And at a time where Disneyland Park was struggling with its hourly ride capacity, taking the Mark Twain Riverboat offline for months at a time (Back in 1955 — had the second highest ride capacity at Disneyland Park, 1500 Guests per hour) wasn’t an option. Walt had been able to call John H. Harris back in the Summer of 1955 and borrow all of Ice Capades Disney character costumes for that live TV special which would air on ABC. But by the Fall of that same year, this just wasn’t an option anymore. That year’s edition of the Ice Capades was back on the road at that point. And that touring ice show needed all of these Disney character costumes for its nightly performances.

Disney Regional Entertainment broke ground on an 80,000 square foot version of DisneyQuest in Philadelphia in February of 1999. But after a cellar hole is dug for this five story structure was dug in the Spring of that same year, work slows down on site as Disney Corporate begins to lose confidence in its indoor radio flyer wagon theme park concept. Philly locals begin to refer to the now-abandoned worksite as the Disney Hole. ETF Ride Systems provides attractions to destinations and parks around the world, including Hotel Transylvania, a dark ride at Dream Island, Moscow, and Genting SkyWorlds at Resorts World Genting, Malaysia.
Who were used to making things that would look good in front of a camera, rather than be practical for a teenager to wear as they worked a shift at a hot Southern Californian theme park. In four & a half months’ time, the length of the Mark Twain riverboat was changed from 90 feet to 105 feet. This Frontierland attraction’s ride capacity jumped from 125 passengers per trip to 300 passengers per trip. And all mention of seeing a cotton plantation along the banks of the Rivers of America from which Uncle Remus could be heard singing. Mind you, this version of a description of that Frontierland attraction was written on September 3, 1954.

In fact, it might even be time for that stand-alone WDW attraction to get a new name. All rights reservedRealizing that they may need more than pirate-themed adventures to get people to pay to take a boat ride out to the middle of Bay Lake, the Imagineers also create enclosures for more than 600 tropical birds.
Now remember how we’d just been talking about how Walt — in the late 1950s — in response to the popularity of the Tomorrowland Autopia built two more Autopias inside of Disneyland Park. The DCA version had to fit in with Paradise Pier’s pre-established design esthetic (i.e., which was “a tribute to Southern California’s amusement piers of the 1920s & 1930s). So that show building was deliberately designed to look like a turn-of-the-century seaside structure that would then fit right in with this area’s carnival-like atmosphere. Which is why — on August 19th of that year — the East Coast version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire — Play It!
