97. Big Thunder Mountain History - Part 14 - Hidden History in Walt Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain
What story is the mining equipment telling us on Big Thunder Mountain?On this episode of Distory, we complete our ride through of Walt Disney World’s Big Thunder Mountain, pausing to notice all the details and history along the way. We begin by discussing what Kirk calls the “Ram Trick” (and Kate insists is not a thing) before discovering an abandoned mine, a dangerous saw, and a few somewhat lackluster special effects (including why they are lackluster). As we hold on tight during this wild ride of an episode, we collect some facts about rocker boxes, miner’s moss, and how weather affects geothermal activity, before slowing down to spy the roundhouse and a blacksmith area that almost everyone misses. Kirk sings a little karaoke, Kate is too gullible when it comes to his jokes, and we share some thoughts about Marc Davis’s legacy and our own pursuit of what matters.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.comView full video versions of each episode at Disney Cicerone's YouTube channel HERE OR on the Spotify version of our podcast.Distory T-shirts and StickersKate's books on AmazonWalrusCarp T-shirts & Merch
