jumpin jellyfish is iconic, sorry i don’t make the rules
Jumpin jellyfish is the ride you go on when you have a fast pass for goofy’s sky school but you arrived a little too early and don’t have time to go on a better ride
Basically yes.
@@masterofdisguise9564 i go on jumpin jellyfish while my friends wait for goofy’s sky school because i DESPISE that ride lol
Me and my friend go to Disneyland together and we go on Jumping Jellyfish while our parents get food, we LOVE it because it's so hilarious to us. The way that the lady talks for the safety spiel(dont know if I spelled that right) is so hilarious to us that we crack up every time!
@@sarissamonroe4053 LOL my friends and i always laugh at her too!! it’s the little things that i miss the most🥺
Luigi’s flying tires was a “retread” of the flying saucers? I see what you did there!
I don't get it?!
@@bowefamily5661 The word Retread comes from basically replacing the treads on old tires rather than making new tires
Throw A beach ball at your buddies head as hard as you can!!!
BRING BACK THE PEOPLE MOVER SO I CAN RIDE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
We got to ride it just once on our first trip to Disneyland in 1995. I’d LOVE to see it return.
For the first ti-
ALRIGHT DISNEY GO GO GO GO OPEN THE PEOPLE MOVER
I mean, magic kingdom still has it
I don't keep a lot of hope for Disney attractions these days, especially with Imagineer lay-offs, but one thing remains universal: we all keep hope for Dreamfinder and Figment. They deserve that last little spark. ✨
It's likely that Peoplemover won't come back. They'd have to rip out the track completely and rebuild, including portions that go through Space Mountain, Star Tours, Autopia, Star Wars Launch Bay, and Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters.
Love how it's been 3 years but we still recognize Mission Breakout as the Tower of Terror haha.
I mias the Tower of Terror... even though it made me terrified of elevator for months afterward.
"Not sure what people see in Early Epcot" But you JUST MENTIONED the original Journey Into Imagination.
Journey into Imagination didn't premiere until March, 1983, about six months after Epcot opened. When it did open, it was pretty amazing. I got to ride it on New Year's Eve, 1984. I wish they'd bring it back.
@@whistlingsage9817 He said early Epcot, and that's still pretty early. It's not opening day, but March 1983 is still a long time back
Yeah, perhaps he would have said “opening day Epcot.” Not sure how many people still remember that clearly enough to solidly prefer it over modern Epcot.
Indeed, I like this fellow but you criticise early Epcot, you gets a sneer from me.
@@whistlingsage9817 I was there for New Years Eve/Day 1982/83. I remember the ride cars for JII being lined up along the north side of the pavilion prior to installation. The ride was months away, but the playground upstairs was open, as was the 3D movie Magic Journeys and the water garden.
As to his other mention, Horizons was not open on Day 1, but about a year later. I'll forgive him his mistakes, however, he is obviously young and can't rely on his own memory.
Yes, bring it back as a trackless ride, taking advantage of forty years of improved technology to give us what we once had and make it much better.
"Communicore which turned into Innoventions which turned into a pile of rubble" I hate that I laughed so hard at that remark
Disneyland fans: "WE WANTS THE PEOPLEMOVER!"
Disney Epcot fans: "WE WANTS JOURNEY INTO YOUR IMAGINATION!"
Pirates of the Caribbean: "WE WANTS THE RED HEAD'S...RUM!"
Journey Into YOUR Imagination?? nAH......
Just take out the 'your' and everything will be correct
'I WANTS THE RED HEAD'S HUGS!'
she looks like she gives good hugs
@@JackieMReacts yes
I be like: I wants Buzzy!
Me: I bet he's going to mourn the People Mover again.
[FIRST ENTRY: ROCKET RODS]
Me: The meme is strong with this one...
What's also strong is that most of these videos have a theme of "FUCK MICHAEL EISNER!"
@@CaitCher Well, of course.
