2:05
through the checkpoints walk right down
2:07
Hollywood Boulevard which is a
2:09
representation of old Hollywood it's
2:11
their interpretation based on a lot of
2:14
real La structures so you kind of go
2:17
down that and as you're going to the
2:18
Chinese Theater off to the left
2:20
is basically this is in La this is the
2:23
sculpture here is in front of the
2:24
SmokeHouse restaurant

Michael Eisner quote

from 1989. so from 1989 you can see this
2:37
quote is still here and look it still

New York House New York Street
2:48
s of America and then walk in to Batu
2:51
construction update oh my gosh we are
2:55
now back
2:57
too
2:58
roll the mic is here
3:00
dude I think it's a new Shiro stand I
3:04
think I think that I think they just got
3:05
it's like a precaution there those are
3:07
stances stanches so we are going to walk
3:10
around and explain so let's go over here
3:12
in the corner and wait for everyone okay
3:13
we've been planning on doing this for a
3:15
while years ago we covered a lot of MGM
3:18
stuff but it's been a while it's been a
3:19
few years yes we touched on the subject
3:21
of him was when it closed and I think
3:25
you and I did our video like right after
3:26
it closed we're talking about streets of
3:28
America residential street yep so check
3:31
out world of Micah's Channel he's going
3:34
to be covering a few things that I'm not
3:35
going to touch on today what I want to
3:37
talk about is residential street and
3:39
anything that we can stand in the spot
3:41
here in Batu that's kind of what I want
3:44
to go with but yeah
3:47
no spoilers yeah check out Micah's
3:49
channel so I have I've figured out I
3:52
went on satellite view Google Earth you
3:54
know old historical Aerials that I
3:57
figured out within a few feet where each
3:59
thing that we know and love is that's
4:02
basically what we're gonna that's
4:03
basically what we're gonna do I have a
4:05
lot of photos on my phone you have a lot
4:06
of photos on your phone well combine
4:08
efforts into these forces and see no pun
4:12
intended because we're in Star Wars yeah
4:13
yeah
4:14
now before I get too far ahead of things
4:16
I want to show this picture from 1996 my
4:19
grandmother and myself were on the
4:21
second half of streets of America so
4:23
this right over here where it has the
4:24
Chevron sign is Grand dab where that
4:27
starts to see the city skyline off of
4:28
the distance which is now gone the
4:30
lead's kind of over near the Ewok
4:32
village over to the right over there
4:34
so this is basically in the area
4:38
kind of over where the entrance to rise
4:40
is so streets kind of went at an angle
4:42
that way
4:43
and then there is the main tunnel
4:45
leading in and out from this angle by
4:47
Rise of resistance into Machu now where
4:50
we're standing exactly at this moment
4:51
we've been looking right at the Honey I
4:53
Shrunk the Kids
4:55
area right here so basically on the
4:58
foliage that is right down there it's
5:01
kind of where we're standing so if you
5:04
just kind of go through
5:06
let me show this so this is satellite
5:08
view now and I just show what it looked
5:11
like then so that photo with my
5:13
grandmother and myself is just a little
5:15
bit over here to the far right of the
5:18
angle but that is the that is the
5:20
walkway in that's the tunnel in and then
5:22
you go up here Muppets is off to the
5:24
side
5:25
but that's what it looked like then
5:27
spent some time in there so the interest
5:29
here in the middle was the interest of
5:31
the Honey I shrunk which would have been
5:33
because you can't really get over in
5:35
there it's a queue
5:36
it's the external cue over there at rise
5:40
so it kind of shifts that wise the
5:42
streets would have gone that direction
5:45
yep so the interesting thing if you look
5:47
at satellite views there is a lot of
5:49
foliage and Greenery between this and
5:51
going over to Slinky Dog and all that
5:53
there's a lot of foliage almost almost
5:56
kind of was how the Honey I shrunk area
5:58
was it was they were climbing through
6:00
foliage but right over in there is where
6:02
it would have been well kind of more
6:03
kind of more like that
