That molecular song over the Vietnam footage *mwah* beautiful. Can't wait for the next one! Ps the Vietnam part was a welcome aside if your ever interested +able too could expand into different topics you find interesting im sure it would be good!

defuntland has been such a gemstone for me to discover during lockdown and just gives me some time to imagine being in these amazing displays and rides. i could get sad that i'll never see them, but even with global pandemic aside i'll probably never get to visit disney lol so this is fun for me

I'm surprised you didn't mention the spiritual successor to Inner Space, the Body Wars motion simulator ride at Epcot, which combined the technology of Star Tours with the shrinking narrative and edutainment concept from Inner Space.

Your series’ should get picked up by a tv channel or stream service cause these are some of the best productions of ever seen on IRpost. You deserve to to go pro!

I'm not crying, you are crying...

I always liked disney's vision and architecture of the future. With those clean white sleek buildings and vast open grassy plains

This ride kinda freaked me out when I was a kid.

This Disneyland Attraction is amazing! Oh, I thought it was the Submarine ride.

21:03 I'm sorry, the prince's _what?_

Proud of you for holding off till the 30min mark before mentioning Eisner.

"Miracles from Molecules" played over the Agent Orange footage was brilliant

It'd be amazing to work on a Disney Land/World Attraction! I mean I always wanted to work for Disney, even though now a days they're not the same ones I wanted to work for, it would have been a great experience!

Great work as always. Why do teenagers ruin everything? And hippies were wrong then as they are now. Stop any hippy thoughts from your brains.

Hmm, it's too bad the movie Innerspace was a Warner Brother's property. It seems like a perfect fin to replace the ride. That or Fantastic Voyage (a Fox property).

"Oh neat! Fun trivia about an old theme park ride!" *Defunctland takes us to a dark place with the US's crimes against humanity* "Oh God. Yeah. That was definitely sombering..." Thank you Defunctland for not being afraid to talk about what really happened. Your tone of voice conveys exasperation, while also understanding the weight behind each thing that takes place even on the darkest points of our timeline.

The best children's show ever and it was of African/Black culture. I was a stay-at-home mom of 3 back then. Now they're all grown. The show would get them soooo excited as babies and to talk about the show now they vaguely remember, but the theme song is forever remembered. Thanky Thanky 😊

Still waiting for a nick studios defunctland episode

This was exactly the time I went to Disneyland as a twelve year old! I remember this ride and the layout of Tomorrowland with great nostalgia and fondness.

Stable video 👍

Take a drink every time he says "Monsanto"

I remember this movie I watched it so much, the scene where all the skeletons came out of the castle scared the shit out of me.

Monsanto didn't create Agent Orange. They were just one of the companies contracted under the Defense Production Act.

mcarthur looks like walt from another timeline who lived to grow old and came back in time to help his self that wouldnt go on

They should bring this back with Ant-Man

I've been subscribed since you were at less than 100k and it's baffling how 1M hasn't happened yet.

if i was a child going through this, my entire conception of reality would be destroyed. also i love the critical perspective of disney in these videos.

SEASON 4 LETS GO

That was such a great narrative turn. Agent orange's effects are still felt in the southern part of Vietnam. Fantastic work!

It’s worth noting that the deciding vote in the US Supreme Court’s landmark decision to allow Monsanto (and consequently, other corporations as well) to _patent genetic sequences_ (!!!) was cast by… Justice Clarence Thomas, former chief counsel to Monsanto, who - despite the fact that any lower court would’ve _required_ any judge with such a clear conflict of interest to recuse themselves - simply refused to recuse himself from the case. Monsanto: as evil now as always!

1960s Disneyland on LSD would’ve, indeed, been a *_HEAD_*_ HEAD head_ head… *_TRIP_*_ TRIP trip_ trip…

Love this channel. Thanks Kevin.

2:00 is this a Far Cry 3 reference?

Busch Gardens has had many fine rides. Although it wasn't the fastest or tallest roller coaster, the Big Bad Wolf really was something special. The suspended aspect was unique for most theme park guests, especially during the first decade or more of it's run... the atmosphere and theming was world-class... and for me it was always my favorite of the park. My favorite memory of this roller coaster, and any other for that matter: after years of riding the Big Bad Wolf, I rode it once at night, and the operators decided to turn off ALL of the track and theme lighting. It was like riding a roller coaster blind-folded, but getting just the faintest glimpses of trees and scenery you thought for sure you were going to run into. Scary? Yeah... but fun as hell.

It’s so hard to watch these because... I’d watch them with the love of my life and i took it all for granted. And now she’s gone.

I got to ride it as a kid. I miss Disneyland of the late 80s

Fun fact: John Hench is my great uncle

When I was a kid t(e people mover broke down and repeated the same 1 minute segment of audio for almost an hour. For years afterwards we had that audio memorized

This is one ride I have always regretted being before my time.

Oh god not flight of the valkyries

Brilliant Full Metal Jacket homage.

