Episode Description
In this bonus episode, we build the ultimate global Disney theme park. We asked Nathan to build a park with 12 rides - one from each Disney park in the world. He added the fun wrinkle of wanting a balanced theme park (ride wise), so picked one of each of the following types of rides:
E-Ticket Dark Ride
Old School Dark Ride
Omnimover
Miscellaneous Dark Ride
Modern Coaster
Classic Coaster
Spinning Rides
Water/Boat Ride
Slot Car Ride
Drop Ride
Narrated Ride
Transport Ride
There were a few surprises, but we loved the park he built! We hope you will too. (For a visual list, check out the Youtube version of this video).
What attractions would you put in your ultimate global Disney theme park? Let us know by e-mailing disneydeciphered AT gmail DOT com, messaging us on Twitter, or leaving a comment on our Facebook page. You can also follow us on Instagram now!
