Someone might have already said this but I’m pretty sure I heard somewhere that the Snow White animatronic is now at the Snow White ride in Disneyland Paris

Beauty Inside A Box

Ughh I love this

Melody Glenn

I went on Maelstrom as a kid! The trolls TERRIFIED me. 😂

Ingrid Russmann

Cutting Alice but not the Song of the South section from the original Mickey Mouse Revue video is certainly a choice.

Kit

I want to see kitchen cabaret so bad now. I had no idea what it was until now. I’m obsessed.

I have spent decades thinking the dinosaur going back in time ride was a weird dream I had as a kid

Jane Leach

maelstrom really scared me as a kid but i also really loved it

alex

Omg Maelstrom was my family’s favorite ride! We ended up riding it near the end of the night during the Epcot wine festival and everyone else on the ride was hammered and it made it so fun. We were so sad to learn they replaced it

Is the Hollywood ride with the caves a Plato reference? Images projected on the wall and all that? Hollywood and Plato's Allegory of the Cave: the Flume Ride

Eliot Joy

Oh I think I did the Tiki Room Under New Management. I'm not a amusement park afficionado but Idk, it was entertaining.

Nicholas Bauer

Rip the great movie ride as well. It was one of my faves as a kid I so vividly remember freaking out at the alien scene haha

When Jenny said "You're going back in time!" I had a viscery memory of riding the Knott's dinosaur ride as a kid. I would never have remembered if I had just heard the name on it own. Weird. 🦕

Joe Robinson

Aragog looks very smart in his flower hat, I had an excellent, hideous version that was a strawberry like this as a tween. it suits him much better

One thing Nemo Submarine Adventure did that frustrated Jenny was the weird line from the captain saying we can "actually hear the fish talk". Why is that there?! It's a callback to the original Submarine Voyage narration. The captain told us this new sonar hydrophone technology means we can "actually hear the fish talk", and then we hear some weird (fake?) fish noises.

Omg, finally subscribed and this is the first video I watched. I think about Hollywood tour quite often. When I rode it at like thirteen it still had “The birds” scene and it was maybe the scariest thing I had ever seen especially the jerky murderous birds tearing at that bad blonde wig. Riding it felt like making a vague scary memory in real time. But as a morbid kid I did love it a lot and it cemented my fascination and love of dark rides.

i'm very similar in that i think roller coasters are fun and i'd try them out, but what I truly love is a ride that's well themed! my favorite roller coasters at my local park are the ones that are highly themed, rather than JUST a roller coaster. theming and learning about a ride's lore just makes them so much better i wish smaller parks utilized it more (but i understand since its so expensive). also i've never heard of horizons at epcot before, i've slowly been getting into learning about theme parks these past couple of years but i guess i still have much to learn about! the ride looks so detailed and fun, i wish i had been able to ride it!

aw i also miss submarine voyage ;-;

I’ll never forgive Movie World Gold Coast for not only removing the Looney Tunes River Ride but replacing it with a children’s driving track around an empty mock-up of the park. Technically adults can ride it but the cars are so small you have to sit on boot of the car with you legs in the seat area and kinda hunch over the steering wheel. As far as I know, they didn’t even reuse any of the animatronics in it, it’s just facades with a couple of plastic statues. I’m at least glad to hear that the German park hasn’t completely abandoned it 🥲

Maus

I'm from Germany and went on the Hollywood Tour numerous times, especially on one occasion with my sister. She was like 10 years old and she was SCARED TO DEATH. In my recollection, the ride wasn't that scary, but after rewatching it with you I have to apologize to my sister for making fun of her. This looks so scary, I can't believe I enjoyed it at that time.

Wow I never would've gotten that in a million years

Jenny Nicholson

Super late to the party, but those "random" mice from Mickey Mouse Revue are Monty Citymouse and Abner Countrymouse from the 1936 animated short film "The Country Cousin"

i remember specifically learning that the snow white dancing in the cottage at the end of the seven dwarfs mine train was reused/repurposed from an older attraction. that was in 2014 when we had a disney tour guide who took us on the train a few times and obviously told us lore and stuff. i don't distinctly remember Him Saying That Fact, nor do i remember the attraction of origin--only so many options though--but i'm not sure where else i would've gotten that idea at the time

I went to Epcot once, and Maelstrom was such a wonderful highlight in an area of the park that didn't have a lot of rides like that. I'll always be salty that they got rid of it!

Garrett Gilchrist

Im from near Phantasialand and have ridden Hollywood tour many times and it scared me so much when i was a kid lmao. They also used to have a 1001 night (?) themed ride where you drove into a dragon's mouth and a silvermine one in what used to be the wild west land/area of the park. i wish i could talk to jenny directly about the park's history and older rides cuz im not sure how much you find on the english internet about it.

meadowstream

Kong was AMAZING! It scared the crud out of me as a kid, but was actually a really good ride when I got older.

