It was a small park in rural San Jose with off-the-shelf rides and entertainment liberally lifted from Disneyland; so why is it so beloved? Is there another regional theme park in the country that has yearly reunions four DECADES after it closed? What was the magic behind Frontier Village? Playland at the Beach, The San Francisco Opera, Fantasia, P…

Our first Minnie-sode! To bridge the gaps between full episodes we're laying down a more casual - and far shorter - episode devoted to thoughts about things that happened this week in theme park history. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening! We'd love it if you would give us a cheeky little review on your podcast platform of choice. They're really …

It exists in a nexus between three time periods: the future, the retro-future and the nostalgic past. The Main Street Electrical Parade is the most famous Disney parks parade for a good reason, it somehow synthesizes everything that is contained in Walt's original park - fantasy, history, progress - in a joyous and timeless spectacle. And Walt Disn…

If you take a left turn around 1929, you end up here: where the jazz band triumphed over the orchestra, where sexy usurped formal, where a very different theme park empire began, and died. Welcome to Fleischer Land. Keep an eye out for hidden Bettys! Thanks for listening! We'd love it if you would give us a cheeky little review on your podcast plat…

When we pick up a fake gun and shoot it at a fantastical electric target, what are we trying to become? What do we think Frontierland is? Who is Paul MacGlashan and how did the guy that designed Disney's shooting galleries help win WWII? And, most importantly, How did Kelly and Pete find themselves so mired in the kind of Disney current affair news…

Fire up your Flux Capacitors, people, because we're heading back, back, back in time! We're traveling to the early-20th Century to visit some houses that ought not spin the way they do, the '60s to visit that same Not-Really-A-World's-Fair that we keep yammering on about and, of course, the '80s - where Huey Lewis lives. It's the ride that saved Un…

We go out on a limb this episode by philosophizing about the uses and abuses of guest interactivity within theme parks and other forms of live entertainment. We get real philosophical and voices get kind of contemplatively husky (or Kelly is still getting over a cold). Along the way we visit Knotts Berry Farm, the Galactic Starcruiser, Evermore, li…

A puzzling anomaly today - we dive for hours on packed highways to a place where we pay money to simulate driving on packed highways - the Richfield Autopia attraction was once a vision of an America poised on the brink of progress and possibility. Kelly and Pete go on a pilgrimage to Disneyland to consider its history in person and meet legendary …

It's been in the parks so long that it seems simply part of Disneyland's fabric, which it is. The Jungle Cruise is almost synonymous with the idea of "theme park." But it struggled with its identity for a very long time before becoming that attraction that we all know and love today. And some of the most fundamental players in its development have …

After Sleeping Beauty Castle, there may be no more important icon of the first few decades of Disneyland than The Golden Horseshoe Saloon. Wally Boag, Betty Taylor and Fulton Burley held court, every day, in Frontierland's grandest meetin' place, for thirty years. But what exactly was it? Join us. Come visit our Facebook group at https://www.facebo…

Once the most modern of resorts, the story of The Disneyland Hotel goes from the Governor's mansion in 1930s Texas to an engineering miracle in 1815 Cairo... At least that's how we tell it. Trust us, this is a strange ride. Thanks for listening! We'd love it if you would give us a cheeky little review on your podcast platform of choice. They're rea…

The icon of all theme park icons, Sleeping Beauty Castle. While it's the smallest of the Disney parks' castles, it has the richest, and strangest, history. Watch out, in this episode you will learn how something you probably thought was true about the Haunted Mansion is not, but is, instead, true for the Castle. Come on into this dark, cramped, sta…

We're chaining ourselves to Honest Abe and discussing why YOU should make a point of visiting him every time you go to Disneyland. Walt would want you to. Thanks for listening! We'd love it if you would give us a cheeky little review on your podcast platform of choice. They're really helpful. Come visit our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.co…
