The Failed Disney Park: Disney's America

[archersangel]

Remember that time Disney tried to create an "America" theme park in Virginia only for the whole thing to be mired in controversy and implode? @DrewTailored offers the definitive inside story of the never-made Disney's America: https://t.co/EyIgRea8bK

Ooh I loved Defunctland’s video on this. I’m obsessed with never-made/ abandoned Disney theme projects.

Literally came in here to say that. I love Defunctland.

Defunctland is the best! It's been amazing watching his channel grow.

And his voice change from 90s terrorist in a JVD film to that of a regular guy!

I went through a phase where I'd watch a ton of Defunctland and Yesterworld (I think thats what its called). Pretty sure they have a video on this.

Considering how sanitized some people prefer American history they dodged a bigger bullet.

[lostintheechoes]

i thought this was a good concept, too bad Disney never went through with it entirely.

We always stay at Pop Century when we go to Disney. I remember going a year and a half after 9/11 and seeing the abandoned building across the lake from our room. I would’ve LOVED the legendary years concept!

Funny enough, my first thought after seeing this video was that if the abandoned hotels from the legendary years were still around they'd be perfect for The Last of Us cosplay shootings lol

[veracity]

What's crazy is how Disney pretends it's not insanely rich. I mean, they put so much money into buying media when really, the parks need more value places. I never stayed because in past 25 years, I only stayed at River resort. I wanted to stay at the value ones, though. Seemed like a better plan.

Defunctland’s Ken Burns-style video on this is great, especially the voice cameos from all the other theme park YouTubers and the Podcast: The Ride boys. Highly recommend all his videos

[spellgabbana]

literally came in to make sure this video was in the comments! i love defunctland.

[waffletaco]

I love his vids channel.

And Podcast: The Ride is great!

I LOVE the Podcast: The Ride guys, I listen to them all the time now during work! It's really helped me feel less homesick for Disneyland while I'm trapped across the country indefinitely. I even signed up for their Patreon a couple months ago because I was burning through all their regular episodes so fast lmao, they're great