6:06
so right there
6:08
this picture younger my younger self
6:10
climbing around rooting around in the in
6:12
the foliage there was a movie called
6:14
Splash I'm going to get to the sequel of
6:16
Splash but there was a fountain that was
6:19
located basically behind the caddy
6:21
corner to the honeyhouse shrunk area I
6:23
don't know whatever happened to this
6:25
Fountain but I could show exactly where
6:28
the fountain used to be hopefully it's
6:30
in the archive somewhere but I don't
6:31
know if it is remember the splash
6:33
Fountain oh yeah we're going to talk
6:35
about Splash 2 yeah random something we
6:38
just discovered like two weeks ago yeah
6:40
legit there was a sequel yep and they
6:43
filmed so much here like before the park
6:46
opened yeah and um which is kind of cool
6:49
I bet they were like look we got to get
6:50
a film out we got to use this property
6:51
we're doing these taxes things and so
6:54
they probably were like black not slash
6:55
two not number two t-o-o the Disney
6:59
Channel movie yep but right here past
7:02
the Coca-Cola Droid right over there was
7:05
where the spa
7:07
all right if you look closely that was
7:09
the splash Fountain there so just kind
7:11
of pass by where the like the little uh
7:13
Honey I shrunk area was but this is what
7:16
it looks like now so there is a building
7:17
behind this spaceship and it's right
7:20
where that building is so if you just
7:21
went over the wall of that spaceship
7:23
it's flat you know what it might still
7:24
be in that building I mean you never
7:26
know the screen used prop could still be
7:29
over the top of that there's a small
7:31
building behind this spaceship
7:35
if it wasn't if it wasn't put in a
7:37
museum it wasn't put in the archives
7:39
could it still be back there
7:45
over here at resistance Supply were you
7:45
guessing that too yeah I showed this I
7:47
was showing the skyline and you just go
7:49
back Archway so basically this was the
7:53
center point you take the tram tour
7:54
you'd see this in fact they would even
7:55
the guide would even say take a look at
7:58
that Skyline off in the distance but
8:00
that argument is in this exact spot so
8:03
next time you're looking at these
8:04
helmets right here this is where this is
8:07
it'd be neat if there was like a little
8:09
nod to an arch so it's right here and
8:11
behind where the exit is to rise of the
8:13
resistance so if you're looking like
8:15
this
8:16
and then you turn that direction right
8:19
over there would be the archway view
8:22
looking down streets of America all
8:25
right for posterity here Micah you got
8:27
the photo we're standing a little closer
8:30
to the camera here we are right here
8:32
standing in the same spot
8:35
as this that's good that's like a
8:37
thumbnail anyway we got a lot more to
8:40
see we do
8:42
all right that's pretty awesome and who
8:43
could forget the singing in the rain
8:46
umbrella you would stand underneath it
8:47
you can get a photo op and it would rain
8:49
around you you wouldn't get wet but the
8:52
rain would precipitate off the side of
8:54
the umbrella so if you've been on Rise
8:55
of the resistance that is right where
8:57
bb-8 is sitting in Poe's X-Wing so just
9:00
next time you walk out you go in the
9:01
transport vehicle look over to the right
9:03
see bb-8 and go you're singing in the
9:05
rain looking at Old satellite images so
9:07
I took this pencil when I was at home
9:08
doing a little Recon on this so look at
9:10
the Eraser right there the Eraser is on
9:12
the singing in the rain umbrella also
9:15
fun fact this corner here was where
9:18
Bette Midler In the lottery she filmed
9:20
the scene from the lottery right there
9:22
where she was like up on the little
9:23
scaffolding so that was just off to the
9:25
side but if you look at here that same
9:27
exact area that is Poe's X-Wing there
9:30
and that is bb-8 right there yeah I mean
9:35
that eraser is trying to trying to erase
9:38
the spaceship and wants to bring Singing
9:40
in the Rain back but that's the spot
9:41
next you exit it look over at Bibi and
9:44
go wow
9:45
you're sticking on the right now Mike I
9:46
