Is the Oxygen-Free Parkeology Challenge Impossible?

They call it the death zone. 8000 meters above sea level, the atmosphere is so thin, science once considered it fatal. Humans can’t survive at that altitude for more than a few minutes before their brains turn to mush. To summit the tallest mountains in the world, elite climbers must carry supplemental oxygen to make […]

Jessie’s Critter Carousel Now Part of Parkeology Challenge

Disney never gave an official opening date for Jessie’s Critter Carousel at Disney California Adventure. The website just says April 2019. But since the ride has been in soft opening for several days now, we’re gonna go ahead and call it. Jessie’s Critter Carousel is now considered an official ride for the Disneyland Resort version […]

Is the Haunted Mansion Wolf Howl Silenced Forever?

You only need to hear the Haunted Mansion wolf howl once and you’ll never forget it. Its long, mournful wail is as iconic as Disney park sound effects get — as memorable as the whistle of the steam train, the blast from the Riverboat, the ridiculous honk of the monorail. It’s really more of a […]

However, when the ride changed to […]

After a few tense minutes, he finds the entree he is looking for. Turkey FastPass is secured. He rounds it off with a Stuffing FastPass, then picks up […]

Abandoned Fantasia Gardens Pavilion Might Be Master Architect’s Lost Work

Most guests don’t even know about Fantasia Gardens mini-golf. It’s a secondary excursion at best — the kind of freebie they used to dole out on your all-inclusive package, right up there with “free admission” to Wide World of Sports or a crappy t-shirt from Planet Hollywood. Even Disney Transportation forgets about it. A self-assured Cast […]