I miss the maelstrom (that frozen replaced in epcot)
Me too! Why did they have to ruin it?
@@MissLilyputt: Money.
Yes! Frozen Ever After was really disappointing.
@@MissLilyputt I think it’s because frozen became popular among children so they ruined it since more people would come if there was an Frozen themed attraction and that Maelstrom would be too scary for children even though it showed Norwegian beliefs.
I miss the Soap Opera Bistro at DCA. I had never watched any of the shows it was based on, but the wait staff was so great improvising soap opera scenes it's a shame it's gone.
“Michael Eisner, of course ....” lolz.
Also I remember seeing the rocket rods but the lines were always so long so we never went on them
I miss the Peoplemover. Wish they would make an attempt to repair those tracks
I waited the 2 1/2 hours to ride it. For some reason, I don't really remember the ride experience? (Except that it was jerky)
We tried to go on it, but it kept breaking down and then it was finally closed for the day. And, I still miss the people mover.
i just miss the Jolly Trolley. It's there but they're not even using it.
It made people sea-sick and was very likely to run people over all the time, so...
Dallin saying Magic Candle Company is so satisfying
Why are you every where mr chapek
But Mr chapek have you used the offer code, I heard it saves money 👀
@Dylan Ryan 🤣🤣🤣
@@bartplays3392 well if you remember Bob Iger was commented on All! Of Dallins Offhand Disney Films, now that we have Chapeck as CEO he is gonna Commenting on Offhand Disney Films from now on
@Dylan Ryan Hire Dallin
I miss Alien Encounter! That was the best ever! Scared the crap out of me.
Scared my sister, too. So of course I bought a Skippy plush and would hide it in our house waiting for her to find it. For that and many other reasons AE will always be one of my favorites.
YES! That was an EPIC attraction that took scares to a new level! The thing breathing in my ear always freaked me out!😎
After I seize Disney in a hostile takeover, Alien Encounter is one of the first things I'm bringing back not only because it was in Imagineering marvel, but to scare kids and make them wet themselves. I enjoy scaring kids and that's why Halloween is the best holiday.
These are rides I miss for the nostalgia:
Body Wars, Captain EO, The Great Movie Ride,
Honey I Shrunk The Audience, Main Street Cinema, and funnily enough I really miss seeing Mickey, Minnie and Pluto’s house.
When I was 5 my mom literally had to carry me out of captain eo while I screamed. I guess I just hates Michel jackson
What was Body Wars???😮
I’m lucky to say that I rode luigi’s flying tires
Same
Where are we supposed to buy intimate apparel at Disneyland *now*?!
Thank you Alexis! Best comment ever!
I just realized the font used for Rocket Rods is the same that was used for a Disney feature presentation bumper from 1991.
Yeah, the Woody's Roundup Anamatronic Show needs to happen now.
I experienced all three versions of Imagination, and yes, I was greatly offended by the millennium version. He insults you at the very beginning of the ride! How are we supposed to have an imagination?!? You took away the Dreamfinder! Anyway, my daughter loves the current ride, but she’s seen ride through videos of the original, and she agrees, it was definitely the better version.
I think Eric Idle should have sang the money song, to explain why the changes were made that is. They needed new sponsors for the ride so they had to make an update…a cheap one!
“I’ve got 90,000 pounds in my pajamas…
I have 40,000 French franks in my fridge…
I’ve got lots of lovely lira…
Now the deutchemarks getting clear…
And my dollar bills can buy the Brooklyn Bridge!”
@@KRobinson-ko1ne Kodak has always been a sponsor, but I think the issue was the syncing of the Dreamfinder opening. So when it came time to update it, they decided to full on out gut it, getting rid of the story completely m. Sort of how Horizons was such a great ride, but due to sinkholes, the sponsor wanted to completely start over from scratch. At least we got to keep the exterior of the Imagination pavilion.
Love the show!
