    That fun fact of Harold growing weed 🌿no Holiday Hill before Walt built him the Matterhorn to hang out in totally blew my mind 🤯

    This is EXACTLY the content I'm here for. I love the design aspect of Disneyland (and everything, for that matter).You break it down so well and use great storytelling to give us the history as well. Keep it coming, Brickey. These viewers (my husband and i) love it!

    Always a master of really brining the designer details. Love the 'insider-esque' dives! Favorite part ... "Walt, what are you looking at?" Walt: "My Mountain."

    Being old, I remember riding the skyride through the Matterhorn. I loved doing that. You could see all the trains racing around the tracks inside. I was bummed when they took out the skyride and closed the mountain on both sides. But it sill is a vivid memory.

      Yes I remember when it was hallow inside. I think there was a basketball court in there at one point.

    Loved this!!! One of my earliest childhood memories is of the Matterhorn. First trip to Disneyland was when I was 4 yo. I remember standing on the seat of our family car, ( No seatbelt) Driving on the free way, looking out the window and seeing the Matterhorn for the first time and was so excited because that is when my parents said, "We are going to Disneyland". I could feel the magic from that very moment. I will never forget it.

  • @Magic.Happens
    @Magic.Happens Год назад +7

    Love your videos- Thank you! You always skillfully give insight into how Walt ( a genius!) and the imagineers created the magic - but you do it by adding to the magic- not exposing it in a way that ruins the effect/ fun for us ❣️

    YESSSSSS! I've been waiting for this one Brickey!!! The Mattahorn is my favorite attraction at Disneyland not because of it's thrills though it is an amazing experience and Harold 2.0 the best animatronic jump scare lol. It's my favorite because it's history and being a landmark. Shout out to the Imagineering team on this beauty and paving the way for steel coasters across the world! As they say in Disney " It all started with a mouse!" Well in the world of steel coaster thrills " It all started with a Disney Mountain!" Thanks as always Brickey for shedding light on something most people would have never known to be of such importance to Disney Parks History!

    Loved this episode! The fact that I got to spend 2 - 3 weeks repelling down the Matterhorn every night designing an illusion for a special event made me love it so much more. Having lunch up there just savoring the experience was a dream come true. Thank you for so much history on this remarkable installation!

    Your videos are really well done. Most history videos are like facts read off of a wiki page and they're pretty common. But really like your storytelling, how you connect the present to the past, how it came to be and why it's still relevant or impactful today. Like the other mountains being set lower or all the little stories and decisions that led to the building of Matterhorn. Thank you for making these history videos because they are excellent.

    I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this video. The Matterhorn opened on my dads birthday in 1959. I rode it with my dad about three weeks after it opened so it has a very special place in my heart. Somewhere in this universe there is a picture of my dad and me sitting on holiday hill. (No, we didn’t know that was a pot plant). Can you imagine riding a hallow Matterhorn? Well, I did. It is, and has always been, my favorite ride. I’ve been on it at least once a year since it’s opening. (You do the math). Even knee surgery couldn’t keep me off. Thank you for making this video. I have to admit, I shed a few tears while watching it.

    Fun video, I wonder what 13yr old Brickey would think if he knew he’d be making educational videos as an adult ? If you didn’t tell him they were in So Cal lol. It was great seeing the framework of the mountain. You can see the structural load bearing beams and the smaller beams to hold the facade. Seeing the wheel mechanics up close was great too. It really gives an appreciation for all they had to do to make the Matterhorn. Can’t wait to see what you work on next. I also like how your filming style is evolving, getting a few shots from farther away. Keep up the great work !
