Do you mean like the information on the reason for the People Mover/Rocket Rods closure was actually due to the damage to the structure from the travesty that was the Rocket Rods 'force' put onto it? Is that the kind of correction you are talking about?
Hey! I'm the creator of the original Iceberg! Great job covering this, I cannot wait to see the other parts! I am also going to be making a video on it myself (including some extra entries that I decided to add after posting the iceberg.) I honestly think it is super cool to see your take on the entries, and the fact that my iceberg inspired someone else to make content on it makes me smile so much!
I was born in 2006, my family went to Disney in 2012 when I was 6. I was the perfect age range for Bugland; I remember loving the caterpillar train ride and him going “I miss you already!” lol
20:48 Only way I got to ride Mount Everest in Disney World 10-12 times in a row was by being a single rider. My friends and I would literally get off just to get back in the really short single rider line. I met a lot of interesting people that way though it was really awkward, ngl. Still worth it.
I remember going to California Adventure before it got reworked...I loved seeing the giant letters out in front and the scenery was super cool. I know people say it's weird or tacky but for me it's just nostalgic I guess and I'm sad they've gotten rid of most of the old California Adventure and changed it to marvel :/
It really does feel like yesterday that I was at Disneyland watching the electric parade and just enjoying life with my sisters in a bugs land as we made fun of rides. It's just shocking in a way that what was so fun and entertaining just be tossed away into a slowly fading memory of what was once a very joyful experience.
My first and only single rider experience was in The Mummy’s Curse at Universal (that dark ride that just speeds up a lot) because no one from my family wanted to try out the attraction with me. I got paired with an Asian family, a dad with two small kids. The whole ride they were like “yaaaaayyy” while I was next to them screaming my head off 😂
Minor error I noticed: The 1955 version of Snow White was much different and substantially less scary than the 1971 WDW version, and was more similar to the 1983 version overall. Also, the forest scene wasn't made any less scary for the redesign.
I remember old California Adventure! I remember the orange themed ride being one of the first things built. We thought it was a competitor with Disneyland at first. When it opened, I thought it was charming. I appreciate it in its current state, too! It has more to do and you can spend the whole day. I will always look back fondly on how it used to be though.
My first visit to Disneyland was June 1999 (I was 7). I remember being in line for Rocket Rods and having it break down after waiting well over an hour for it. We got passes to skip the line of another attraction, which we ended up using for night rides on Matterhorn. When we came back in 2001, Rocket Rods was gone, so I never got the ride credit. We were also at DCA opening year in 2001. I recall they had a version of the Electric Parade too (I know we have home movies of it somewhere).
Snow White's Scary Adventures has always been funny to me. They made the ride less scary, and then to signify that change...they added "Scary" to the name.
its funny because i always remember california adventure to be my favorite, jumpin jellyfish to be specific, my dad would always go on the "big rollercoaster" (california screamin) while i went on the smaller rides. im always gonna miss california adventure as it was, but im glad its getting some love
Yesterworld, Defunctland and Offhand Disney are AMAZING channels I've watched since they started. I'm getting into Disney Dan too. Fantastic video mate, keep it up!
I remember Luigi's Flying Tires. Me and my family called it Luigi's Flying Tired, because it just wore us out every time we went on it. We didn't even like the ride, but we went on it like 8 times while it was still around because of the joke.
So, this is completely random, but I just want to thank you for making your videos. I'm in a tough family situation right now and life could be better to say the least, but your content has made me focus on other things for a while. I really hope you gain more subscribers, because I think you deserve it. Thank you so, so much. I hope you have a lovely weekend 💙
Yo. Thanks for sharing this! People often forget TH-camrs are people too and comments like this make my job so much better :) I hope your situation gets better! I hope you have a great weekend as well!
There's an option C for the People Mover: Find a way to cover the track portion. Keep it there since it's part of the architecture but disguise the top of it with tarps or some kind of decoration.
