Camping sucks. You may catch poison ivy, be ravaged by malaria-riddled mosquitoes, or get mauled by a rabid squirrel all the while avoiding molestation by marauding hill-folk. Michael Eisner even wrote a book called “Camp” and you know that can’t be good. Where is the fun in eating canned meat and sleeping on the ground in […]
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Yeti Kitty
The sharp folks in the Disney Merchandise department have recently revealed a hidden storyline in Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain: Curse of the Black Pearl: The Ride: Part I. Original Everest concept art, in rug form. Unfortunately due to budget cuts, Imagineers are no longer permitted to weave concept art. After scouring a […]
Sea Serpent’s Revenge
We interrupt our normal postings to deal with an ongoing issue here at the Parkeology offices. We have already apologized profusely, but it seems there is just no pleasing some groups. Some of our newer readers may not be familiar with this feud, so first a bit of history. Back in January, we endeavored to […]
Several Uses for Baby Elephants
What is it with Animal Kingdom and baby elephants? I understand it’s a zoo, but AK has a non-stop infatuation with moving baby elephants around the park like chess pieces. It seems like one way or another, they’re always repositioning pachyderms. Or getting rid of them entirely. From Day One — actually before Day One […]
Animal Kingdom’s Lost Water Temple
For some time now, daring Parkeologists have been hard at work tracking down a fabled treasure — the Lost Water Temple of Animal Kingdom. One periodically heard rumors of it. Obscure references turned up in ancient Incan tablets, or in a manuscript fragment discovered in some European abbey, or in one of those original stapled […]
Even more lost (perhaps for good?) in Animal Kingdom
Usually we tend to be a little smarmy around here at the Parkeology offices. We lace our posts with humor, sarcasm and even (though often unintentionally) some wit. You know, we’re cool like that. On occasion we might become obsessed with something as we recently saw with Franco-American week month (stay tune for Shane’s upcoming […]
More Space At Everest
It’s already the tallest mountain on the planet, why shouldn’t it get even more real estate? I’m speaking, of course, of Mt. France, as French Heritage Week continues its unprecedented run here on parkeology. Mt. France, as everyone knows, is … ah, forget it. I’m taking a break from France posts. But don’t worry, I […]
Run Tiger Run!
Well you cannot turn on the news today without talk of Tiger this or Tiger that and we here at Parkeology.com are not immune to the salacious speculation of what exactly went wrong with Tiger. Me strong, you pretty… Of course our Tiger is not THE Tiger… our Tiger is what […]
Where great rides go to die PART 2.
In our last installment we took a look at the bizarre journey parts of the Horizon’s show scenes took as they traveled from Orlando to Paris only to become in essence garbage. I had mentioned that in the video we could see another piece of Disney history rotting away in the “bone-yard” of Disney Studios […]