The milk carton in Kitchen Kabaret was reused in Food Rocks! He sings an updated version of The Police's "Every Breath You Take" called "Every Bite You Take" and it's about dairy foods. I was a kid when Food Rocks was there so i love it lol.

Omg I have experienced the “Under New Management” version of the Tiki Room! Completely forgot about it until you mentioned it.

Rachel Paige

i also miss the carousel. It was so beautiful, definitely one of my favorite carousels I miss it so much but no one remembers it :'( I am also so, so sorry you never got to experience maelstrom. That was such a fun ride and I went on it when I was young enough that the trolls still scared me a little bit. Definitely peak time to ride it. I also agree with you about frozen, the blank hallway annoys me so much. They took away a ride with such character just to have THAT. I feel like they also did this with the navi river journey. They blew their budget on the shaman and the rest of the ride is pretty barren. every time i went on it some of the projections just were not working and now it's at a point where the shaman breaks down so much that i don't think there's a single thing in there that works 100% of the time.

Marisa Leon

Wait so was my old teddy ruxpin doll technically an audioanimatronic?? (I'm sorry if this observation has already been made, there are 220 previous comments and I simply cannot)

Chris Tierney

i think about king tritons carousel all the time!!! its so special and nostalgic to me and i miss those airbrushed colorful sea creatures so much :,( i want to own one in my home

Maddy

This video made me realize that I might be a closeted coaster bro. (I mean I do not use like the nerd terms to describe a track, other than air time but that seems pretty self explanatory way to describe when your butt is out of your seat. But hearing that 'all coasters are pretty much the same' hit me and made me react in a way I was not expecting.)

Doll D

Lol, I just noticed that they actually had to stop having the live mermaids in the lagoon because the water was making them sick... and that was in the early 70s...

Lynae Zebest

I am so squicked out that they would have divers in that water... the water was/is heavily contaminated with heavy metals, lead, mercury, etc because the same water circulates throughout basically the whole park & all the gas-powered motors were running in the water etc. I know this cuz my dad was part of the team who cleaned the waterways ~1989... after Disney had been just paying the daily EPA violation fees for years. They wore full body protection for this work. To the best of his knowledge there hasn't been another cleaning since then, though it's possible.

Lynae Zebest

Maelstrom being taken out for the frozen ride is a perfect example of like “remember what they took from you” it was one of my favorite rides in Disney and was my fave in Epcot. I was so upset when they switched it out.

Libby

Can confirm you got a roller coaster bro on patreon

Bibs McTavish

This was a great first video to watch after pledging 🤠

Not sure if someone else has brought this up, but the only reason i can think of to set the Hollywood Tour ride in a cave would be in reference to how film prints are commonly stored in old salt mines to help prolong their life. The air in those mines is naturally cool/dry, which is ideal for storing negatives. It's a stretch for sure...but maybe?

Ian Ramsay

My dad hates theme parks, Disney World, and most rides because he has severe motion sickness, however he LOVED Malestrom when I was younger. He went on it 9 times in one day once. He loved it. I thought it was the best ride in Epcot because my dad was so excited about it for so long. We would get to Epcot and run STRAIGHT to Malestrom. I really didn’t realize how unpopular this ride was until I was much older. Thanks for reminding me of that, Jenny!

Thank you for describing exactly why newer Disney rides underwhelm me. I was do excited for the Na'vi River Journey or whatever it's called, then got on and it was like 7 minutes, had a couple projections, then a SUPER DETAILED shaman at the end.

Michael Castleberry

I am so curious if Jenny has any favorite theme park vloggers! I’m almost positive she has watched some as theme parks are her passion but to my knowledge she has never named any in her videos. I personally love Magic Journeys, Fresh Baked and the Tim Tracker!

Ariel Ash

I saw Finding Dory in my 30s with a theater full of small children, and throughout the Pixar short and then the intro scenes with baby Dory one toddler just kept yelling "WHERE'S DORY? WHERE'S DORY?" so that's how I imagine Jenny on the first section of the Finding Nemo ride.

Susan Held

That Hollywood Adventure ride is genuinely one of the creepiest rides I’ve ever seen… no roller coaster could ever

Lindsey Freeman

When you were talking about Kingdom of the Dinosaurs and how if it were still around kids would be filming TikToks of them "slapping the triceratops or whatever" I had to take a moment to stop laughing because of that image.

Markus D

Great job Jenny, loved the video! Keep it up!

Just got home from Disney World and appropriately appreciated Sonny Eclipse and Orange Bird thanks to you! 🍊
