Attraction Checklist

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - During Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, Pirates of the Caribbean gets a few Halloween touches! In this episode, Grant rides the attraction to see what surprises lie in store! Recorded on August 16, 2019.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

As we head into the Halloween season, I thought it'd be fun to take a ride through one of the attractions at Walt Disney World that receives a few Halloween elements during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. This episode we ride Pirates of the Caribbean.

Here are five fast fact about Magic Kingdom's Pirates of the Caribbean during Mickey's Not SO Scary Halloween Party.

1. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is a special, separately ticketed event that takes place on select nights at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

2. For the 2018 Mickey's Not So Scary season, a new twist was added to Pirates of the Carribbean in the form of live actors dressed as pirates who were sprinkled thoroughout the attraction

3. Originally in 2018, the live actors told the story of searching for a pirate named 'Gunpowder Pete.' For the 2019 season, when this audio was recorded, though there were live actors throughout the ride, it seems that the Gunpowder Pete storyline has been dropped.

4. The live actors on the attraction are open to interaction from guests which makes each ride experience pretty unique.

5. Beginning in 2019 during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, guests were given chocolate doubloons as goodies as they exited the attraction.

Now lets head to Mickey's Not So Scary at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World to ride the special Halloween version of Pirates of the Carribbean. I have included a bit of the live pirate actors in the queue area before we board our boat, so you'll hear that first. After the attraction audio, I'll give you my thoughts on this experience and this is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we visit the special Halloween version of Pirates of the Caribbean at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - By request, let's fly away to the Sunshine Pavilion and experience Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room! We'll learn a little about this iconic attraction and then hear the whole show! Afterwards, Grant will give his thoughts on The Enchanted Tiki Room! Recorded on August 17, 2019.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode, by special request from Nicholas Floyd, we head to Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World to bask in the wonder that is Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room! Located in Adventureland, the guide map describes this attraction by saying Watch tropical birds and colorful flowers come to life. There are no age or height requirements for this show and because it is a show, there isn't a Thrill Level listed.

Before we fly off to the tropical hideaway, here are five fast facts about Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

1. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room was Magic Kingdom, opening day attraction, opening with the park on October 1, 1971.

2. The attraction was an exact copy of the attraction found at Disneyland albeit with a different pre-show and a slightly different name. When the Tiki Room opened in Walt Disney World it was called Tropical Serenade. It would jkeep this name for many years, eventually being renamed The Enchanted Tiki Room.

3. In September of 1997, The Enchanted Tiki Room was closed to make way an overhaul and the addition of new show elements for a new attraction called The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management). This new version of the attraction was much maligned by fans of the original mostly because of the addition of audio animatronics of Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King as well as more modern music.

4. In January of 2011, a fire broke out in the attic of the attraction, seriously damaging one of the Iago audio animatronics.

5. The attraction re-opened in August of 2011 and the Under New Management elements were stripped away and the show was restored to it original form, save for a few edits in the music to tighten up the show's running time.

Let's head off to Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room for a Tropical Serenade. After the attraction audio, I'll give you my thoughts on this attraction and this is a binaural recording, so if you have headphones, put them on now as we check out Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom!

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Join John B. deHaas and I as we take a hike up to the top of Tarzan's Treehouse at Disneyland! Recorded on December 2, 2018.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we take a hike to the top of Disneyland's Tarzan's Treehouse. Located in Adventureland, Tarzan's Treehouse is described on the Disneyland website by saying: Tour the legendary vine-swinger's jungle home—built in an 80-foot-tall tree—and experience life on the wild side. There are no height requirements for this attraction but guests must be ambulatory to experience it.

Before we visit Tarzan and Jane, here are five fast facts about Tarzan's treehouse at Disneyland.

1. Tarzan's Treehouse used to have much different residents. Originally opening in November of 1962, this was the Swiss Family Treehouse and it stayed that way until it's closure on March 8, 1999. The treehouse was then retimed to the Disney movie Tarzan and reopened on June 23, 1999.

2. The treehouse grew a little when it was retimed to Tarzan, gaining 10 more feet in the process!

3. The tree has been given the scientific name "Disneyodendron Semperflorens Grandis," which means "large, ever-blooming Disney tree."

4. Subtle nods to the Swiss Family Treehouse are present in Tarzan's Treehouse, including the Mind Thy Head sign which is still present.

5. Eagle eyed guests will spot a Beauty and the Beast Easter egg in a teapot and chipped tea cup that bear a striking resemblance to Mrs. Potts and Chip.

Now let's swing up to Tarzan's Treehouse. Joining me today is John B. deHaas and after we walk through we'll discuss our thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we head to Tarzan's Treehouse at Disneyland!

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - As the Galaxy's Edge celebration continues, we take a ride on the pre-Batuu Space Mountain overlay known as Hyperspace Mountain. Recorded on May 13, 2019.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

As we celebrate the opening of Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, let's take a ride on a pre-Batuu attraction, the Space Mountain overlay known as Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain. Hyperspace Mountain is described on the Disneyland website by saying: Hurtle through hyperspace while dodging furious dogfights during this high-speed Star Wars adventure! Riders must be 40" or taller to ride this attraction that the thrill level describes as being a thrill ride with small drops that is Dark Loud and Scary. Fast Passes are available for this attraction and a single rider line is available.