I was actually at Tokyo Disneyland two weeks ago, and they had their own version of the Mainstreet Electrical Parade called "Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights". It was amazing and I was really lucky to see it.
I went on Rocket Rods as a kid. I remember being very excited since it was cool fast cars but a bit bored on the ride itself. I don't think anyone in my family asked to go on again during that trip. I still like the idea of it but totally remember it being very meh.
i was quite young when i went to america, but i still remember being at california adventure with my parents. i wasnt aware at the time about the night time parade replaced by paint the night, but it was actually quite fun, i bought this paintbrush for the parade and as the lights would flash the paintbrush would make painting sound effects and change colours, i'm quite fond of it. still have it now tucked away in my room as an experience :) edit, im sorry if this paragraph was typed up weird lmao im not a native english speaker ;-;
25:20 I don't know why but when you mentioned the Signs being at Cal Expo, it gave me goosbumps. I myself never knew these signs came from Disney & Cal Expo being a childhood fair place I went to made me happy :) Especially since you mentioned "Sacramento" gave me goosebumps & happy
I worked at DCA back in 2009 in the Pacific Wharf food court area and quickest way to get to my location was this half-onstage-half-backstage path through A Bugs Land. Dodging guests in Bugs Land as I, a chronically late person, made my daily mad dash to clock in on time had me wishing we had utilidors like at WDW lol. ...............But here we are years later and the unthinkable has happened: I actually miss it. Wild.
I wrote my senior thesis paper on defunct theme park rides, with People Mover/Rocket Rods being one of my key examples of that, sometimes companies dont know whats best for their parks. The main reason the tracts cannot be used again is because Rocket Rods did significant damage to the metal rails in the track, so a new People Mover couldn't be added without a new track being installed. Also, as YourEverydayTheorist mentioned, removing the tracks would be impossible without serious work, since the track is load bearing to much of the buildings in Tomorrowland. Disneyland would have to close all of Tomorrowland to make any of these changes, something the park operators believe would be a waste of money. They DO have the money to fix the track, but loosing the revenue from that section of the park + possible complaints from guests seems to outweigh that decision.
Fr from layer 2 I don't mind being or having a single rider join me on a ride. This typically happens to me on rollercoasters and it's a chance to make a new funny memory talking to a new person when suddenly the ride starts and you're ganna hear eachother chaotically scream laugh. Rather be able to laugh with someone else than be too nervous to make eye contact with them.
Man, the Paint the Night parade was still the greatest parade I've ever seen. The creativity and engineering of those floats were absolutely amazing. I miss all the things on this list. I especially miss the old DCA. I loved the giant orange with the buzzing bees. And the Maliboomer.
Just unlocked the hidden memory with the giant California letters, I've got pictures somewhere with those and myself being about 5 or so. My mom passed a few weeks ago and Disney was her whole life. Tomorrow I'm going to the Oogie Boogie Bash with my sister, tears will shed but I'd rather have fun in the happiest place on earth with my sister for my mom
You avoided mentioning the fact that Bug’s Land was made for the “Bug’s life” movie. It feathered the characters and other parts of the movie, like a giant LEGO block and other giant pieces. I never went to the Cali Disneyland much, but I do remember that attraction. That was one of my favorite movies at the time.
I've never been to a Disney park or really grew with a lot of it's movies but it's so interesting to see how much a park can change throughout the years.
I didnt know about the peoplemovers stuff in disneyland. Back it Disney world the peoplemovers still exist and its one of my favorite rides. Its nice to take a chill chat with my friends and family whoever came with me at the time.
I really really loved old DCA. When I'd go with family friends when I was a kid, we'd spend the day in Disneyland and when we were done, spend the rest of the visit in DCA. It was always super chill and very pretty. I loved the brother bear play area. I think the appealing aspect of the park was how quiet and pleasant it was compared to the hype of disneyland
I went to California Adventure during a family reunion, around when Cars Land was opened and before the Pixar Pier retheme (I had a relative that worked for Disney for a time.) I felt kinda meh about it, and I only ever went on two of the rides there. I think I prefer the rides in the main park overall.
