by The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network

subscriber exclusive

about

Len Testa & Jim Hill take a look at how Disneyland’s original version of Tomorrowland stumbled coming out of the gate. More importantly, what Walt did during the first five years his family fun park was open in an effort to shore up this side of the operation.

lyrics

Over the course of this show, listeners will learn about:

How many months before Disneyland Park was slated to open to the public did Walt finally decide to go forward with the construction of Tomorrowland

Which ride was promoted to Guests visiting Disneyland Park (It even had its very own billboard erected at the edge of Tomorrowland) but ultimately never opened due to excessive noise levels

Why did Walt insist that Monsanto’s House of the Future be a walk-thru attraction

Which Mountain View, CA-based company built most of the ride vehicles & systems used at Disneyland Park in the mid-1950s / early 1960s

What sort of attraction did the Imagineers originally want to build as their follow-up to Disneyland’s version of Space Mountain
