This Hidden River Is Disneyland’s Quiet Magic | Lowdown on the Plus-Up
An hidden feature from 1955 might be the most impressive feat of engineering at Disneyland.
Pete and Kelly spend an episode discussing the quiet magic of Disneyland’s dark water system.
They break down the design brilliance of this river that has lasted, with very little alteration, for seventy years. They discuss what it does, how it works, and why they find their attention constantly drawn to the sights and attractions along its path.
They also shatter a few myths along the way.
Re-engage your attention at often chaotic Disneyland by focusing on the water flow that ties it all together.
Pete and Kelly will show you how, step-by-step.