Supreme Leader: " You find me... beautiful?!" * fingernails clacking in front of my face* Also, my daughter has a lightbulb from the ladybug in the original Main Street Electrical Parade.
I remember when I went to Disney Land in Florida, and I saw the electrical parade. It was definitely one of my favorite things about Disney Land, in my opinion. That, and the meet and greets.
I got to see the old California sign when I was younger Can’t say much for the vibes but I do recall barfing my brains out directly onto the letter I. Good times.
@@gregr3720 if i remember right, we’d been out to eat right before and i over ate. i was really little at the time so i probably got way too excited haha
When I was a teenager, I use to take my two little brothers into A Bug's Land while my parents went to the Tower of Terror. My youngest brother LOVED Flik's Flyers. He use to ask me to go in again and again until my parents came and we switched off so I could go onto the Tower of Terror. Good times...
Not me, but my mother got to ride the Skyway many years ago! She visited in 1967 so she did not get to ride the original version, but that just means she got to ride the updated vehicles when they were still pretty new :) Despite her being only 7 at the time, she still has many vivid memories of her trip to the park. She's always had a fear of heights but she said she still found the experience enjoyable! Although not mentioned in this video (I know it will be in another video), she also vividly remembers riding Submarine Voyage, all the way down to the smell from the engines in the vehicles. And because it was 67', she was able to see the women dressed as mermaids in the lagoon!
Luigi's Flying Tires was a reskin of Flying Saucers that was in Tomorrowland back in the 60s. It was a hit or miss back then too but it's cool they brought it back in way for a time.
It wasn't a "reskin". It was a completely brand new attraction. A reskin is like how they took Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and changed it to Guardians of the Galaxy Mission: Breakout.
Another reason why rides like skyway and the people move get removed is because of structure support as a lot of the older structures didnt consider earthquakes common in cal and there is height limits to certain types of rides.
12:50 I’ve only seen the electrical parade twice in my life 🥺❤️ first time I was two years old in 1999 and last time was in 2017 when I was 19! I found it so nostalgic cause I still remember parts of the parade from my first time seeing it
When A Bugs Land opened, for a short period of time (maybe a year or two idk), there was one of those water playgrounds for kids, where there are holds in the ground that splash water up a few feet and kids run through and get all wet. this got shut off soon for obvious reasons lol, used to see wet feet prints all the way to Tower of Terror
Funnily enough, Yesterworld's earlier videos are actually less humorous in tone compared to Defunctland, which even Yesterworld himself addressed in one of his newer videos.
when we go to disney and we want to ride a ride we dont have a fast pass for, me and my dad will go in the single rider line because its always way shorter. and bc of the nature of the single rider line we'll usually get sat together anyway. pro tip for if you go to disney any time soon!
It's Tough to be a Bug made me hate that section of the park. There was a part where pressurized air shot out of the backs of the seats to simulate getting stung in the back by multiple bees. WHY Disney thought that was a good idea for kids is beyond me. I also got super mad that my grandma and grandpa didn't get "stung" because they lean forward when they sit.
I think i may have been one of the first to go to CA adventure haha. My parents were obsessed with soaring over CA. I didn't go for years after and later on when i went with friends i was amazed at how much they built it out. A bugs land the immersive movie thing freaked me out so bad as a kid lmao. I liked walking thru in terms of looking at the props and feeling smol
I'm a new subscriber. I love ice Bergs and Disney so this video made my recommended. I enjoy the detail and long form content. You give enough but not too much so I still have fun doing more research!
I was like 10 when we went to Disney in France and I saw Captain EO there, the Chewbacca character actor hit on my mom and I even got a plushy of the weird red butterfly rat thing - it was great
I got to experience the original California Adventure twice. Unfortunately, because my family decided to go there before Disneyland both times on the first day, I just remember being impatient (even though I wasn't a little kid when we went). It wasn't that I hated the park, I just really wanted to see Disneyland. I really loved the ferris wheel and the animation attraction the best, along with Soarin' Over California.
