THE WEIRDEST Land At Any DISNEY PARK
hello everybody I'm Chris Provost and today on Provost park pass I'm going to talk to you about the weirdest land in all of Disney the weirdest land of all Disney yeah now let me set the rules though hit the like And subscribe before let's get that out of the way let me set the rules weird doesn't mean bad so if something's weird that doesn't mean bad it just means it's kind of outside the norm and there's a little land here and the land is not in Disneyland which is right behind me there it's over here in Disney California Adventure I want to show you what I think is the weirdest hi guys hi I want to show you what I think is the weirdest land of all so this little land is kind of weird but it's not a bad land and actually I like the land a lot it's just a little bit weird and it's not weird because it wants to be weird it's weird because of bad planning because the Disney imagineers who came up the idea of California Adventure didn't know what they're doing at the very beginning I'll get into all that let's start the video all right we're going to walk right here guys to go to Disney California Adventure and enjoy the day here I'll do a little chitchatting talking some Secrets R and just kind of Meandering around all right so here I am in Disney California Adventure before we get into this kind of crazy land I got to do a little bit of backstory of Disney California Adventure what happened it's got a crazy sorted history just nuts so so you know what maybe you should get a little bed or something sit down and chitchat and talk about this n I'm not going to do that let's just keep talking um what happened was Disney wanted to capitalize on having more people come to Disney rather than just for a day they wanted people to come to Disney and spend three or four days at Disney and so what they did is they came with the idea of having another theme park here uh right across the Disneyland and they thought well if we have two theme parks and people spending a lot of time here maybe a week going to back and forth to both theme parks I am going to look at some fruit hang on does anything look good seedless grapes hummus pineapple sphere some drinks nothing's nothing's popping out at me oh there's the pickles and there's the baby Bell cheese I do love those let's continue on so Disney wanted to have people come and spend like a week in the Disney parks Disneyland and they thought well we only have the one park that's Hi how are you I am feeling a little pecky so I'm kind of hungry but I don't know what I want so let's go down to maybe Flo's va8 Cafe I don't know we'll just keep walking talking anyways what happened was that uh the Disney imagineers they came up the idea like if we have two theme parks then we'll get we'll cure people coming for more Hi how are you so the imagineer is like hey if we have two parks then people come here a lot longer and then they started thinking and this is what it reminds me of have you ever been hanging out with your friends and you come up with a really funny joke and all you and your buddies and you think it's so funny but then when you go tell it to somebody else it's not this funny I think that's kind of what happened they came up with this idea they're like well why do people come to California they're like well they come they want to see all the sites they want to see like the Redwood Forest they want to see Hollywood they want to go up there to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Disney imagineer like you know what we should do is do we just give him everything they want to see California in one theme park then they won't have any desire to go to anywhere else they'll just stay at our theme parks and they all laughed chuckled and thought it was really funny like ha what a great idea we'll create a whole park around California and then that way nobody has to see anything other than California while they're in our park I'm not making this up all right so I think get some food like like a little pork belly um and some rice here at the favorite things Holiday Festival that was actually very good so they came with this idea M like hey we'll have people who want to go on vacation California they'll see all of California just like coming to Disney kind of an insane plan really but they loved it at first and I think a lot of other people like I don't know but the highs Lov the idea it didn't really work right so the idea was they had like uh the Golden Gate Bridge here they had the Redwood Forest they had uh Pacific Warf they had Hollywood land they had W Visa Street and these are all different areas you'd see of California here's the problem Disney California Adventure when it first opened up they had a sneak preview for annual passholders APS backed in and boy those annual passholders they were not kind they came through they went through the the the sneak preview and they said they said it was boring they said it was dull they said there's not a lot of attractions and they said they is mostly shopping that word him M spread real quickly and when they when the Disney Cali Adventure did open up it was kind of a it was not it was not success and they were like having a hard time with it well they realized we have to do something they've kind of gone through they've reemed a lot of Disney californ adventure the Pacific Pier it's come Paradise Pier and all these things but there's one land that has really struggled even though I think now Disney comfor adventure is much better now right they've infused a lot of money here they they they've re themed it got lots of cool things here but there is one land that still is just really odd so they poured a lot of money in a Disney California Adventure making it better kind of moving away from the Disney of the California theme right so now we've got like Pixar Pier whatever it's just kind of a weird little thing but the one area that they just don't really seem to know what to do with is Hollywood so Hollywood land that's where we're entering right now it's just kind of I like it it's a little bit weird it's a little bit odd I feel like sometimes dizzy doesn't know really what to do with it they're it's just it's an odd land it's just a little weird so I'm going to kind of th go through and show you some cool things here about it but at the same time just know that I think this is the one land that maybe can use a little bit of attention everybody's always like tomorrow land all right so the first thing you notice is this right