The History of Disney World's Own Telephone Company
Walt Disney World was a massive undertaking. It required Disney to tackle many of the logistical elements of the resort itself, and that included the telephone system. So Walt Disney Productions formed and ran their own high-tech cutting edge telecom, Vista-United Telecommunications.

Why Were Scales Amusements?
Просмотров 18 тыс.2 года назад
A few weeks back my buddy Ed texted me a photo of one of those big old scales that you might come across at a boardwalk and asked “Why are these popular? Why do people pay a quarter to weigh themselves?” It was a great question. I had seen these countless times over the years and while it seemed obvious that they were an older amusement, I still wondered why they were ever an amusement to begin...
Carousel of Progress: There Goes Schwartz In His Hupmobile
Просмотров 17 тыс.3 года назад
Growing up I always knew that Schwartz’s Hupmobile was an automobile, but I always just assumed that “Hupmobile” was slang. You know, just a folksy way of saying car. As it turns out, I was wrong, and the Hupmobile was a very real brand of cars that was popular in its day… until it wasn’t. New here?

The Real Fort Behind The Pirates of the Caribbean

Disney World’s version of Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t the first version of the ride, and it certainly isn’t the best version either.

How Much Solar Energy Does Disney World Generate?

Predicting Disney's Impact in the '80s

In 1967 Disney hired a group named Economic Research Associates to research the economic impact that Disney World might have on Central Florida.

The Many Lives of North Carolina's Land of Oz

In the summer of 1975, the Land of Oz amusement park was doing pretty well for itself. The Wizard of Oz themed attraction turned a nice little profit while entertaining over 120,000 guests. Yet just a few months later the park would be forced to closed before being ransacked and set on fire. It wasn’t a tornado, but it was still a pretty rough time for Oz. New here?

    i have to disagree, for one land aquisition is likely a large part of other monorails costs and disney avoids that, also while busses are cheaper to buy staffing so many busses is incredibly pricey making monorail or better yet a new automated light metro the better option.

    I liked the park much more when they were more based off of the books than the MGM movie 10:15 that's the issue here, Oz is a series of books and not just one movie. Maybe if they had been bold enough to adapt parts of the other books like Tiktok

    I'm honestly tempted to wonder if that line was something Gene Shepherd had a hand in; I don't know, it feels like a reference he'd make. I don't know if he had much influence over the script or not, or if he was just involved in the Carousel revamp as an actor.

    I was at my local park and there were some 🦇 houses hanging in the trees. I hear 🦇 can eat mosquitoes so Disney may have some of those as well- just like they use cats for the rodents. Maybe Disney has some of those too and use them like they can use feral cats to keep the pesky mice at bay.

I tried to hope that one day the franchise I love since I was like four years old is dead because of people love it and think it’s some of it’s good and people hate it with a reason to be angry Because this no offense there some people are different. I know that was the reason but not the same as it was once I give up both the universe films getting better but still Star Wars is a little bit just good but still not graveyard right now and I swear I’m gonna love it when it gets better and I stop hearing people hating it, and just pretending to love it, wake up

    At Mickey's Toontown in Disneyland, inside Mickey's House is a radio set to the local station W.A.C.K.Y. At random intervals, the station broadcasts a news report on a baseball game presumably between Toontown and Mudville, as it mentions the Mighty Casey striking out again, while Donald Duck scores the winning run (Donald apparently hit the baseball so hard that he gave it two black eyes).

    Great piece of Tampa history ! Going back in the late 1940s, Super Test had sponsored a husband-wife team, Daisy Mae & Old Brother Charlie, who along with their band provided country music every morning on WDAE radio. Later, after the team had divorced, Super-Test continued to sponsor Daisy Mae on WHBO into the mid-1960s. Meanwhile, Super-Test had expanded into the deep South, and as late as the 1970s had a gas station operating in Mount Vernon, KY, right outside of country music park Renfro Valley (where Daisy Mae & Charlie had once worked). The gas stations in the Tampa area were later sold to Eastern Oil and Quik-Pep, who continued to sponsor Daisy Mae for awhile. Again, thanks much for posting this interesting video !