But shocked and disappointed you don’t see the appeal of the original Epcot. I guess you had to be there! It really was more whimsical and I think more inspirational/optimistic! JMHO
I really miss that river cruise around Animal Kingdom. Exciting? No. Fast? No. But like many Disney attractions that also act as transportation vehicles, it was a great way to see the park from a unique perspective, a somewhat convenient way to make your way to a different part of the park, and best of all (like the People Mover) a relaxing way to enjoy the journey as opposed to the destination!
Keep up the good work!
Definitely Horizons for me though. I was a nerdy kid; I loved edutainment. Even today in my late 30s, I love going to the Boston science museum.
Have you seen “Remain Seated Please” with Hoot and Chief? It’s the absolute BEST tribute to Horizons!!! Lots of backstage footage and a great story!
I really really wish i was alive to have been able to ride horizons, journey into imagination, world of motion, kitchen kabaret, universe of energy, living seas (my profile pic), and see communicore... i could go on
The Canoes...I remember being in them and flipping over when I was a kid! So much fun 😁😆
When the parks closed during the pandemic would’ve been a great time to fix the people mover track
How dare they mock my imagination, I have a great imagination than Journey in your Imagination.
Sorry, I just want to let it out.
Just a quick note: You kept calling him "Little Ken Jennings" in the Astuter Computer segment -- Kenny is actually rather short ;) - check him out as the original Tobias Ragg in Sweeney Todd (with Angela Lansbury)
Holy smokes! Little Tobias is all grown up now lol !
I am so sorry that you did not experience the opening years of EPCOT Center. I am a huge fan of your videos and your sense of humor, and my favorite transportation system is the PeopleMover (the WDW version, though).
I remember falling asleep on Dad's lap during the Main Street Electrical Parade on the Hospitality House front porch in December 1975.
On a visit in August 1982, we took a monorail to the EPCOT station for a preview, and I still have the substantial preview book with the lavish illustrations and pavilions that never materialized.
In late summer 1984, a stay at the Contemporary Resort included monorail access to about everything built at that point, and Future World was open and in full glory, less the Living Seas.
In summer 1987, at age 17, I was a cast member in the Crystal Palace, and spent at least 30% of my time in the parks, and backstage.
The demolition of Horizons, World of Motion, the Universe of Energy, and especially Journey Into Imagination were just criminal.
Eisner wrecked the parks. EPCOT Center Future World was like riding the PeopleMover x10. In college in Fall of '87, we used to scream at each other "If we can dream it, we can do it" at each other across campus (Horizons slogan).
I made a trip to WDW in 2011 with sister and family, and could not believe how dumbed down it was. Won't go back.
rip the disneyland peoplemover, it will live forever in our hearts
Dallin has one of the best Disney RUclips channels out there ♥️
You forgot the swan boats in magic kingdom
Eisner.....................................................................
YOU BROKE THE PEOPLEMOVER!!!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Rocket Rods gets so much hate but I loved it as a kid. It is so fashionable to hate on the Rods but they were a blast.
Pun intended?
HAHAHAHAHA blast HhagaaggahHAAGGAHAHAHHA
I would have loved to ride Rocket Rods, I like rides that are fast but don't twist you around like rollercoasters do. I think Rocket Rods was a fair middle ground for people who liked the original people mover and people who thought it was too slow and boring. So much for the hate for Rocket Rods is just because it lead to the track being shut down, I think people would be a lot softer on it if it was still open today (provided the fixed the problems)
No one:
Not anyone:
Offhand Disney:MAGIC CANDLE
My crowning acheivment: I got 100th like on this video.
Lol
How I miss the old Epcot Center from the 80’s!!! So much better than the theming mess that became Future World today!!!!!
I still feel weird seeing Ronald Reagan on footage of opening day Disneyland
I thought I was imagining it... then I was told I had no imagination...
It's weird, he was just an actor then, not a political figure
Superstar Limo wasn’t that bad.