here see this little this little platform there's another one right there well originally when I first opened up they had like these elephants on top of it and like for the big movies they got rid of those and they've never really done anything with that entrance they're just now just Plain on top nothing on top of it we're going to walk down here and we're going to see Hollywood land now this is Al this is supposed to represent Hollywood and so when people come here it's like you know the stars on the sidewalk and everything here and um it's just a little bit odd you do have palm trees which I really do like and uh of course you've gone you got your shopping over there gone Hollywood over there but it weird it's got a weird flow to it and people don't really know what to do a lot of times this is just a walkway to walk to Advengers campus but it has one of my favorite attractions uh Monsters Inc which I we got to go ride and that's really about it so you got the Monsters Inc over here you do have the Disney Junior dance party for like little kids to dance more shopping then we're walk over here you have Mickey's fiart Magic which is like a movie theater that used to a long time ago as the Muppets and then over here you've got the animation Academy or the animation station and um that's it then down there we have the Hyperion theater I got some really cool stuff to tell you about the Hyperion theater once we get there but yeah it's just a weird land right it's just it's it's the theming is weird it I don't think they know what to do with it so we're going to turn left this take us what they call Hollywood Studios and take us back to Monsters Inc and I mean literally Monsters Inc right it's a Pixar ride but it's here in Hollywood Studios they just dropped it here cuz they needed an attraction the original attraction here was called s Superstar Mo it was not well received people did not like it and so they ended up closing it down I think after it's only open for 11 months it sat vacant for 4 years before they Reed it that's how bad of Attraction it was they thought it'd be better to have it not even operating and running than have it then sit closed and have it running uh they ended up retheming it to uh Monsters Inc right here to Mike and so's to the rescue so Mike and so the rescue is right back there and then right across is kind of interesting like they got a big stage right there A lot of times like local little um high schools or uh whatever they'll come and perform there I remember one time Amanda and I were walking by and this this a there's a quartet and they were playing like a jazz quartet they were playing up there and they have like the band leader was leading them and nobody was in the audience listening to them I felt so bad for them Amanda and I were like we got to sit down and they were really good it's like this jazz quartet we found out they were from like uh St George Utah several years ago but yeah they have so it's just they have that there why not now it's going to Mike and SES 45 minute wait let's do it this amazing attraction actually a lot of cool hidden things on this attraction but um usually it was never more than 10 to 15 minute weight then they added oh my gosh then they added the uh what the genie plus pass and people here in Disney cfor adventure they're always looking for attractions they're like what what can we grab so what they do do they're trying to maximize the Gen plus and they're trying to find attaction they can't find anything what they end up grabbing usually last is Monsters Inc and they grab it cuz then they feel like they have some value but what does that do that makes the line for everything else for everybody else who doesn't have it super long so you can see the line passing here and the other thing is is that Disney came out with a show on Disney plus called monsters at work and when they came on monsters at work it was very popular and this also made the wait time a little bit longer cuz then people start coming in they're like oh my gosh they renewed interest in Monsters Inc so yeah let's go do Monsters Inc I'm kind of rambling there all right we're about to go in here been waiting but if you notice the light fixtures they're little claws that come down and hold the light bulbs up there because it's Monsters Inc okay so we're walking into the monstropolis transit authority MTA and there's lots of fun Little posters here little hidden things to be looking at I love you got to look around there's lots of little hidden McKey here you know right there in the headlights is a Mickey Mickey it's upside down this is the Behemoth car this is from if you bought the Monsters Inc DVD when it first came out had this little short called Mike's new ride it's called the Behemoth here's a little vendor a snack machine you got BL and uh calories and portal oo bag of calories salt sugar and fat this is a jeweler cooler and this was a big deal and the monsters at work they talked about jul coer alive are to be believed there has been a child security breach for the first time in Monster history we can neither confirm nor deny the presence of a human child here tonight I tried to run from it but it picked me up with its mind powers and shook me like a doll it's true I saw the whole thing Happy birthdayy Poo oh good there's Rand like a chicken my thoughts were not my own then it grabbed me with it fork and Ro so is one of my favorite characters of all time there's a kid here a humanid the octopus only has six tentacles here birthday I thought you cared about me come on this [Music] way happens hurry up hurry up you see his contact [Music] lens we're almost there so fast R they'll never get her home [Music] now you watch carefully there sometimes a little hit Mickey appears on Rand when she bunks him on the [Music] head [Music] is a h Mickey right [Music] here it's the Mickey right there I think in the first row are those your real ears we respond to is one of my favorite characters he got a little hat on that I love that attraction here's some really cool things about this attraction if you were the first person to ride the attraction for the very the beginning of the day you be lightting over here and their first one they'll give you what's called screamer of the day it's a ticket and it'll allow you to go in and ride the ride as many times you want without having to uh wait in line they they have you go right through the exit you have to be the first person to write it of the day and uh you'll be the screamer of