had the wherewithal back before they
9:48
bowled all those to go take a bunch of
9:50
personal photos that he has all these so
9:52
if you just off to the side so we're
9:54
kind of standing now so that would have
9:55
been right up here and that was a
9:57
pre-show that they would show before the
9:58
back lot tour to explain how movies were
10:00
made so you got the umbrella which was
10:03
over there how do you say umbrella I
10:05
always say umbrella umbrella yeah I say
10:07
umbrella I think it's the Mississippi
10:08
enemy yeah
10:10
umbrella so sticking to the rain over
10:12
here then you would continue on based on
10:14
your photo right here was the little
10:17
area so kind of like right here where
10:18
this was is where bet was like dangling
10:21
from the rooftop and then she would have
10:23
got in the shop remember she was in the
10:24
shopping cart going that way and there
10:26
was all the extras jumping out the side
10:28
that was all right here they need to put
10:31
that on Disneyland it needs to be on
10:33
Disney Plus
10:40
yeah I mean it's kind of weird you can
10:40
kind of vaguely point out these spots
10:42
it's a top it's a stretch it is but it
10:44
kind of gets your bearings I'm waiting
10:46
for bet to come crawling out of the
10:47
foliage here hello I'd be like winning
10:51
the lottery
10:52
if you're in this spot and then you
10:55
shift over
10:56
to this little walkway right about here
10:59
give or take a few feet is where they
11:01
have the stage show for Teenage Mutant
11:03
Ninja Turtles right and a bunch of other
11:05
shows but that the turtles was like the
11:06
big one kind of here I think the parks
11:09
need to bring back some turtle power
11:12
right
11:13
are there any Mutant Ninja Turtles
11:15
anywhere on Disney property anymore
11:16
they're all gone right nothing nothing
11:19
exists it's all Nickelodeon Paramount
11:22
now and there's a rumor that the new
11:24
Nickelodeon resort that's coming to
11:25
Orlando yeah you just did a video on
11:27
that they said that they're going to
11:27
have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles area
11:29
bringing them back them SpongeBob and
11:31
someone else I can't remember but I mean
11:33
turtles I was like I haven't had my
11:35
birthday there I want to see Donatello
11:37
walking through the police Holden hands
11:39
with Bette Midler yeah well bet would be
11:41
over there yeah hey Turtles Raphael
11:45
right through right in here
11:46
it is amazing when you look at satellite
11:48
view how much how many trees and bushes
11:52
there are going from here over to Toy
11:54
Story I mean a ton of land is not even
11:57
used through here right it's all
11:58
vegetation yeah it's such a great photo
12:00
there there was other stage shows too
12:03
but I can't it was like an Ace Ventura
12:05
show that was a little farther down the
12:07
streets halfway down the streets
12:08
Goosebumps was there I show and then
12:11
Turtles and then Power Rangers replaced
12:14
the turtles and then the Muppets did a
12:16
little show there at one time as well
12:19
a lot going on here so much very 80s
12:22
awesome
12:24
late 80s early 90s
12:27
it was a time even though the opening
12:29
day uh map had Chippendale Rescue
12:33
Rangers premiering this fall they
12:36
weren't even they weren't even out yet
12:37
and that was like my entire childhood
12:40
here's a really good throwback photo as
12:42
well so you got the Singing in the Rain
12:43
area over there you got the archway we
12:46
already showed you got the turtles over
12:48
here to the side you got the splash
12:51
Fountain over here in this Courtyard so
12:53
this building here was kind of off it's
12:55
almost like in the exit area of Rise but
12:58
over here now in this photo the Bulldog
13:00
Cafe had not been moved there used in
13:02
The Rocketeer but it was right there on
13:04
that corner the tram would come down
13:05
residential street then it would take a
13:07
right to go that direction towards
13:09
catastrophe Canyon and that's where the
13:11
Bulldog Cafe was so we're gonna try to
13:12
pinpoint where that was and we're gonna
13:14
get into some residential street stuff
13:15
