    I have a theory on what inspired The Donkey's Sherry ride, but that doesn't make it any less weird:
    (TLDR: It may be based on the work of Spanish artist Francisco de Goya's work)
    Franscico de Goya was a Spanish(!) artist from the 18th century who is best known nowadays for a series of caricatures called Los Caprichos (Whims). A common motive in the collection is anthropomorphic donkeys performing human tasks. Another famous one of his paintings is The Witch's Sabbath in which an anthropomorphic goat is depicted in a similar pose to the donkey witch in Donkey's Sherry.
    Late in life de Goya experienced hearing loss which took a toll on his mental health. He expressed his mental anguish in a series known as "The Black Paintings" which he painted directly onto the walls of his home. These disturbing artworks are what Goya is most famous for except for Los Caprichos.
    So the ride progressing from the whimsical to the disturbing mirrors de Goya's artistic development. However in the end the experience is revealed to be a dream, which also is in line with de Goya's work. He was strongly opposed to the superstition in his country especially among the peasant population (like the vintners in the beginning of the ride) which was propagated by the clergy - who are often the ones unflatteringly depicted as donkeys in Los Caprichos. And notably the later part of the ride is a frightening the depiction of hell - exactly the kind of fearmongering Goya was opposed to - which is then revealed to be not true in the "all just a dream" ending, dreams also being a common theme in de Goya's work. In fact one of Los Caprichos is called "The Sleep of Reason Gives Birth to Monsters".
    I may be overinterpreting this silly amusement park attraction, but maybe one of the creatives of Parque Espana got way deep into their research of Spanish culture and decided to pay tribute to de Goya in their own way.

    Tivoli World's Pinocchio reminds me of Alice in Wonderland dark ride in Blackpool's Pleasure Beach. Unlike Tivoli's Pinocchio where it just a Shameless Knockoff of Disney's mixed in with the original tale, Blackpool's Wonderland is based entirely on the original Lewis Carrol's Books, complete with models that accurately depicts Lewis Carrol's illustrations and the inclusions of characters not seen in the Disney version like the Giant Puppy, Humpty Dumpty, and the Red Queen. The ride also goes into insane speeds like Tivoli's Pinocchio but not to the extent and is more understandable because, Hey, it's Wonderland.

    Another defunct dark ride from spain that could be made into the list was El Rescate de Ulises (The Rescue of Ulysses) in Terra Mitica, Benidorm. The ride is based on the Odyssey but takes certain liberties (the biggest one is putting elves in it, when they don't even belong to Greek mythology) also since the audio quality of the narration (supposed to be by Athena) is so bad, if you are not very familiar with the story you are not going to understand what's going on. Originally the ride consisted on boats with an actor, a la Jungle Cruise but with a more serious role, that interacted with the animatronics and told about what was happening but to cut costs they changed the boats to the river rapids ones and put some speakers. According to some sources, in the early days of the ride at one point, the boat could take two routes, depending if the riders chose to follow the Sirens' song, if you did you will experience the ride's only fall and you'll drop at the Tartarus scene, if you didn't you'll pass by the Elysium instead before going into the Tartarus. It was an interesting ride, that the park sadly didn't know how to keep. At least they still have the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, probably Spain's best dark ride

    Wow I’d never heard of any of those! Thanks for the info! While potentially not as obscure as some of those, the UK was once home to some pretty great now defunct dark rides! We use to have Professor Burps Bubble Works, which was a tour around a fantastical soda pop factory. We also had Toyland Tours that was similar but focused on a toy factory and more famously cameod Sonic the Hedgehog. Shame that so much great artistry is lost to time, but like you said it’s almost as fun to learn about them after the fact from grainy footage!

      Before I settled on a defunct theme, I initially considered talking about the Blackpool Alice ride, but then I figured it was too "mainstream". Maybe not everyone in the US knows about it, but pretending it was some completely obscure dark ride no one's heard of would be a real stretch. I've seen videos of the original Bubble Works and it looked like a lot of fun!

    also i'm glad to hear the mine of lost souls ride mentioned, i just rode that ride for the first time this past october and thought it was sooo weird. and speaking of new england dark rides, sally corp also made a fairly new shooting ride for a park called santa's village and i think it's really cool, it's themed to the christmas carol which i know you like considering you've made a lot of videos on different adaptations, so i think you should check it out.