IT WAS TERRIBLE
We now need a part 2...😂
Was having a rough day, saw this upload. Now? Great day :D
It's the aesthetic and feel of early EPCOT Center that attracts people to it, the atmosphere of a retro future, strange and early versions of modern and now past technology. It's the same reason people take interest in malls or early 3D video games- it's weird and cool and innovative and clunky and even a bit creepy [the space station at the top of Spaceship Earth and the hidden-in-plain-sightc electric chair model in Sonic Adventure's Red Mountain occupy the same space in my mind].
I miss Horizons every time I’m in Epcot and I’m 100% in favor of bringing back the DL people mover.
someone that follows me on twitter used to have “superstar limo died for our sins” as their display name and i think about them every day
I miss disneyland... This kinda helps tho
I have never physically been to the disney parks. Watching disney park vloggers is my way to go to the parks past and present, virtual visiting, time traveling and hearing the stories and opinions. Thank you.
#BringBackThePeopleMover! I also miss the Carousel of Progress.
Then go to MK @ WDW. Still showing!
Disney is no longer ran by real Disney Fans Bob Iger was not a Disney Fan and I Doubt Bob Chapek is a fan either! By adding all this crap that has Nothing to do with Disney! Sure I Love Star wars and Marvel Never said I hate it! But why add that to Disney!? If I was to be CEO I would fix Disney and bring it back to Walt Disney's Disneyland! None of this Re-theming Crap, when Walt Disney said Disneyland will never be Finished I do Believe he was talking about Adding New Rides NOT Re-theming People today don't care about Walt or the Original Disney! That's why I Decided to make My Mickey Mouse start out Abandoned Disney Attractions, America sings and Country Bears Jamboree that Walt made Special for us and they are Special that is why I have made the Film's that they will no longer be Forgotten! Dallin a Real Disney Fan like you should take over as CEO and bring Disneyland back to Walt Disney's Legacy, anyone that is a true Fan of The Original Disneyland should take over the Disneyland park's, I Love this Film it is about Attractions that should have been left alone.
I hate all that Pixar crap everywhere too
I'm 50 years old, and your opinion on not understanding the appeal of early EPCOT is 100% why EPCOT became Epcot and had to change. I can go into this in much more detail. If you weren't a tween/teen in the early 1980s, you simply would not understand. The future wasn't scary then. We feared nuclear war and Gloria Estafan's rhythm getting us.
I was listening to music on a speaker outside and then went inside and didn’t realize my phone was still connected to the speaker, and my neighbors got to listen to this video for a couple minutes 😂
The Astuter Computer song sounds like a cross between the Carousel of Progress' "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" and Mary Poppins "Jolly Holiday" - and its delightful! Thanks fir finding this rare gem!
Dude, are you high? Early Epcot futureworld was a completely different park. Every nook and cranny was magical. World of Motion, Original Imagination Pavilion, spaceship earth exit pavilion, Universe of energy exit pavilion, Communicore, on and on and on
Yeah i was surprised he said that considering he never experienced old epcot. Watching live ride thru videos or such doesn't do justice. You had to experience it back then.
Personally, I preferred 1980s and early 90s Epcot to Magic Kingdom when I was a kid. But then again, I also loved to learn. I was very disappointed when I found out all the educational attractions had been dumbed down. I actually liked Body Wars for example. But my mom had a heart transplant so a ride about how the body works was both fun and interesting to me. My parents could just leave me in the body pavilion and I’d ride those bikes for quite a while. It was like fun school and no one picked on me. Journey Into Imagination was my favorite ride ever! I learned a lot of neat stuff at Epcot! Things that still interest me today! I feel like too many people today have no curiosity. Epcot was how I learned about conservation, agricultural innovations of the time, alternative energy, the weird things my body can do like ASMR tricks. I never got to explore the Communicore pavilions because they were always too crowded. I loved talking to the people at the world showcase pavilions because they were actually from those countries. There weren’t characters everywhere taking away from learning all the cool stuff! And yes I’m one of those people who likes going to museums for fun. I know. I’m weird...