Before we fire up the hyper drive, here are 5 fast facts about Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain.

1. Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain first blasted into Disneyland on November 14, 2015 as part of the Season of the Force event celebrating the release of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens film.

2. According to Walt Disney Imagineering's Executive Creative Director Brent Strong, it only takes a single hour to change Space Mountain from the classic version to Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain. He is quoted as saying, "The longest part from switching from classic Space Mountain to Hyperspace Mountain is actually putting up the marquee in front of the attraction."

3. The development of Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain started with the music of Star Wars composer John Williams. Imagineers would edit together different pieces of the score and then ride the attraction with headphones and personal audio devices to see how the music timed out with the ride.

4. The new soundtrack for Hyperspace Mountain was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at famed Abby Road Studios.

5. According to the storylines, the space battle that takes place during the ride is actually the one that caused all the wrecked Star Destroyers on the planet of Jakku that the character of Rey is searching through in the beginning of The Force Awakens.

Now it's time to ride Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain. After the ride I'll talk about my thoughts on this attraction and, this is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we experience Star Wars Hyper Space Mountain at Disneyland!

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - In this episode we visit Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland to take THREE rides on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Recorded on June 3, 2019.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This is a special supersized episode of Attraction Checklist as we celebrate the opening of Galaxy's Edge with not one but THREE rides on the brand new attraction Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run!

The guidemap describes this attraction by saying: Fly the Millennium Falcon on a thrilling interactive smuggling mission. Guests must be 38" or taller in order to ride and the Thrill Level describes the ride as being a thrill ride with small drops that is Dark and Loud. FastPass will eventually be available for this attraction and there is a single rider line.

Before we get our marching orders from Hondo, here are five fast facts about Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

1. Though fans knew a Millennium Falcon attraction was being built for Galaxy's Edge, it didn't receive its official name, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, until November 17, 2018 when it was announced at Destination D.

2. After going through some early previews, the ride officially opened to the public at Disneyland on May 31, 2019.

3. The storyline of the attraction puts it immediately after 2017's The Last Jedi. Chewbacca has brought the Millennium Falcon to Black Spire Outpost to receive some repairs after the events in that film.

4. The animatronic of Hondo that is featured in the preshow area of the attraction is one of the most advanced, next generation A1000 Animatronics ever built. It features 51 total functions, 10 in the head alone! Taking a cue from Ben Franklin and Olaf, this animatronic even appears to take a few steps as if walking!

5. The outcome of the attraction depends on how well you and your crew work as a team and because of that there can be little variations in the film and the on ride dialogue. Another difference depends on when you ride the attraction. If it's during the day, you take off during the day. Ride the attraction at night, and you take of a night. A great little detail.

Well now let's ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. I have three versions of the ride for you. We will skip the queue and go right to the ride for my first ride and review. Then we'll check out the queue and the preshow for my third ride through the attraction. The first and third rides have different outcomes so listen for those. Finally, I was fortunate enough to get to ride the attractions SOLO! So that audio will bring up the rear. In addition to my reviews, I have a special review with Paul Barrie of the Window To The Magic Podcast at the very end of this episode. And one last thing, if you'l like to hear 50 minutes of me describing my entire, two day, trip to Galaxy's Edge, it is available as a bonus episode to the Saturday Morning Media Patreon Patron who pledge $5 or more a month. Okay, let's hit the hyper drive! This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we experience Disneyland's Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run!

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we check out the latest show offering at Disney California Adventure, Mickey's PhilharMagic! Located in Hollywood Land in Disney California Adventure Park, Mickey's PhilharMagic is described on the Disneyland Resort website by saying: Immerse yourself in the wonder of Disney animation and music when you experience this 12-minute, 3D movie starring Donald Duck. There are no age or height requirements for this attraction.

Before we don our opera glasses, here are five fast facts about Mickey's PhilharMagic.

1. Mickey's PhilharMagic opened at Disney California Adventure on April 26, 2019.

2. The first iteration of Mickey's PhilharMagic opened at Walt Disney World in October of 2003 in a specially built theater. Because the former MuppetVision 3D theater in California Adventure is smaller, a smaller version of the film is used. This is similar to the version that opened in Disneyland Paris in 2018.

3. The attraction is the second collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Animation Studios, the first being the nighttime spectacular Fantastic!

4. Most of Donald Duck's dialogue used in the film is archival recordings of Donald's original voice actor, Clarence Nash.

5. The Little Mermaid animator, Glen Keane returned to render Ariel in 3D for the attraction and Beauty and the Beast animator Nik Ranieri returned to animate Lumiere.

Now let's check out Mickey's PhilharMagic! After the performance, I'll share my thoughts with you on this attraction and this is recorded in binaural audio so you'll want to put on your headphones! Here is Mickey's PhilharMagic at Disney California Adventure!
