Jim Hill tells us what it took to finally seal the deal to get the construction of the original Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland Park greenlit back in February of 1977.

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

How EPCOT has changed the meet-n-greet set-up at that theme park’s Norway pavilion to allow Guests to have a COVID-safe interaction with Anna & Elsa

Which West Coast coaster is now credited with launching the thrill ride arms race that then swept through Southern California’s theme parks in the late 1970s

Which Disney Legend went from playing an apprentice witch to portraying a murderous meat pie maker on Broadway to then voicing a maternal teapot

How long after Walt Disney World’s version of Space Mountain opened did the Disneyland version of this Tomorrowland attraction then come online

Which Swift-sponsored restaurant did Walt have torn down in 1962 to make room for New Orleans Square