The porch where the Wizard of Bras once stood is actually one of my favorite spots in the park. It's nice and peaceful there.
Yup! it is GRAND!
8:20 - That's not the phantom boats, that's the Motorboat Cruise located in front of the Matterhorn entry. Different ride. I used to enjoy that as a kid, long after the Phantom Boats ( never rode them ) were gone. The best part of the motorboat cruise was a brass bell they added in the 70's. Since the steering wheel did nothing as the boat followed it's track, the only thing you could control was the bell. I'd clank that until I'd annoyed every adult around me. That was the only purpose it really served.
You got to wonder why Eisner was that stupid .He killed two rides
I miss Alien Encounter. It was the main reason I went to Magic Kingdom Orlando.
RIP Maelstrom
When I saw the man from the Astuter Computer Revue and SMRT-1 I really can’t tell you how fast I clicked..
The dude's name is Earlie the Pearlie.
Bring the people mover back!
Eric Idle is my favorite monty python member
10:25 oh my the shade being given here lol
@Chris Moliere Tom Corless from WDWNT made a very comical "news" article about Disney redoing the country bears in this way. It was a big fiasco Disney called them out and stuff.
I miss the attraction Discovery River-Boats was GOING to be; where we finally got to see an animatronic dragon, unicorn, and troll! (etc) Too bad Universal finally beat 'em to the punch...
Here are a few things that I miss from day-gone-by. In the mid-70's, they had a movie theater where Carnation Plaza stood. Also, the Circlevision 360 was another place we went to relax for 20 minutes in between rides; not sure how short-lived it was, but it was awesome. And, finally, the 3D movie called "Magic Journeys", a psychedelic head-trip through the imagination of a child.
Oh yeah, Magic Journeys had some great 3D!!!
Walt wasn't soft-testing the Viewliner for the monorail. According to interviews with Bob Gurr ( available on RUclips) he said when Walt found out about a monorail during a European trip he told Bob "Well that's what I wanted!". He'd have never built the viewliner if he had known the monorail existed. Also, the one he and Lillian traveled on during their trip was a suspended monorail that swang so much Lillian got ill and insisted Walt find one that doesn't do that.
You’re gonna think I’m crazy for saying this but since I watched your 5 deaths at Disneyland video anytime me or my friend say people mover we have had issues with our phones 😂 we’re both calling it the pm curse lol
Amazing!
10:16 Offhand Disneyland : I hope that something better comes along
Me : *Did he not notice the accidental muppets reference?*
I miss the Kitchen Cabaret show. Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit!!
just used the offer code and saved $13.77 on my sister's christmas present
I remember seeing #1 at EPCOT on my only visit in 1986. Fun fact: the guy with the bowtie holding the microphone on the left of the screen at 10:36 is Ronald Reagan, before he became Governor of California and later President of the United States. Great video, Offhand!
I was wondering if that was Ronald Reagan.
You were also not blasted with skunk spray in the original Journey into imagination. I feel that perfectly shows you how much better it was
Rocket rods was kool.i remember riding them lol
-Satan
I wish I could ride them, even more that the people mover
This is Awesome to watch, But Disney shouldn't Retheme Attractions for the sake of People that don't like it if they Don't! Like the Attractions then they don't belong in Disneyland they can always to other Theme parks as Theme parks are for None Disney Fans, People need to learn how to Stop Whining and think of other People who may! Like the Attractions let's not kill Disney's Legacy on an account of Complainers and Haters if I was the CEO of Disney that is the way it would be, Dallin I know I have now said this so many times But I Believe you would make a Disney CEO you seem to care about Disney Legacy more than anyone else does you are great Source and Ally of Disney, and I Love your Offhand Disney Channel thank you for this Amazing Wonderful RUclips channel it makes My Day when I watch your past Films and new Films that will come and it brings Disneyland in our Homes keep Walt Disney's Legacy Alive it will Honor him in our Memories Whether People like it or not.