Monsanto is trash. They might've been aight in the 50s but they're worse than EA now

I wanted to go on this too thank god I didn’t 😭

Let me guess. Blacks working for free.

Damn rowdy teens

"and the opposite of farming" 😂

The dinosaurs? We burnt to. Me: NOOOOOOO🥺😭💔

Paul Frees also voiced Boris in Rocky & Bullwinkle and the Burgermeister from the Rankin-Bass special Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.

Can't they just bring this back and say it's an Ant-Man attraction? LOL

The script for the ride is like... Poe read by Price. Amazing.

The chemical warfare was seriously evil even before the health issues came to life. It was an active effort to destroy a people's way of life and forever change the landscape of the world all in an effort to "win" and unwinnable war based entirely off the profits of war and jingoistic idealism. Even under the best circumstances you can give it was a humanitarian disaster in the making.

They could have revamped this ride in the 80s with Martin Short and Dennis Quaid

This one took way too long, Kev. Glad it’s up! I did manage to ride this while it was still up. It wowed me, and it did make me a little nervous.

I grew up riding this, and was a frequent Disneyland visitor (with several Walt Disney World trips since 1999). Usually I expect to learn nothing that I didn't already know when people post videos about the history of attractions, but I actually didn't know a lot of what you presented here. Well done! You're going to end up giving Martin's Vids a run for their money if you keep this up.

I *LOVED* Adventure Thru Inner Space. I still miss it to this day. Have to say I think now it was the last truly interesting ride I really enjoyed at Disneyland (I'm not old enough to remember Flight to the Moon (and then Flight to Mars). Really, all the rides at Disneyland was your typical roller coaster, interior and exterior. Even Star Tours, which took Inner Space's place, was the same. It became same old, same old. Actually, as I got older, I gradually lost interest in pretty much everything at Disneyland, preferring Knotts, mostly because you could enjoy Knotts without the rides. You can't really say that about Disneyland. The rides are the reason Disneyland exists. But I would come back in a minute if Disneyland would recreate Inner Space in some fashion.

This might not be the point of the video but as a non-American viewer, this shed some light for me as to why there are many conspiracies concerning Chemtrails in the US.

For the record; dee Bradley baker was a damn BEAST of voice acting. Some of his bet work being done in AtlA

Christ, I hate when beloved parks close down. I know how it feels, I lost my home park more than 25 years ago due to the owners wanting to expand, thereby losing the cozy, neighborhood charm that had been there for more than a century. Astroworld looked like a fun, classy park. Though I’ve never been there, I mourn with you who knew it. I can relate.

You always show up in my subscription box right when I'm craving some seriously in-depth knowledge about a theme park I've never been to. Great work as always :)

Starts: Fun overview of a memorable family ride End: How corporate facades has always been around and thier true legacy is utter disregard of people across the globe whose scars are felt today.

when i was 12 i heard about adventure thru inner space for the first time and was blown away. i had never thought about how a whole attraction could be completely gone-- not only in florida, not renovated-- gone. i was obsessed with finding out more about it, wanted to ride it myself, but could of course only find a couple old home movies. (these were the dark days, pre-defunctland). i'm grateful for the great video as always, but also for the satisfying conclusion to a 7th-grade interest.

Love the national lampoons inspired intro 🥰

So excited for season three!

"He had left them with 27,000 acres of swampland in Florida." Well when you put it like _that..._

Terror is a human experience. Disney was supposed to be about that. But I guess not.

I somehow hated clowns but yet loved this show when I was little

Guess that martini glass on the ride would have been shaken, not stirred.

. Somewhere in the middle of the video I was thinking....why isn't this the E.P.C.O.T. we eventually got. Then as the video entered the end phase I started saying, does anyone else watching this find the E.P.C.O.T. being planed to strangely remind them of Academy City (from Magical Index and Scientific Railgun fame), except with regular residents instead of simply students?

"That they created nothing to be afraid of!... before creating something they should be afraid of."

Imagineers failed us by denying us an Alien shoot-em-up ride. Fuck them. lol

“A once optimistic America was suddenly cynical.” Man, we keep ending up in that cycle.

The Circarama 360º film America The Beautiful would be replaced by the Circlevision 360º film America The Beautiful. The new film of the same name was shot with a new method: using nine cameras as opposed to the original eleven. 😂

should’ve known eisner would come back

RIP Ron. I grew up with your show and it helped me learn the social skills I would later need when I started elementary school a year later. You will not be forgotten.

all I ever wanted was to be a Toys "R" Us kid 😢

i had wanted to visit for years this was my DREAM and it was only like two hours away but i wasnt old enough to drive myself and no one ever took me ;-;

I thought Kako's red beanie and Uma's flower have been on them since the shorts.

"AND THE OPPOSITE OF FARMING" HOLY SHIT.

Oobi's 4? I thought he was more like 6 or 7.

Wow, I do not know nearly enough about Monsanto. What a monstrous entity.

So what became of the chemical company?
