Elle a été reproduite dans chacun des Royaumes Enchantés dans le land, Tomorrowland ou Discoveryland. Le but initial de l'attraction était d'attirer dans les parcs Disney les visiteurs appréciant les montagnes russes. L'attraction est un parcours de montagnes russes en intérieur, ce qui permet l'ajout d'effets d'obscurité et de lumières. Ainsi, certaines portions des rails sont invisibles, solution imaginée par Disney, qui permet d'augmenter l'effet de surprise pour les visiteurs et compense l'absence de certains autres éléments typiques des autres montagnes russes. Lors de son ouverture en 1975, le budget qui avait été alloué à l'attraction dépassait celui de Disneyland, inflation comprise. Le premier concept date des années 1960 et devait être intégré au projet SpacePort de Disneyland. En juin 1966, le nom de Space Mountain fut donné à l'attraction, quelques mois avant la mort de Walt Disney. Le projet SpacePort, conçu par John Hench, qui devait permettre l'ascension de la montagne par l'extérieur, ne réapparut qu'avec la version française en 1995. L'attraction a ouvert pour la première fois au Magic Kingdom de Walt Disney World Resort en 1974. Des versions simplifiées ont ouvert à Disneyland en 1977 et à Tokyo Disneyland en 1983. En 1995, une nouvelle version à ouvert au Parc Disneyland, nouveau concept pour s'intégrer à celui rétro-futuriste de Discoveryland. Dans les ann...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!A Bobsled roller coaster is the generic name given to any roller coaster that uses a track design that is essentially a "pipe" with the top half removed and has cars that are sent down this pipe in a freewheeling mode. The name derives from the great similarity to the track design used for the Bobsleigh winter sport. Most modern bobsled roller coasters are made of steel, however the first bobsled coasters, known as Flying Turns were made of wood. As of 2007, there are no Flying Turns coasters in operation, however Knoebels in Pennsylvania is planning on opening the world's first modern flying turns coaster, Flying Turns. The ride was scheduled to open in 2007, but has been delayed due to dysfunctional wheels. ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (or for short Big Thunder Mountain) is a relatively mild indoor/outdoor mine train roller coaster located in Frontierland at several Magic Kingdom-style Disney theme parks worldwide. The ride exists at Disneyland Park (Anaheim) and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and at Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Park (Paris) as Big Thunder Mountain. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is also the name of the fictional rail line the roller coaster depicts. Although the details of the backstory vary from park to park, all follow the same general story arcs. Some time in the late 1800s, gold was discovered on Big Thunder Mountain in the American southwest. Overnight, the small mining town of Rainbow Ridge (at Disneyland), Tumbleweed (at the Magic Kingdom), or Thunder Mesa (at Disneyland Paris) became a thriving mining town. Mining was prosperous, and an extensive line of mine trains was set up to transport the ore. Unknown to the settlers, the Mountain was a sacred spot to local Native Americans and was cursed. Before long, the settlers' desecration of the mountain caused a great tragedy, which, depending on the park, is usually depicted to be an earthquake (Disneyland Paris, Disneyland) or a flash flood (Magic Kingdom), which befell the mines and town, and the town was abandoned. Some time later, the locomotives were found to be racing around the mountain on their own, without engineers or a crew. The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was founded in the old mining camp to allow tourists to take rides on the possessed trains. Inspired by real-life Bryce Canyon, the Hoo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1313394 ... Read more

Knott's Berry Farm is the brand name of two separate entities: a theme park in Buena Park, California, and a manufacturer of food specialty products (primarily jams and preserves) based in Placentia, California.

Smucker Company.In the 1920s, Walter Knott and his family sold berries, berry plants and pies from a roadside stand beside State Route 39, near the small town of Buena Park. In the 1930s, Walter Knott was introduced to a new berry which had been cultivated by Rudolph Boysen. The plant was a combination of the red raspberry, blackberry, and loganberry. Walter planted a few plants he had received on a visit to Boysen's farm, and later started to sell them at their roadside stand. When people asked him what they were called he said "boysenberries". ... Read more

Excerpt: The Matterhorn Bobsleds or the Matterhorn is an attraction made up of two intertwining steel roller coasters at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It is modeled after the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Swiss Alps. It is the first tubular steel track roller coaster ever constructed and thus an ACE Coaster Landmark. Located on the borderline between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland (see below), it employs forced perspective to seem more impressively large. Throughout the day, Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse and Goofy, aided by two climbers dressed as Swiss mountain climbers, may be seen scaling the supposedly arduous peak. The mountain climbers themselves can often be seen scaling the peak. Walt Disney conceived the idea for the attraction when visiting Switzerland during filming of his film, Third Man on the Mountain. He was impressed by the beauty of the real ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1203925 ... Read more