Alien encounter, or whatever it was called, was really scary and fun. The reboot with Stitch was okay but I liked how un Disney that original was. When the creature breathed on the back of your neck...come on, that was awesome.
Sweater themed disney show what???
I loved rocket rods when I was a lil kid, me and my dad would always ride it up until it closed. I got to ride superstar limo which I didn't think was THAT bad, but mind you I was 7 years old and didn't know who 75% of the characters in the ride were xD I miss country bears and also doing a gameshow at innovations disneyland, which I got selected to participate in haha
Im gonna go with Mission To Mars or Adventure Through Inner Space .
Yo Dallin supports #bringbacktheoriginaljourneyintoimagination
Honestly the pile of rubble was an upgrade from Innoventions.
I just wish they'd have left the Fountain and the Fountain View alone. The Fountain View was always our first stop coming into Epcot. Best place in all of Disney World to people watch and have some coffee.
Keep the faith! #BringBackthePeopleMover
Horizons and Journey Into Imagination and World of Motion were such great rides. I never understood why they closed them, except for Test Track what we got sucks compared to the originals. I didn't get to EPCOT until 1985, but the park was so great before they messed with it. I'm so sad to see it so neglected and see them bring in IP where it doesn't belong (Guardians of the Galaxy instead of updating The Universe of Energy without Ellen). They are trying to bring more young people into the one park where you could take a break from the crowds and the millions of kids if you need it. EPCOT was always my favorite park when the rides were longer and you could just relax for a day and have a more adult experience. And now with the shut-downs and the loss of money EPCOT is no longer getting the upgrades it was supposed to get so we may end up with a big empty area where the Communicore/Innoventions buildings were. Part of me is really happy that they aren't going to mess with Spaceship Earth though. I wasn't sure about the whole storytelling idea, why mess with a good thing?
I would go on Superstar limo with my cousin's who were child actresses, they loved Superstar Limo, when they actually had real movie premieres they compared it to the Movie premieres.
Man, my uncle worked on Superstar Limo, he was an imagineer at the time. He seemed so humored yet disappointed when talking about it. Said he hated it, definitely not his proudest moment.
Eisner might have killed the People Mover, but at least he didn't kill Star Wars
No, that was Iger.
@@clffliese26 I know. That's why I said he DIDN'T kill SW.
Horizons was a triumph, good sir! Good day to you! :)
Disney should bring back the People mover. we HAVE the technology now and we deff have the time to re-build it
I have an e ticket from 1967 when i was 5 , the monorail was my favorite ride.
We’ll I got to ride 2 of the rides. Tire ride, and Journey. You can still ride the Discovery river boats to this day. The boats go to Fort Wilderness to the Magic Kingdom.
A new version of the old people mover would be nice. Same thing for the skyway.
At least we have the Disney world people mover
To bad Captain EO lasted way to long to be on this list. I was furious when I heard that piece of catbox (which to be fair at the time I didn't know it would be) was going to replace my beloved Journey. I was even more furious when I actually saw the thing and found it was a piece of catbox.
Eisner was wrong, they are those the loved the Peoplemover and wish it could return!
Ah yes the Discovery River Boats the best attraction to ever grace Florida.
The funny thing is that I was either too young to remember these rides and/or I was not alive yet.
I still think its crazy that Rocket Rods only operated for like a total of 3 months. I was lucky I got to ride it... I think.
So many awful attractions. And some misunderstood ones. Great list
My husband and I went to DCA about 6 months after it opened. We actually found it kind of eerie because it was so empty. Very few people and we kept saying to each other "Aren't we in a Disney park? Where is everybody?" We had the misfortune to ride on Superstar Limo. It was...different. I have mourned when we have lost certain Disney rides. That one, never.
You're getting tired of Disneyland?! I thought I'd never hear you say that Dylan!
Good thing about theme parks mistakes can be corrected. Expensively so though.
Missed this one, glad you commented on current video.
