractions. We talk about what this term means, share an example from Epcot's Cranium Command, and then set sail across the globe to see examples of great "sleeper" attractions in Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, Shanghai Disney, and Tokyo Disney Resort. You may have never heard about these attractions before, but once you become familiar with them, you may never want to visit these parks without checking them out.

This week, we continue our Dew-fueled nightmare with a history quiz before Scottye invites guests to visit his MTN DEW (tm tm tm) attraction known as _The Shame Egg, located in the Hangover section of Party Town.

For Scott Curtis, Disney fans hold a special place in his thoughts. Mostly because they’ve well… been in his head. As a child actor, Scott played both Bobby and the voice of Buzzy in Epcot’s much-loved, now-defunct Cranium Command inside Wonders of Life. After hearing of the theft of the Buzzy animatronic, Scott reached out to WDWNT, hoping to help spread the word and maybe get the little pilot back home. He also chats with Nathan about his career guesting on shows like "Newhart" and "The Golden Girls," being DJ Tanner’s first kiss on Full House, and getting a change to touch fingers with E.T. himself.

Loser Patrick Allen Spikes, 24, from Orlando, Florida former Disney World employee Patrick Allen Spikes is accused of stealing $7,000 in memorabilia and was arrested after posting photos of the missing items online, according to authorities. Patrick became a suspect when his Twitter profile included pictures of valuable items two months after they were swiped from the theme park in Orlando, Florida, according to the arrest affidavit. He became combative when questioned about the photos of “Buzzy,” a character missing from the “Cranium Command” attraction at Epcot, leading to an initial charge of resisting arrest, the records show. A search warrant of his home and phone then turned up photos of stolen Disney wigs, skirts and jackets, according to the document. He is accused of also using his Disney employee ID to access underground tunnels to get to Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion, where some of the costumes were stolen. Patrick has been charged him with burglary, grand theft, and dealing in stolen property.   Winner Braxton Moral, a 17 year old from Kansas 17 year old Braxton graduated from high school on Sunday… and now he has his eyes set on Harvard — where he will graduate in just over a week.

The Polynesian episode has been teased, discussed and in the works ever since Episode 1. How has researched, re-researched and compiled so much information, we couldn't cram it all into just one episode. So for part I, we discuss the original concepts and ideas involved with the Polynesian.How gives us some of the crazy and some of the real ideas that actually came to be. The Polynesian, being a themed resort, was not normal back in this era. Design is discussed, including the idea of grass shacks in Florida and how these were constructed. The infamous Chest of Drawers is brought back to the forefront, but the Polynesian does things a bit differently with US Steel. How also goes into capacities and details planned in the late 60s, which is crazy to think all of this was planned in that era. You really need to listen to this one twice to take in all the details.

Join Doug aka DisneyParkHopper for another look back at a classic EPCOT Attraction that has since closed its doors. As usual, you will get behind the scenes facts and great audio from the pavilion and attractions inside. One of my favorite and most underrated Disney attractions, Cranium Command, is featured on this show: From Doug: In this show, we take a virtual meander through a now extinct pavilion - and it's not Horizons. This pavilion is used for special events and exhibits, but its original form was truly one of fun and learning. So, come with me as we visit Goofy About Health, Body Wars, Cranium Command and others in this virtual meander through the now extinct pavilion from Epcot Center - The Wonders Of Life.

Today, as promised last week, we take a look into the wondeful World of Motion! We start things off with a brief, summarized history of World of Motion. We then take a listen to the source audio ride-through of the ride. The quality of it isn't that good, I tried to up the bit rate, but the quality still isn't incredibly good. And then we briefly look at Test Track, with some history & a live recording of it, recorded by moi down in Walt Disney World this past June. Finally, we return the Wonders of Life, for the 1st of 3 source audio pieces I found, this one being from Cranium Command. Including the pre-show & main show! And stay tuned before next week's show, with the first in this season, of the Corny Christmas Season!

Woot! I'm back after a short haitus in Tallahassee (it was a good time if you're wondering...) WONDERS OF LIFE IS OPEN!!!!!!! So of course on day one (Sunday) I was there. Come along and learn where babies come from in the Making of Me, and then after you make a baby, 12 years later that baby grows up to be a child of the 80s in Cranium Command! Ok so the two attractions aren't really connected, but in my world they totally are! I learned a lot in the Making of Me... I'm so immature! Special guest is DrDuck and family from the DPN forums! (Great people!!!) As always, have fun!
