Disneyland's Blast to the Past (Second Gate)
Added 2024-09-18 07:00:10 +0000 UTCIn 1988, Michael Eisner approved a foolproof plan to attract more locals to Disneyland: park some hot rods on Main Street and decorate the park like a cheap 50s sock hop.

I'm listening at work and between the 50s greaser voices and the rock n roll conversation I'm losing it, thank you. This is one of the episodes that feels like a very mild fever dream and those are my favorite.

2024-09-20 21:56:24 +0000 UTCMy grandmother always used to talk about how nobody wore poodle skirts in the 50s 😂 She said maybe one girl from her school had one if that 🤣

Six Fogs Great Adventure
2024-09-19 23:10:52 +0000 UTCRandom suggestion but have yall considered covering the very faithful theme park recreations in Roblox? One has an insanely accurate recreation of the amazing spider man at IOA

2024-09-19 02:47:45 +0000 UTC$69 is an awesome ticket price? Get thee to Japan - just bought a one day passport to Tokyo Disneyland next week for $62.68. Haven’t hit Beast or the Baymax curry at Disneyland yet, so that what I will look forward to at the moment. It will also be my first solo trip to Disney! Might try late January for the Fantasy Springs visit - prolly still too annoying to visit right now.

2024-09-18 21:15:23 +0000 UTCIn my opinion Chappel Roan is the most rock 'n roll artist to hit it big in the last decade, maybe more.

2024-09-18 20:05:38 +0000 UTCOmg I was screaming during the intro coz this was on during my first trip to Disney as a kid & I have so many pictures of the parade.

2024-09-18 19:22:38 +0000 UTCbay city rollers my first favorite band as a tiny child, i thought they wrote both “rebel rebel” and “i only want to be with you” and their pop sensibilities absolutely fed my eventual rundgren worship. anyway i am once again suggesting styx “kilroy was here” album/videos/tour/implosion

2024-09-18 17:35:01 +0000 UTCi'm fairly certain that the moniker of "mr. rock and roll" is not self-assigned.

2024-09-18 16:45:50 +0000 UTCA little shocked you didn’t mention the Submarine Voyage “overlay” where they would play really cheesy 50s songs accompanied by puns a la the eventual Dive restaurant

2024-09-18 16:17:07 +0000 UTCI know it's not NEARLY on the same scale, but let's be real, the modern equivalent of a Disney Parks decade throwback event is Eat To The Beat.
David Ganssle
2024-09-18 14:58:21 +0000 UTCAs much as the sterilized version of the 50s is whack, the likes of John Waters and Tim Burton subverted it to be cool again somehow. When I went to Disney MGM Hollywood Studios in the early 2000’s, that spirit was alive and well (see “Sci-fi Dine-in Theater”).
