Really proud of this one! Check it out: www.imaginerding.com/2025/10/06/m...

Frederic Thompson built Mountain Torrent in 1906 — riders climbed an 80-ft mountain, raced through waterfalls, and splashed into a glacial lake. Coney Island was doing “immersive storytelling” long before Disney. www.imaginerding.com/2025/10/06/m...

Before #SplashMountain, there was Mountain Torrent. Built in 1906 at Luna Park, it mixed roller coaster thrills with a raging water flume — decades before #Disney ever dreamed of Br’er Rabbit. www.imaginerding.com/2025/10/06/m...

If only!

In 1906, Luna Park’s Mountain Torrent mixed roller coaster thrills with a water ride twist. Guests climbed an 80-foot mountain covered in waterfalls, raced through rushing flumes, and splashed down into a glacial lake. Early theme park engineering at its boldest!

In 1904, Luna Park unveiled 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Long before Disneyland’s submarines, riders stepped into a full-sized sub and embarked on a mechanical undersea voyage toward the North Pole.

One of my favorite collectibles is this reproduction of the #DisneyWorld concept map that hung in the Contemporary and Polynesian resort rooms until the late 1970s. It is massive. It’s 5.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet tall.

Agreed. It was a spectacular sight. Although it did ruin a lot of wedding photos, I would imagine.

This is the dream! #libraries #librarians

"What are we? Big damn heroes!”

In 1969, Disney previewed a bold new dream: Walt Disney World. Concept art, promises, and visions of a future Florida vacation kingdom. Some came true—others didn’t. Take a look back: www.imaginerding.com/2025/09/29/d...

Whenever I look at this I wonder why why the monorail (sky based) would be below the sidewheeler (water based) and I’m sure there’s a really good reason! Haha 🤓