Ya know there was a good period of time wherr California adventurr had like no rides at all. Like maybe 5-10 good attractions compared to the long list of great ones that disneyland had. I feel like california adventure was such a scam when it first came out. But after 2012 it got really good rides My family did the same thing one time. Going to california over disneyland and Id get annoyed 😒
I'm confused as to when they are changing Splash mountain into princess and the frog because they closed it for a while and now it's opened again and it's completely the same theme. Supposedly they closed it for refurbishment. I'm so confused
I remember when I was like ten i started freaking the hell out at the “it’s tough to be a bug” show because at that time i was scared of bugs (also i was a paranoid ass kid and at some point thought i could not breath because i dont even remember) sooooo we made sure i avoided all the bugs life attractions but the weird part is i was perfectly fine with the movie just the attractions scared me.
Imma keep it real, I LOVE single rider rides. Yeah, you're sitting with people you know nothing about, but a shortcut to a ride? With a big line?? YES PLEASE!!!
Idk if this counts but in treasure island they had tones of snakes in cages yet since the place was abandon there are just empty cages everywhere with holes in them saying there were anacondas inside D:
i was at disney when rocket rods came out it broke down 4x while my family was on it we where stuck on it for a good bit was glad it was a cloudy day. We would take off then it would suddenly stop.. and take off and stop on the track. swear i still have back problems from that trip lol. Also the opening of California adventure had blaring beach boys music drove me insane.
I went on the Snow White ride when I was 3 my mum didn’t know it was scary. I still can’t watch Snow White and didn’t enjoy rides again until I was 20.
Luigi's Flying Cars is actually just a retheme of a DIsneyLand original ride that used to be in Tomorrowland. I forgot the name of it, but it's the exact same ride, just Cars themed instead of futuristic theme
@@theorist I just looked it up, it was called Disneyland's Flying Saucers. It even had the beach balls too and it closed for the same reasons Luigi's Flying Tires did (low capacity, negative reviews, etc.)
AS SOON as you mentioned captain EO my heart sped up. I was born in 2000 so quite a bit after this movie came out however, since the age of 2 Michael Jackson was my hero. I live in the UK and when I was about 10, I found out about this film on TH-cam and fell in love. Luckily in 2015 I was invited to go to DisneyWorld with my friend at the time and his family and I REALLY wanted to see this in person so.. I travelled to the other side of the world to see it. It was AMAZING. It was everything I dreamed of. I'm so glad I got to see it before it was removed from Epcot!! 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖😤😤 Michael is still my hero and I had his initials tattooed on my wrist for my first ever tattoo! 💖🙏

She visited in 1967 so she did not get to ride the original version, but that just means she got to ride the updated vehicles when they were still pretty new :) Despite her being only 7 at the time, she still has many vivid memories of her trip to the park. She's always had a fear of heights but she said she still found the experience enjoyable!
Although not mentioned in this video (I know it will be in another video), she also vividly remembers riding Submarine Voyage, all the way down to the smell from the engines in the vehicles. And because it was 67', she was able to see the women dressed as mermaids in the lagoon!
Luigi's Flying Tires was a reskin of Flying Saucers that was in Tomorrowland back in the 60s. It was a hit or miss back then too but it's cool they brought it back in way for a time.
I lowkey liked the ride. But it felt like nothing was happening half the time 😂
It wasn't a "reskin". It was a completely brand new attraction. A reskin is like how they took Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and changed it to Guardians of the Galaxy Mission: Breakout.
Commenting because this was great video and I want the algorithm to promote it :)
Good Man
The people mover kind of sounds like a horror ride. Like a factory, which just moves people. It’s both cute and terrifying.
