This video having under 20 likes is an insult. It’s well edited, makes good and clear points. Big pat on the back. You are deserving of over 1000 times that amount. Keep at it, your videos are wonderful!
Thom is and was such a gear nerd, so i believe this was how they played live, both of them always worked with live loops, drummachines/sequencers and that's what they did in the alive 1997, the main difference is you can pack all that analog gear in a pair of midi controllers with Ableton, nice work dude, also there's four hands to do stuff around. And if you have a very good ear you can tell that all the alive 2007 is just loops getting retriggered and rearranged and the variations being made with effects Those discrediting them don't know nothing, neither music production and how midi works, all the midi stuff is fully programable, custon and sometimes diy; they were the pioneers of what artists do nowadays (look at the new Justice Live Set, full live set with custom controllers and all that "sync" to the visuals), they just were the first ones to do it (:
The bamboo pole is an interesting mechanic that is used to sell an illusion that spikes would crush you from above. However, Disney imagineering is needing to work on this pole quite often. It’s only just very long maintenance that is needed by Disney Imagineering. Despite the effect being 30 years old now.. They are currently working on getting a new pole, and fixing the entire spike room itself. Notice when you go into the spike room nowadays, the maintenance lights are on. Meaning work is being done not from the inside, but from above. Btw, I believe you forgot that the Soundtrack itself has been broken for over a decade… 😂
@@rct3isepic Disney’s Imagineering has a confusing work schedule for this attraction 😂.. some are broken for your experience, next thing you know, the next day it’s operating perfectly, (such as the annoying infamous Boulder Chamber…) and some (like the spike room and the snake once upon a time) are broken for over an entire year. However, without that being said, we’ll done of the video 👏 It’s great to see other people not just myself, that love this attraction with all there heart. (P.S. I also agree on what you said for rise of the resistance.. waaaaaaaaaaay too many screens… While Indy when it first opened was built with massive detail and hard work construction. Don’t get me wrong, rise is still great, it just has way too many screens/projections, to the point where people can tell straight from the get-go, “oh yeah, that’s a screen.”)
I’m very thankful that I got to ride this before it closed. I thought the ride was great and hated the fact that they got rid of it. Despite the negative reception, I didn’t mind the Stich ride that replaced it. It wasn’t as good as Alien Encounter, but I still enjoyed it. I honestly think the biggest mistake was putting it in the Magic Kingdom and not EPCOT.
Personally, I stand by that it's biggest mistake was not being based on the movie Alien. I know the senior imagineers wouldn't let it be, but had it been based on Ridley Scott's Alien and somewhere in Hollywood Studios I think it would still be there. Just because it would be among other scary thrill rides like Tower of Terror, it would've had built in parental controls thanks to it's IP tie-in, and so far nothing odd or problematic has come about any of the recognizable figures in the movie.
Wings over Washington is so much better than Soarin'. Soarin' has that lame pre-show video, no animatronics, no atmosphere or theming. C'mon Disney, you can do better than that! We ride Wings every time we go to Seattle.
I live in Seattle and I may have to go check this out along with that one bar on the water front that has happy hour 2-5 pm on weekdays. Which you can get drafts for 5 bucks.
Earlier this year, I rode Soarin' again for the first time after this video turned me on to Wings Over Washington, and oh my gosh, Wings is SO MUCH BETTER!
Oh no, we lost a theater show that tormented arachnophobics, a spinny thing, the bumper cars that were too slow to bump, and they moved the other spinny thing else. I'm so sad

You should've hit up Mark Silverman for it. He would've given this the works in his Rod Serling voice. He says the only requirement to get him to do it is to provide pizza.
Yeah, but this is part of a larger review of every version of Tower of Terror that I did. So me being Rod Serling makes more sense with the rest of the episode
Nice list & video man :) The visual transition from X2 to Helix was particularly well done. God, I can sense the scents from Soarin' OC just from hearing the music.
Great list! One of my favorites that’s often overlooked is the onride music from The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure. Both versions are fantastic. Original version is pure unadulterated punk rock, the current one is more of a Rock EDM hybrid.
There are two rides that you should've put in (at least) as honorable mentions: 1. Journey to the Center of the Earth at Tokyo DisneySea. Seriously, Buddy Baker's original score for the ride helps set the tone of what was supposed to be a normal journey from Captain Nemo's Vulcania base to the center of the earth, but as the ride progresses, the music takes more ominous tones as you are forced off course and toward Vulcania's magma chamber, where the music then ominously fades out and you come face-to-face with the magma chamber's monster, who chases you up and out of the side of the volcano. 2. Storm Rider at Tokyo DisneySea. Mark Mancina's score for this enhanced motion simulator has bits of rock music at the beginning, and as you enter the storm heading for Port Discovery, the music takes a rather ominous tone, and becomes more chaotic as the mission to stop the storm goes horribly wrong.
