Welcome to Parallel Disney! We are a RU-vid channel dedicated to comparing and contrasting the various Disney theme parks around the world. From Disneyland to Disney World, from Tokyo Disney to Hong Kong Disneyland, we'll take you on a journey to explore the similarities and differences between these magical places. We'll compare the attractions, the shows, the parades, the food, and everything in between. Whether you're a Disney fan planning your next vacation or just curious about how the different Disney parks compare, we've got you covered. So come join us as we take a trip down the parallel roads of Disney and discover the world of Disney in a new light!
In the future of making this comment is that Hong Kong was did used to ride name as space mountain, but has since changed the name to Hyperspace Mountain with new design for the interior for a new Star Wars themed attraction instead
I totally can. Keep bugging me about it, and I'll get to it. I'm looking at doing frozen ever after next, and then tiana when it opens in disneyland. Might try it after that.
Awesome comparison! As just like extra notes for people looking for comparisons, the Hollywood version of the ride takes the scarab effect a step further by blowing air on the back of your legs, while the Orlando version does not (no idea on the Singapore version, haven't been out there yet.) Scared the shit out of me though when I went on it since I'm an Orlando local and ours doesn't have the same effect. I will say though since Universal does a lot more copy/paste then Disney does, it really did surprise me to see how different the two rides were. My friends and I almost missed out on the Hollywood coaster when we went out there just because we were like "we have it here, we don't need to go on it again" and only went on it to kill time and because we love the Mummy here. It really caught us off guard and I'm glad to see there's enough unique on the Singapore attraction to make it worth riding too. (Even if (biased) ours is the best.)
I thought that was the case. I was in Hollywood earlier this year, and I didn't notice it. Thought it may have been a false memory or the effect was no longer used. Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate the comment.
i believe the evil queen in snow white & the seven dwarfs is named queen grimhilde; i have a big book that has a collection of disney comics and in the snow white one (called seven dwarfs and the captive fairy's quest), the queen is named by yellow squares in the top left corner near the beginning of the comic. the comic is really fun and full of action since all the dwarfs except for dopey meet some sort of fate: grumpy gets turned into a scarecrow, doc gets turned to stone, sleepy gets tethered to the ground by a wire, sneezy falls into a river after a sneeze shakes a bridge, bashful gets burned alive by a dragon and happy becomes a statue with water pouring out his eyes. dopey also shows great courage when he has to bring back the other dwarves
when ordinary adventures did a vlog in hong kong disneyland, they said that the park's space mountain has been permanetly changed into hyperspace mountain (you can even see an x-wing somewhere near the ride)
Singapore's looks soooo much better than I was expecting. I've always liked those mummy arms reaching down from the ceiling, but there's a lot in that ride I'd like to see in Orlando. 👀 Great breakdown!
Originally the ending of Hollywood's used a projection dome and showed the eclipse defeating Imhotep, when I asked John Murdy (lead designer of the attraction) on twitter about it, all he said was that it was a long story that he couldn't tell online. now the room just gets filled with fog and you turn around before seeing him in the eclipse yelling "NOOOOOO!!!" and then a strobe light hits you and the main theme plays as you unload
I actually have a HUGE soft spot for the Hollywood attraction. Being a California native, it's the one I've been on the most. It's basically the Orlando ride in a nutshell due to the smaller soundstage (curse is real, Imhotep attacks you, coaster section, backwards, etc.). While Orlando has the better ride, Hollywood did the best with what they had, and succeeded!
I really enjoy the Hollywood one and I'm glad they are so different. Since I don't get to do it as often I think I slightly prefer it over the orlando one. Thanks for leaving a comment
I think it is objectively the best, but something about Hollywood wins me over. The dropping mummies and the eclipse imagery, I think. Oh, and the mummy arms at the start. Thanks for the comment!
Singapore takes place in a temple, and is the movie. Orlando takes place in a museum/film set, and is the filming of the movie. Hollywood takes place in an obvious soundstage, but is what would happen if you were really in that experience. That's so circular non-circular design right there.
Corrections: The man in the corridor of doors is holding the other end of a noose around his neck in both versions. The clock at Disney World spins in the same direction at disneyland but faster. The little figure is not wearing a wedding but is wearing a white cloak.
If WDWs didn’t have such terrible maintenance, I feel like it would have been the best of the three. I just feel like they nailed it the best in terms of layout and scene progression.
Excellent video and I don't blame you for missing some details here and there. The only major detail you didn't stress enough was the soundtrack differences. The Disneyland version uses a more traditional musical approach while WDW and Tokyo both use the same songs but in a bluegrass style that, in my opinion, suit the attraction better.
Paris‘s Space Mountain is honestly kinda sad because it used to be so much better with the Jules Verne theming. I have hope that they return the theming next year
i think that even though alpha is longer, it looks like omega could potentially be a little faster based on the video unless it has more turns or drops
They literally show that it's a cone, with a motorized disk on top, at a titled angle. Disney had shown this. Why are you spreading this incorrect guesswork?
Incorrect but this is about how I made my version of it Work gears aren’t viable for hexagon and I think belts are better but I used regular gears Posted it in my page
