about
While waiting for Len Testa to return from Batuu, Jim Hill shares a story about the thrill ride that the Magic Kingdom almost got back in the early 2000s. One that took its inspiration from “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” and would have sent Guests through an erupted volcano aboard a transforming coaster
lyrics
Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:
• How the films of Ray Harryhausen inspired the sort of story that Don Hahn, Kirk Wise & Gary Trousdale wants to tell in their post- “Hunchback” picture
• The central design feature that the “Indiana Jones Adventure” at Disneyland Park and “Fire Mountain” at WDW’s Magic Kingdom were supposed to have shared
• The three other monsters that Milo Thatch & the Whitmore Expedition were supposed to have encountered far under the Earth’s surface as they made their way to Atlantis
• How the Imagineers were hoping that the construction of “Fire Mountain” would then finally bring a bit of balance to WDW’s Magic Kingdom
• How Universal’s Islands of Adventure played into Disney’s decision to develop a brand-new set of high profile thrill rides for the theme parks at the WDW Resort in the late 1990s