now which is basically heading into the
13:18
marketplace area of Batu East another
13:23
great old photo here you see how the
13:25
trams kind of went around outer
13:28
residential street went past the Bulldog
13:29
you see Bulldog Cafe was not too far
13:31
from the building that was next to the
13:33
Singing in the Rain area and that
13:35
Archway really everything made it seem
13:37
bigger than it really it really was the
13:40
tram would go that way to catastrophe
13:42
Canyon you can see and that's where a
13:43
lot of old movie screen used movie props
13:46
like to fly the Navigator the skip
13:47
bars from Jabba's Palace and return the
13:49
Jedi and others dipmobile from Roger all
13:51
that old historical Aerials here
13:54
so if you come down here so try to
13:57
figure out exactly where the Bulldog
13:58
Cafe sat which would have been right in
14:01
the center of the screen there
14:03
so scrolling over to this
14:06
this is a modern day view it basically
14:08
would have been where the where I always
14:10
say that the rancor would have been kept
14:12
behind the X-Wing as you're walking into
14:15
the marketplace so you come around
14:17
and then over here there's that little
14:19
big door but basically the Bulldog Cafe
14:22
was right through that door maybe it's
14:24
still behind the door
14:26
maybe yeah you never know you just
14:28
really never know if something that you
14:31
can't see well I mean obviously you go
14:33
on satellite view and see stuff but it's
14:35
just fun to use your imagination and
14:37
think wow so this is kind of one of the
14:39
areas that Mandalorian comes out of man
14:41
maybe Mandalorian is having a beverage
14:44
back at the Bulldog Cafe so if these
14:47
doors
14:48
were to open and you were to flash back
14:51
30 years ago the Bulldog Cafe would be
14:54
right behind these doors right here
15:06
amazing way you could figure out use the
15:06
satellite images there's a place in
15:08
Burbank that Nest house right there
15:10
recreated the Bulldog Cafe it's not the
15:12
actual screen you use one I hear chewy
15:14
Chewie misses the Bulldog Cafe someone
15:17
has that inside the museum but it's in
15:19
the Burbank area it's in uh it's in the
15:21
valley but it's not it's not the stream
15:23
used one I think it's a recreation it's
15:25
a little smaller so the church
15:28
that you're saying the church was
15:29
probably like right over here yeah in
15:31
that area and then they got it there
15:33
basically inside the
15:36
now we're kind of walking into
15:38
residential street now a lot of stuff is
15:40
backstage but there's going to be a few
15:42
things we can show you that are still
15:43
where anyone can walk all right we're
15:45
going to go forward it'll still back in
15:46
time a little bit we're going to go
15:47
forward a few years back when the car
15:49
stunt show existed but right over here
15:52
was something that was out when they
15:54
moved some of the old screen used props
15:56
but these are like Recreations of props
15:59
but there used to be screen used props
16:00
for movies back in this area back when
16:03
they had what was the name of that car
16:04
stunt show lights Motors lights motor
16:07
action in this area all right so you got
16:09
over in here you got there's the so
16:11
there's the fly the Navigator so this is
16:13
moved in two different spots it used to
16:14
be over by attached to the canyon then
16:16
years later it was over by lights motor
16:17
action but this is basic so if you look
16:20
exactly where the later versions of the
16:22
five Navigator spaceship was it is right
16:25
here the entrance into Droid Depot so if
16:28
you take that and then you kind of just
16:29
zoom in it's right at the entrance into
16:32
Droid Depot right there
16:35
so basically right here where these
16:36
these ferns this tree is
16:40
and if you shipped it that way you would
16:41
have seen the earful tower right over
16:43
there heading towards Slinky Dog get a
16:44
little closer and kind of match that up
16:46
too now where the earful tower was is
16:48
actually the launch area so if you're in
16:50
these if you're in Slinky Dog the ride
16:52
