Sometimes you wander into parts of the youtube ecosystem and just marvel that there are enough people out there with a similar interest to create a little community around it. You know all those people who record video of their vacations and you wonder when the hell they’re ever ever going to look at it again? Well, it turns out there are creators who will use archives of that to meticulously reconstruct the history of amusement park rides out of old camcorder footage. I’m just really entertained that this even exists, and as a side effect I now know a hell of a lot more about the history of the Disney parks than anyone who is not really a fan of them has any right to know.

If you thought EPCOT was just a fun place with an Elsa ride and street performers, boy howdie do you not know the utopian/authoritarian template Walt Disney had in mind.