the day uh it's really a fantastic attraction but I want you to think about it for a second here it is we're in it's Monsters Inc we're in Hollywood land and it's just popped down right here in the middle of Hollywood land very weird if you kind of started thinking about it does it really belong here not so much but it's really the only R attraction in all of Hollywood land that's is it this is the one ride attraction that they have let me show you the rest of Hollywood land cuz it's small all right so we got the little stage there where they have the people playing the stage and then we come right back over here and kind of have like it's kind of um Cocola the Hollywood Lounge right over here it's sponsored by it's called ice cold refreshment sponsored by Coca-Cola and you get to come right over here and order some drinks and they also have like a little food truck right here the Coca-Cola food truck and then um that's it and they also use that stage over right there right now they're using that for a band uh for the holidays but this is it this is the whole land really this is this is it Hollywood land now I'm going to go back and show you the Hyperion theater in just a second but I want to show you this one little other area here in Hollywood land this is Studio 17 it's interesting because they don't really I don't think they know what to do with it uh they had it open for a while it was The Avengers store but of course now they have the Avengers store in The Avengers campus so it's closed if sometimes they have it for meet and greets for Minnie and Mickey but right now they're not really using it for anything it's just sitting there it's a big huge giant empty Studio that's just sitting there right over here you've got some ears and I do want to show you this there's only two places you can buy these here the conductor ears you can buy them right here and you can also buy them like at elas and co uh area and that's the only place you can get those that conductor hat it's for the red trolley though it says red trolley on it it's not for the train but it's still pretty cool and then right here they have a little what is that I don't know a little shop to buy some knickknacks this is the exit to Mickey's F heart magic I showed this what I'm going to show you next I showed multiple videos cuz it's one of my favorite little things but I still it's worth repeating that's one of my favorite little secrets now this used to be for the Muppets right The Muppets 3D adventure and so they still have some remnants of the Muppets up here and they just paint over it see like the glasses right there little chain and then if you move over here you can kind of see they have like a little nose and glasses on top of the nose craziness for the Muppets all right so now we're walking out that's like I don't understand Hollywood SE I don't dislike it it's just it's odd it's just a weird little weird little land they do have shoozies right over here I do love shoozies it's got like shakes and cool things like that little milkshakes Amanda loves it and I'm going to walk down here to the Hyperion theater and this is where and this is what it's kind of crazy to me okay so Aladdin was there Aladdin was amazing then they got rid of Aladdin then they brought it frozen frozen was good I mean I like Frozen lot and then they don't they're not using it see that whole that that Sky that's a huge giant building it's a giant building it's a huge theater for these Productions now I'm going to let you in a little secret Disney is a huge corporation and when you're in a large corporation like that you have multiple budgets each department has their own budget so when the hyperian theater when uh Rogers the musical came out that was not paid for by Disney do you know what paid for that Disney plus Disney plus paid for that to have Rogers musical now when it ran out the when the when their budget says we're going to do this many shows for Disney Plus at that point Disney could have had the option to say we want to extend it um if they wanted to extend the state of uh Rogers musical they chose not to extend it for what I don't know why but that was under the Disney plus budget Hyperion theater bring back Aladdin Aladdin's the greatest of all so there's the Hyperion theater right there and I'm going to show you how big this is it's massive we don't even realize how big this is this place is a huge massive footprint and it's kind of just sitting empty right now here in Hollywood Studios so this here this is the staging area let me show you this is the staging area when they use it for the shows this is the whole area where they line up you see got the mezanine the B getting the orchestra those poles where they get lined up they go up these stairs in this giant building here you see the building kind of painted on facade right there right there they go up there and this is a huge massive building that they could be using for something like the Aladdin show bring Aladdin back Disney it was just too good Disney it's too good don't why did you get rid of it so bring it back but yeah this a little facade little faad showing you in front of it that's how big look how far back the building goes it's just seems like a big building that should using for something I have to be clear when I said that this is the weirdest land of all Disney it is kind of weird cuz I it's like this mix Mash of everything it's like I don't think they know what to do with it it was originally a whole Hollywood idea but then they got kind of who knows what they're doing with it weird doesn't mean bad though just makes that very clear somebody ever calls you weird that doesn't mean you're bad it means you're unique you're awesome speaking that I just want to take a quick little moment to talk about you and I am talking to you I want you to know that you you are amazing did you know that you absolutely 100% make the world a better place

Hyperion theater I love it this is like this Forest perspective where you see it kind of goes down and uh they have right now they have Santa and his reindeer I love it just it's really cool I don't know what they're doing here okay so you see coming back over here this is Sunset Boulevard technically what we're in Sunset Boulevard and this is Hollywood Boulevard you got the little lamp post over there then they also like right over here in Hollywood land they have this meet and greet periodically with Spider-Man and it's just like they're I think they're trying to figure out what to do with
