about

Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their look at how Disney California Adventure Park was transformed in the late 2000s / early 2010s. This time around, they talk about how veteran Imagineer Kevin Rafferty developed an area for DCA that would have celebrated California car culture

lyrics

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

What impact did Anaheim’s city fathers have on the look & design of the West Coast Version of Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Which Disney fan favorites did Kevin Rafferty work on during his 40+ year career at WDI

Which character from “Cars” was originally supposed to play the lead role in that John Lasseter film

What were the two rides that Kevin wanted Guests to find at the end of Cruise Street

Which classic Disneyland ride was Roadtrip U.S.A. supposed to remind DCA visitors of (Bonus question: What aspect of that now-defunct attraction inspired the finale of Cruise Street’s proposed E-Ticket)
