The Fantasmic stage, and how they not only disguise it from guests during the day but also let guests walk on it... is one of my favorite bits of Disney Magic.

Thank goodness Walt gave into having a thrill ride. Can't be Matterhorny without the Matterhorn!

Get the feeling these creatives truly love their work. It's hard, yeah...but probably a ton of fun for their type of minds.

My first time in the parks was in 2022. As a professional videographer, my first observation was how there are so many beautiful sightlines in the parks. It’s a treat to film there. Like a kid in a candy store.

It’s a beautiful set just waiting for stories to be told on it.

I appreciate that you point out the little things that all together make Disneyland an amazing feat of creative engineering. Thanks Brickey!

Love the line "people, we're feral"😅

So much creative problem solving went into the park. It’s a testament to the art and forward thinking of Disney and his crew. Like you mentioned in other videos, buildings that share facilities and border multiple lands, large buildings that have multiple facades like on Main Street, and Disney’s ability to disguise a roller coaster by theming.Reminds me of the saying in Engineering, “create a problem that you go back and solve” thanks Brickey!

Imagine "Crash Test Walt" on the Matterhorn. What a sight that would have been! Did it even have seat belts? Love learning about Disneyland with you Brickey! Keep these awesome videos coming!

Crash Test Walt 😂

As mentioned elsewhere on your site, I am building a garden railroad version of Disneyland. This post describes the problem that anyone building a model of Disneyland has. That being which ‘Disneyland’ do you build so it is constantly changing. I took a similar approach to the model at The Walt Disney Family Museum, in San Francisco. The first time there I stared at that model for hours. At that time they didn't allow people to video anything. I memorized and took notes with drawings.

As a designer myself I love the technical wavelength of your channel, keep it up

Another Banger of a video! Always love to see that transformation of the rivers of America into a performance Arena when I worked on West Side as a cast member!

On point. Nice production.

Great video, Brickey! Love everything you do!

Loved the simple to complex ideation explanation in this that really helps us less design informed build our knowledge. Really appreciated the variety of shots used, especially with the different “to camera” shots that made it a dynamic and engaging video. Also, 40k! You beauty!

I just saw “Third Man On the Mountain” a few nights ago for the first time! I knew it was inspiration for the Matterhorn but didn’t know it was actually filmed at the base of it. Very cool! There were some tense parts in that movie. 😅

Creating Fantasmic! was definitely genius!

Dude - Disneyland should offer a high priced private tour for business teams that goes through the creative design process from problem identification to measuring the success so teams can ideate through the imagineering process

I rope drop the park and go to where I know no one else will be and I collect those shots for future videos. My goal is always for you to never be able to make out anyone's face in my videos. It's a lot of extra work, but it's the polite thing to do.

Let’s go Brickey! A video on my two most favorite things at Disneyland!!!! The Matterhorn a landmark attraction that paved the way for steel rail coaster designs and the undisputed most imaginative show creative designing and engineering of THE best nighttime show at the Disney Parks! I cannot even speak enough in this comment section of how much impressive engineering and problem solving was done to disguise all the show elements! Murphy alone was a true marvel. Though plague with issues it was arguably one of the most impressive large scale animatronics. R.I.P. Huge shout out to Barnette Ricci, Garner Holt and Bob Gurr! 🙌🏾

13:00 bro turned into disney dan with that laugh.

I don't know if you can confirm or deny the story about Tom Sawyer's Island. I remember reading that anything related to Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens was property of the State of Missouri. So Tom Sawyer's Island is technically a territory of the State of Missouri! Since it qualifies as an island and is surrounded by a body of water, with the name of an intellectual property of Mark Twain, it is a territory of the state of Missouri. Is their truth to this?

@PariahQuail