Yesterland is hands down the best resource for finding out about closed Disney attractions on the web
The Jaws Ride was in a Universal video game back in the 90s. I saw a playthrough and still thought it was at the park today until now.
Another reason why rides like skyway and the people move get removed is because of structure support as a lot of the older structures didnt consider earthquakes common in cal and there is height limits to certain types of rides.
Oh wow. I actually didnt know this! Thanks for enlightening me :)
That wasn't the reason.
I love your icebergs video
Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed it!
Me too they are the best ones out there
12:50 I’ve only seen the electrical parade twice in my life 🥺❤️ first time I was two years old in 1999 and last time was in 2017 when I was 19! I found it so nostalgic cause I still remember parts of the parade from my first time seeing it
Cause I live in the UK I've only ever been once to disney world florida not disney land california which was back in 2008.
@@Chloe4656. it’s crazy cause I was two years old and still remember parts of my first time going! Like it’s a core memory for my love of Disney 😭
When A Bugs Land opened, for a short period of time (maybe a year or two idk), there was one of those water playgrounds for kids, where there are holds in the ground that splash water up a few feet and kids run through and get all wet. this got shut off soon for obvious reasons lol, used to see wet feet prints all the way to Tower of Terror
Funnily enough, Yesterworld's earlier videos are actually less humorous in tone compared to Defunctland, which even Yesterworld himself addressed in one of his newer videos.
Ooo. I guess i didnt notice. I watched his old stuff and his new stuff before making the video
if you are 18 and trying to jumb over train tracks its natural selection at that point
Bug’s Land was actually a part of my childhood since I was born the same year the land came out.
Great video! This iceberg is one of my favorites.
It says I watched this video, but I have no memories of this man's voice, and trust me I would 👁️👁️
when we go to disney and we want to ride a ride we dont have a fast pass for, me and my dad will go in the single rider line because its always way shorter. and bc of the nature of the single rider line we'll usually get sat together anyway. pro tip for if you go to disney any time soon!
Captain eo! My absolute favorite I was so devastated when they removed it 😭😭😭😭 idk how many times I watched it , to this day I still listen to it now
I've always wanted to go to one of the disney parks since i'm a big disney fan.
Yeah. I was lucky enough to have my mom work there so i grew up on disneyland. I hope you get to go soon!
my new favorite yt channel
I subscribed, so you better continue this series, I really loved this video
I am continuing it. But im doing this series different. Theres a TON more research than your average iceberg
alright so for the snow white ride at the Florida one, I confirm that this was pretty scary and I held my eyes closed for the whole thing.
LOL. I only ever got to ride the second version of the ride in socal
It's Tough to be a Bug made me hate that section of the park. There was a part where pressurized air shot out of the backs of the seats to simulate getting stung in the back by multiple bees. WHY Disney thought that was a good idea for kids is beyond me. I also got super mad that my grandma and grandpa didn't get "stung" because they lean forward when they sit.
I think i may have been one of the first to go to CA adventure haha. My parents were obsessed with soaring over CA. I didn't go for years after and later on when i went with friends i was amazed at how much they built it out. A bugs land the immersive movie thing freaked me out so bad as a kid lmao. I liked walking thru in terms of looking at the props and feeling smol
Wow, I'm not usually this early! I love your videos good sir, keep up the excellent work! ;)
Thanks! I try my best to put out awesome stuff. Glad to see everyones been enjoying it!
Can't wait for part 2!
Rocket Rods went so hard , I loved that as a kid
I'm a new subscriber. I love ice Bergs and Disney so this video made my recommended. I enjoy the detail and long form content. You give enough but not too much so I still have fun doing more research!
You wouldn't love icebergs if you were the Titanic.
I was like 10 when we went to Disney in France and I saw Captain EO there, the Chewbacca character actor hit on my mom and I even got a plushy of the weird red butterfly rat thing - it was great
I got to experience the original California Adventure twice. Unfortunately, because my family decided to go there before Disneyland both times on the first day, I just remember being impatient (even though I wasn't a little kid when we went). It wasn't that I hated the park, I just really wanted to see Disneyland.
