Podcasts about western river expedition

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, "The Wildest Ride In The Wilderness", has been delighting Disney fans at Disneyland since 1979, with other versions created for Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. Imagineer Tony Baxter, carrying forward an idea from Imagineer Marc Davis called Thunder Mesa and Western River Expedition, led a team to create this pivot storytelling roller coaster, setting a new standard for Disney mountain attractions (previous ones included Space Mountain and Matterhorn Bobsleds) that have resulted in such iconic attractions as Expedition Everest and Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars.   In this episode, we discuss the history, story, mythology, lore, and Imagineering details for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris.

Lang geleden in een koninkrijk hier ver vandaan, werd het plan gesmeed voor wat de ultieme Disney attractie had moeten worden: Western River Expediton. In deze aflevering van D-Tales kijken Michiel en Ralf terug op de ontwikkeling, de beleving en de erfenis van deze attractie (en themagebied), die helaas nooit het levenslicht heeft gezien.   Meekijken doe je hier: https://youtu.be/IrNCPZRwCAY?si=6XN-m9kOMQ7DyZiHSteun ons en word Donalteur!: https://www.d-log.nl/steun-ons/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do all the characters in Phantom Canyon look so familiar? In this episode of Distory, we mosey on into the town of Phantom Canyon where playful spooks are having a (western-themed) swinging wake. As we inch through this fascinating alternative to the Haunted Mansion graveyard scene, we compare Marc Davis's and Mary Blair's original concept art for Western River Expedition to what made it into Phantom Manor, find some familiar faces, and discover stories from Victorian literature that inspired this spooky netherworld. After telling a few ghost stories of our own and flying through the vortex, we escape the manor only to find ourselves in Boot Hill cemetery, which has its own sordid history laced with scandal and mystery.

The best Disney attraction was one that was never built, but did leave pieces of its legacy in almost all of the Disney Parks. In this episode of Distory, we discover the planned (but never created) Western River Expedition and its heartbreakingly incredible home of Thunder Mesa, the missing mountain of Frontierland in Disney World's Magic Kingdom. We'll walk step-by-step though Marc Davis's concept for this ride, as well as where some of those concepts ended up when the attraction was scrapped.

Listener beware! You're in for a scare! Or at least a semi-heartbreaking trip down Imagineering's memory lane which includes some of the best attractions designed that never came to fruition! In this first part of what may turn into a multi-part series, we discuss WESTCOT CENTER at Disneyland Resort, Beastly Kingdom at Animal Kingdom, Disneyland's Enchanted Snow Palace, and Magic Kingdom's Western River Expedition! The greatest take-away from this episode is probably that Marc Davis is not only one of the most prolific Disney Cast Members to have ever been, but also the one that got the shaft the most in terms of amazing attraction designs that were shelved. At least in this episode, he really gets the Imagineering version of the short straw! As you listen along, check out these highlights from our recaps! Here's a ton of photos of the plan for WESTCOT Center thanks to Yesterland.com: Beastly Kingdom has some GREAT video content which can be seen here: While you're here, be sure to give Beastly The Unicorn a follow! Next stop is the Enchanted Snow Palace! Check out this amazing Marc Davis art courtesy of D23! And finally, thanks for Passport2Dreams, we are able to take a peek at some of the great work Marc Davis did for Western River Expedition along with Robert's personal photos from D23 when they had the model on display! In doing the research for this episode, we discovered a bevy of other attractions that never were! Is this a topic you'd like to hear us revisit? Which of these are you most disappointed about never having come to fruition? Let us know in the comments below!

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - EPCOT is our destination this episode as we head to The Land pavilion to ride  Living With The Land.  John B. deHaas is joining us once again and he tells us of the time he almost worked on this attraction.  The audio quality on this one is especially good.  A must listen.   Recorded on August 14, 2017. The attraction audio recorded for this episode is available exclusively to the Saturday Morning Media Patron Patron.  Support the show and get fun Bonus content over at http://www.patreon.com/saturdaymorningmedia INTRO TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode, by request, we head back to EPCOT in Walt Disney World to ride The Land pavilion’s signature attraction, Living With The Land.  As of this recording, this attraction has a sponsor as it it presented by Chiquita.  The guide map describes this attraction in the following manner, “Sail through the greenhouses of The Land to see nine-pound lemons and more.”  Seriously, that’s how this attraction is described in the guide map.  The Thrill Level describes this attraction as being a Slow Ride.  Before we go check out those nine-pound lemons, here are five fast facts about Living with the Land. 1. Living with the Land is an EPCOT opening day attraction having opened with the park on October 2, 1982.  When it opened the attraction opened, it was called Listen to the Land but the name was changed in 1993. 2. There are 35 animatronics in this attraction including monkeys, buffalo, goats a dog and a rooster to name a few.  Perhaps to drive home the thought of living with the natural environment, there are no human animatronics on the attraction. 3.  The audio animatronics seen during the American Prairie sequence of the ride, we actually built before EPCOT even opened.  They were originally meant to be part of a Magic Kingdom attraction called the Western River Expedition, but that ride was scrapped in favor of building Pirates of the Caribbean instead. 4.  As you pass by the farmhouse, you’ll see the number ’82’ painted on the mailbox.  This is a small tribute to the year EPCOT opened, 1982. 5.  When the attraction originally opened, each boat was captained by a cast member who took you on the tour, these were later replaced by a pre=recorded narration.  Also, the attraction used to feature the classic song, “Listen To The Land” written by Bob Moline.  Though the song is no longer featured on the ride, an instrumental version of it plays in the land pavilion several times a day. And now, let’s ride Living with the Land.  Joining me today is John B. deHaas and after the ride audio we’ll give you our shouts on this classic attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we are about to experience Living with the Land at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT!
