    Historyland is dedicated to and inspired by Walt Disney's original television show: The Wonderful World of Color/Disney, and most of all: the families who sat in awe at what Walt showcased each week. Historyland is meant to be a homage to those vintage aesthetics, while at the same time putting a twist on the contemporary internet video essay.

    Tomorrowland, and what that represented within Walt's vision of the future, has fascinated me since I was a child. You capture the spirit of that dream perfectly here.

    Even with all the Tomorrowland theming shenanigans, Space Mountain has always been a shining constant that still manages to draw me in to this day. Great video as always! Wouldn’t expect any less

    You have such a great channel. I love your show. I love how you make your channel retro. I'm 43 and really love the 80's vibe and commercials you throw in. This is my Disney experience!

      The video could use more narration in parts. Just seems like a bunch of clips added together. It needs to be smoother like in some of the other videos you have done.

    Gotta say I love how you did this episode about Space Mountain. And how it was back in the days when Walt Disney himself was still alive. I really love the 1960s look and sound you did. Thank you for sharing this for all to see and enjoy.

I can tell this was very thought out and i loved the editing; from the vintage footage to the background music, this was an amazing video. Can’t wait for the rest of Historyland vol 3!

    I remember the opening of Space Mountain @ DL in 1977 -- I was eleven and at the park alone (I lived nearby and kids could be on their own at that age before the paranoid soccer moms ruined childhood for everyone). It was something like $10-12 dollars for a "junior" entrance pass and I had Magic Kingdom Club passes (my dad was a cop so we got those a few times a year). So for $20 I could ride the bus to the park (OCTD route 50 for $0.50 each way) and have enough money over for a cheap meal like a hot dog and coke.
    It was Memorial Day weekend and the line STARTED at the Bank of America by the Main Street Train Station -- the line was over 6 HOURS long. and wound all the way down Main Street and back and forth along the Tomorrowland Mall then around the base of the original Space Mountain Speedramp to the upper deck overlooking the Space State and it zig-zagged across the entire upper deck area.
    You had to make friends with those around you in line so you could go the to bathroom and go get food.

    i'm just glad wdw's space mountain never got any overlays. that one's the original and i don't really want to see overlays on the original. [ghost galaxy seems really cool though i actually wouldn't mind that since it would only be for a month anyway]

    • @Kvic2112
      @Kvic2112 6 лет назад +2

      Agreed...however, new cars with audio would be pretty cool.

    • @memethyst

      do disneyland's cars have audio? at wdw we just have speakers around the track.

    • @MountaineerProductions
      @MountaineerProductions  6 лет назад

      Yeah they have speakers built into the cars.

    • @Section927
      @Section927 6 лет назад +1

      memethyst Wow, you really need to watch a Space Mountain Disneyland POV. The on board audio is one of the best things about the ride.

    • @rct3isepic

      Actually WDWs space mountain now has an overlay. It’s at Halloween and it’s called deep space mountain

  • @ComradeSeanski
    @ComradeSeanski 4 года назад

    just visited WDW this past week, and they had the halloween overlay for space mountain which in my opinion was the most intense experience there. The crazy part is all they do is turn the lights off and play opera music in your ear. Flying headfirst at 50+ mph in pitch darkness is a horrifying/thrilling experience that easily beat TOT in terms of thrill rides imho.

    Hyperspace mountain isn’t permanent in Paris. I think behind the scenes they are making mission 3 and until it’s done they have hyperspace mountain.

    You will often find me loitering in the star tunnels listening to the music. I love space mountain and i have ridden the wdw, california and paris versions. I love all the versions and each has its little nuances. However the change to hyperspace mountain in paris is awful, just awful. I can't believe its permanent.

    • @ukthemeparks9522

      The main place I've actually heard it was on my old copy of Walt Disney World Explorer, which was super my jam back when I was a youngling. I hadn't seen this version of the Tomorrowland loop before and I thank you very much for bringing it to my attention.~

  • @michaeltaylor9977
    @michaeltaylor9977 6 лет назад +1

    My bucket list is to ride the one in Paris. I've enjoyed both DL & WDW versions. I've never been on the "overlay versions" There is also a wonderful "mystic" to the attraction. Many claim the "state side" versions go "upside down" LOL The corkscrew & vertical loop would NOT have been in operation until 1975 & 76 in non-Disney parks, but both in southern California. Yes, attractions "to be successful must "update" to remain relevant to their audience. The other reason SM was done indoors is because of the unexpected "cloud bursts" that sometimes bedevil the Florida park.

    • @MattMcIrvin
      @MattMcIrvin 6 лет назад

      ...if Walt had lived, they'd probably have shown him the blueprints and he'd say "What, Space Mountain? What does that mean? I never said that!"
