65. History of the Rocket Rods

What did this failed attraction give us in the Disney parks? And what was it going to be before it became Rocket Rods?In this episode of Distory, we rev up (and then suddenly slow down, again... and again...) as we navigate the ride that replaced a beloved Tomorrowland classic in Disneyland. To understand its checkered past, we dig deep into the history of the Rocket Rods, learning its former names, concepts, and even some Sherman Brothers music that was borrowed (mangled?) along the way. As we ride the road to tomorrow, Kate also tries not to debate Eisner again with Kirk... not completely successfully.Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!Kate’s YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@disneycicerone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can also find us on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and at disneycicerone.com & walruscarp.comSee more Distory with Kate & Kirk episodes here (earlier episodes available at @WalrusCarp  )Kate's books on Amazon⁠WalrusCarp T-shirts & Merch⁠Resources we reference in this episode:Rocket Rods Theme Song
