  canada's wonderland has shamed this ride with their current version only thing that works anymore on it is the coaster on the tracks, no effects, no sounds, nothing. Miss this version.

  This was my FAV ride on Tomorrowland! The sounds alone (especially that scream when the Rocket Rods themselves were in motion) I’ll never forget!

  Amazing quality for one of the very few videos of this ride. Too bad GM backed out and the tracks were not banked so the ride could not be maintained when the Imagineers put this ride together. It should have been rebuilt like Test Track at Epcot which is supported by GM but instead with the short cuts made the cement could not take the beating with the heavier cars and after just a few years the ride was closed permanently, and the track cannot be used for anything now so it sits abandoned above Disneyland while Disney World remained true to its original design and still operates in 2024.

  Your channel is amazing!! Thank you so much for all the work you've done to make amazing experiences like this. I remember coming to USF with a friend in middle school and riding MIB over and over for hours because it was a slow day and the line was short. I know its always exciting to see new rides or parks open but i wish more effort was put into keeping older rides in the best possible condition. If MIB got a really nice refurbishment I'd be so happy. Even as it is its one of my must-dos whenever I visit. Anyways, thank you again. 😭

  I toured this preview center in late 1997 and still have the pre-opening IOA shirt that I bought there. However, I didn't remember how large and elaborate it was compared to today's rather skimpy Epic Universe preview center, which I visited recently. The IOA preview center tried to create the experience of actually walking through the finished park, and Citywalk too. The Epic center is more like a simple map room with merchandise. There's also much less lead time before the park opening. I suppose the greater availability of public information today accounts for a lot of the downscaling. You can find an endless supply of Epic construction photos and preview videos online if desired. A physical place to hold introductory info to help market the park just isn't as important in 2024.

  It's too bad that nighttime spectacular never came to pass. The commentary from everyone is also fascinating, knowing that Islands of Adventure was not only a huge step up from the Studios but also for the industry.

  Six months from opening, IOA did seem quite far off from opening. And look how they pulled it through. Epic now looks pretty much where IOA was when this was filmed. What a fascinating piece! Thanks for sharing!

  This is amazing footage! Was there on the 25th anniversary a few days ago, it’s pretty cool to see ripsaw falls under construction, and a full walkthrough of the cat in the hat. Wish they would take more care of that ride, especially the animatronics, some of them have stains on them, just about all of the Cat animatronics do not move as good as they used to, got some pics too. The fish animatronics seem to be working fine. As for Ripsaw and Popeyes, seems they have been fixing a lot of the effects and animatronics back into decent working order, some of the ones that weren’t working last time I went back in March are now working very good. Other than that much of the park looks the same as it did on opening day. Thanks so much for sharing this!
