http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Do you believe that elephants can fly? Well you will. Because today we head to Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World to ride the Dumbo the flying elephant attraction on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on May 21, 2025. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we're off to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom to ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant.

There are no age or height requirements or a thrill level listed for this attraction. Before we grab our magic feathers and soar to the skies, here are five fast facts about Dumbo the Flying Elephant at Magic Kingdom. 1. Dumbo the Flying Elephant was a Magic Kingdom opening day attraction, opening with the park on October 1, 1971 2. When the attraction originally opened, there were only 10 elephant ride vehicles. 6 more were added in 1993, when the attraction got a completely new ride mechanism. 3. On opening day in 1971, the attraction was missing two important elements. First, Timothy the Mouse was not in his position atop the 'disco ball' on the center spire of the attraction, and the elephant ride vehicles weren't wearing hats! The ride vehicles were updated shortly after opening and Timothy made his debut in 1972. 4. In 2011, Fantasyland went under construction and as part of it, the Dumbo attraction was relocated and updated with a entire second carousel and an interactive queue. 5. The second carousel was build to spin clockwise from the original version. The attraction audio recorded for this episode is available exclusively to the Saturday Morning Media Patron Patron.

160 - The Amazing Spider-Man! - Disney California Adventure

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Let's head to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure to check out the high flying stunt show known as The Amazing Spider-Man! On this episode of attraction checklist. Attraction audio recorded on July 30, 2023. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we're visit Disney California Adventure to experience the, brief, stunt show called The Amazing Spider-Man! Now here's a first in Attraction Checklist history, I cannot find any mention of this show anywhere on the Disneyland website. I was able to find it in the entertainment listings on the Disneyland App where it is described by saying: Watch out for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man along the rooftop of the WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure building. You may even get a chance to meet him, up close! Since this is a show, there are no age or height requirements or a thrill level listed for this experience. Before we shove off, here are five fast facts about the Liberty Square Riverboat in Magic Kingdom. 1. The Amazing Spider-Man! debuted with Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure on June 4, 2021. The show featured a combination of human and robotic performers. 2. The Amazing Spider-Man! Takes on the rooftop of the W.E.B. building that houses the WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure attraction we reviewed back in episode 124. 3. The centerpiece of the show is a high flying stunt performed by a robot imagineers have dubbed a Stuntronic. This acrobatic robot is able to perform somersaults and twists as it flies through the air. 4. The robot Stuntronic got an extra year of development thanks to the COVID-19 Pandemic. During this time, imagineers were able to perfect what the robot could do. In fact, they made it too perfect where it could land complex moves each time it soared through the air. Show directors reminded the Imagineers that Spide-Man is far from perfect, so they reprogrammed the robot to be a little more out of control. 5. On November 17, 2024, the stunt performers who performed in the show were informed that the stunt portion of the show was going to be removed. The Stuntronic Spider-Man still flies through the air several times each day but gone are the rooftop tumbling portions of the show. The audio recorded for this episode was made before that change happened. Let's head to Avengers Campus to see The Amazing Spider-Man!. John B. deHaas is along for the fun and after the show audio we'll give you our thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience The Amazing Spider-Man! At Disney California adventure!

Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom - Walt Disney World

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Prepare for launch! We are headed to Magic Kingdom to ride Space Mountain on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on June 4, 2024. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we visit Magic Kingdom and ride the classic attraction Space Mountain. The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Blast off on a rip-roaring rocket into the furthest reaches of outer space on this roller-coaster ride in the dark. Guests must be 44" or taller to ride this attraction and the Thrill Level calls it a Thrill Ride with Big Drops in the Dark. Before we head to Starport: Seven Five, here are five fast facts about Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain. 1. Space Mountain opened at Magic Kingdom on January 15, 1975. 2. Space Mountain was originally conceived by Walt Disney for an attraction at Disneyland. In 1964, Walt Disney started John Hench on the idea of a space themed roller coaster initially called Space Voyage. It wasn't until 1966 that imagineers christened it Space Mountain for the first time. The technology at the time made building the attraction in Disneyland impossible, but there was plenty of room at Magic Kingdom so Space Mountain appeared in Walt Disney World promotional materials as early at 1969. 3. There are two tracks on Space Mountain at Walt Disney World, Alpha and Omega. They are near identical in that they are 65ft (or 19.8m) high, have a drop of 26 feet (7.9m) and whisk you along at 27 mph (or 43.5 km/h). The difference between the two tracks comes in where track length is concerned. Alpha track's 3196ft (974.1m) of track is 10 ft (or 3m) longer than Omega's 3186 ft (971.1 m) 4. The first official rider on Space Mountain in 1975 was astronaut Colonel James Irwin. 5. Space Mountain holds the distinction of being the oldest operating roller coaster in all of Florida. Let's ride Space mountain. After the ride audio I'll give you my thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom.

Liberty Square Riverboat - Magic Kingdom - Walt Disney World

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - It's time to take a leisurely cruise around the Rivers of America as we head to Magic Kingdom to ride the Liberty Square Riverboat on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on June 6, 2024. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we're going to hop aboard the Liberty Belle for a cruise on the Liberty Square Riverboat. The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Cruise the scenic Rivers of America aboard an authentic steam-powered paddle wheeler. There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and the thrill level describes the attraction as being a slow ride. Before we shove off, here are five fast facts about the Liberty Square Riverboat in Magic Kingdom. 1. The Liberty Square Riverboat attraction opened at Walt Disney World on October 2, 1971. The first boat that served was called the Admiral Joe Fowler, named after Joe Fowler who was in charge of construction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. In 1973, a second river boat was added named the Richard F. Irvine. In 1986, that boat was renamed to Liberty Belle which still runs the Rivers of America today. An interesting note is that the original boat, the Admiral Joe Fowler was damaged in a dry dock incident and was retired in 1980. 2. The Liberty Belle is a steam-powered sternwheeler replica. Sternwheeler means there is one paddle wheel on the rear or stern of the ship. A steam engine pulled water from the river to turn into steam to power the paddlewheel. 3. The Liberty Belle is 47 feet tall and features four decks for guests to visit during the ride. 4. During the 17 minute trip, a narrator, in the in the voice of Mark Twain points out the sights guests see as they travel down the river including an early American settlement, a Native American village and Big Thunder Mountain. 5. The captain on the narration track is named Horace Bixby who was a real riverboat captain who mentored Samuel Clemons aka Mark Twain. Let's head to Liberty Square for a ride on the Liberty Belle.