    This is my favorite Grab Bag ever! I ADORE theme parks and dark rides, even though my closest one is only seasonal. I'd love to one day see Colin talk about theme parks that never got built, like Disney's America, WESTCOT, and ESPECIALLY Claymation Station. I really wish Claymation Station became real, because I am a HUGE fan of Will Vinton's many work [especially the California Raisins and The Noid]. And there are also a lot of Kitchen Kabaret/Food Rocks-like animatronic shows outside of Disney, such as the Stew Leonard's characters, that could definitely be an interesting topic. Colin, when you get to Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, you need to talk about the controversy rightfully surronding Sweet Pete, the villain of the movie. Choosing Peter Pan as the villian of the movie, and giving him a similar backstory to what happened to Bobby Driscoll is VERY tone-deaf and I'm honestly surprised the movie didn't get more controversy. I also don't care for ideas others' had, due to being similarly tone deaf. Taran from The Black Cauldron: We don't even know what happened to Grant Bardsley past the 80s, there's little information about him. Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet: He was still loosely based on a earlier incarnation of Jim Hawkins, that was also played by Bobby Driscoll. The only character I can see working as a villian is Julius The Cat from the Alice Comedies. Not only would it not be offensive [I still won't watch the movie because of Sweet Pete and the awful treatment], but it would make more sense, as Julius was actually really sadistic in the Alice Comedies.

    YOOOO. When this video began I felt in my gut that Colin HAD to talk about "Tornado." (time stamp 7:25). Always appreciate The Great Escape getting a shoutout. I remember going on Tornado ONCE and only ONCE in like 2002 (probably its final season) because it was always always closed. I think post like 2004-2005 they replaced it with the lame "Canyon Blaster" roller coaster.
    My two cents are that the images of the ride in the video do not do it justice on just how dark, eerie and creepy it is on the inside. The figures and sets had a glow to them that made them stand out from the dark interior. It was a fairly decent dark-ride all things considered.

Ride was only about 90 seconds, but every corner we turned I waited with breathless anticipation at some kind of jump scare set piece….there weren’t any haha.

    Hello. Excellent video. I love theme parks, dark rides and nostalgia, all of which are presented here. One semi-minor correction, if you don't mind, Walt Disney nurtured the idea of Disneyland for years. Throughout the mid 1940s and early 1950s he visited other amusement parks and carnivals with an eye towards creating his own. He began to envision a cleaner theme-based park where families could become a part of the magical world that his films depicted on the big screen. So while your comment about when Walt seriously started thinking of a theme park isn't exactly wrong, it is a little factually... umm... shaky I guess? In any case, this was a well thought out and delivered video. Count me in as a new subscriber.

    As much as I like Tintin, I'm a bigger fan of Lucky Luke. So seeing that one of Tintin's attractions being rethemed to the man who can shoot faster than his shadow would have me conflicted. Too bad the entire park wasn't rethemed to "Poor Lonesome Cowboy Land," but I guess retooling pirate ships to Southern Riverboats would have been too pricy.
    Also 2:36. That bear, though.

The beginning I remember you first enter there was a skeleton in a barrel hanging from a chain that said "there ain't no way out of here" and laughed. There there was like a skeleton groom and bride at either end of a looong table behind a glass and I think fence right about where the eagle and jumping bear was. I remember the part where the Indian chef was, there was a gorilla like babbon that said "Go back, Go baaaack, this is your last warning" I can still hear the voice too

    OMG, I always wondered if there had ever been a 'Tintin'-themed ride!!! (I always thought Disney's Everest would be the closest we'd get.) We need an updated one PRONTO!!! And how weird IS it that you happened to put out a video about the Muppet Traffic School the SAME week Defunctland did one too?! =D