I really loved the ferris wheel and the animation attraction the best, along with Soarin' Over California.
Ya know there was a good period of time wherr California adventurr had like no rides at all. Like maybe 5-10 good attractions compared to the long list of great ones that disneyland had.
I feel like california adventure was such a scam when it first came out. But after 2012 it got really good rides
My family did the same thing one time. Going to california over disneyland and Id get annoyed 😒
I'm confused as to when they are changing Splash mountain into princess and the frog because they closed it for a while and now it's opened again and it's completely the same theme. Supposedly they closed it for refurbishment. I'm so confused
Today is the last day to ride it. It's closed tomorrow and wait times today exceeded 3 hours.
The California adventure was the very first park I went into at DisneyLand. It was also where I road my very first roller coaster 🎢!
I love ice burgs and this is amazing keep up the good work
I remember when I was like ten i started freaking the hell out at the “it’s tough to be a bug” show because at that time i was scared of bugs (also i was a paranoid ass kid and at some point thought i could not breath because i dont even remember) sooooo we made sure i avoided all the bugs life attractions but the weird part is i was perfectly fine with the movie just the attractions scared me.
Holy heck!!! that snowwhite ride is pretty scary looking ,i would not go in there alone!!!
Man the peoplemover was my favorite ride when I was a kid.
Imma keep it real, I LOVE single rider rides. Yeah, you're sitting with people you know nothing about, but a shortcut to a ride? With a big line?? YES PLEASE!!!
Idk if this counts but in treasure island they had tones of snakes in cages yet since the place was abandon there are just empty cages everywhere with holes in them saying there were anacondas inside D:
You don't know if it counts for what? There was no Treasure Island at Disneyland.
i was at disney when rocket rods came out it broke down 4x while my family was on it we where stuck on it for a good bit was glad it was a cloudy day. We would take off then it would suddenly stop.. and take off and stop on the track. swear i still have back problems from that trip lol. Also the opening of California adventure had blaring beach boys music drove me insane.
I think it's pretty cool that a bunch of the rides in this are actually at disney world, or at least I believe so. I haven't been there that recently.
Fun fact: My grandfather had worked on Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and mabey a few others.
Nice… did he get free rides when it was done?
I went on the Snow White ride when I was 3 my mum didn’t know it was scary. I still can’t watch Snow White and didn’t enjoy rides again until I was 20.
The film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs isn't scary.
Loving the content, keep it up
Luigi's Flying Cars is actually just a retheme of a DIsneyLand original ride that used to be in Tomorrowland. I forgot the name of it, but it's the exact same ride, just Cars themed instead of futuristic theme
Ooo. I didnt know that!
@@theorist I just looked it up, it was called Disneyland's Flying Saucers. It even had the beach balls too and it closed for the same reasons Luigi's Flying Tires did (low capacity, negative reviews, etc.)
Flying saucers
It was a brand new attraction.
@@gregr3720 But the ride is exactly the same as the Flying Saucers in Tomorrowland from back in the day, just with a Cars theming
My dad has a story of me when I first when to Disneyland In 2009. Apparently I was so scared on snow whites scary adventures, that I came out crying 😭
The Wonderful Wizard of Braz
👀
AS SOON as you mentioned captain EO my heart sped up. I was born in 2000 so quite a bit after this movie came out however, since the age of 2 Michael Jackson was my hero. I live in the UK and when I was about 10, I found out about this film on TH-cam and fell in love. Luckily in 2015 I was invited to go to DisneyWorld with my friend at the time and his family and I REALLY wanted to see this in person so.. I travelled to the other side of the world to see it. It was AMAZING. It was everything I dreamed of. I'm so glad I got to see it before it was removed from Epcot!! 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖😤😤
Michael is still my hero and I had his initials tattooed on my wrist for my first ever tattoo! 💖🙏