vehicle it launches exactly at the base
16:54
of the earful tower which means this
16:57
foliage one would have been right about
16:58
here not in precise location but more or
17:02
less of the same general area as Buzz
17:04
Lightyear uh-oh
17:06
Troopers are out now here's some images
17:08
of the screen news Return of the Jedi
17:10
skiff barge there from the sarlacc pit
17:12
area and this is the tank from last
17:14
Tuesday which is now over by the Indiana
17:16
Jones stud shop and then there's also
17:19
one of Wayne zielinski's bands
17:22
from Honey I shrunk right there and
17:26
one thing I really liked about so this
17:27
was the first Studio I ever went to I
17:29
never went to Universal Studio the first
17:31
time I've ever seen any behind the
17:32
scenes anything on how movies are made
17:34
that's why I loved MGM so much back in
17:35
the late 80s early 90s look at this guy
17:38
right he's like he's like on a bike
17:40
riding past the dip Mobile screen used
17:42
dip mobile from Roger Rabbit and this
17:44
was all this is all in an area now that
17:46
is slightly backstage behind what was
17:48
residential street before all these were
17:51
moved over to where
17:53
stunt the car stunt show eventually
17:57
whatever wish all this is gone now
17:58
except for the tank
18:00
Tank's over by Andy okay got some good
18:02
old photos back from May of 88. before
18:06
the park opened the construction and
18:08
showed what residential street looked
18:10
like now quite a bit of this we're going
18:12
to be able to stand in the same spots up
18:14
oh look at this you could see earful
18:17
Tower off in the distance so follow that
18:19
former Ravine that's there
18:21
kind of go around you can see them
18:23
constructing it we're going to pinpoint
18:25
out what some of these were used some of
18:28
the Productions that these were used in
18:30
so you see here MGM Studios opens May
18:32
1st that was 1989.
18:35
and just kind of showing some of the so
18:38
we're going to show some screen grabs
18:40
from this house here also the empty nest
18:43
house was directly across from Vern's
18:46
house from Ernest Saves Christmas we'll
18:47
be able to stand in that spot and there
18:49
was this house which I can't really
18:50
pinpoint if anything was ever really
18:52
notable was filmed there Splash 2 was in
18:56
this house here in the middle of the
18:57
screen Golden Girls house was directly
19:00
across from it that they filmed in a few
19:02
episodes even though the real Golden
19:03
Girls house is in La they did film three
19:06
or four episodes where they used the
19:08
exterior here at Studios and then
19:11
Adventures in Wonderland used this house
19:13
and was also used at a couple of Mickey
19:15
Mickey shorts as well live action Mickey
19:18
shorts
19:23
yeah I love all these old photos
19:23
I think the most thing I'm most excited
19:24
about is just stand where
19:27
Jim Barney and John Cherry were this
19:30
photo here
19:31
I just found this photo recently I've
19:33
never seen this photo until like a
19:35
couple weeks ago I found it in a little
19:36
publication so it kind of ran
19:38
residential street kind of ran directly
19:41
down this route more or less not exact
19:44
you can kind of picture this if you will
19:46
that would be an imaginary residential
19:49
street modern day only in a galaxy far
19:53
far away okay doing this kind of a in a
19:55
in a bizarre way but basically I put the
19:58
rock right where right on Vern's house
20:01
so I'm gonna shift it over to the
20:03
satellite view that's exactly the same
20:05
aerial images that I printed off so
20:07
Vern's is The Rock
20:08
then you pan in this way which is
20:11
basically right as you're entering in to
20:14
Olga's Cantina which is right there I
20:16
wish I had a little bit smaller rock
20:17
what if I could find a small one
20:20
all right over here
20:23
was burns house
20:25
burn burn burn burn burn
20:29
so more or less when you're standing
20:32
here waiting to try to get into oga's
20:33
Cantina you're looking at the scene from
20:37
Ernest Saves Christmas and that photo of
20:39
John cherry and Jim Varney right here so
20:41
there they are Harmony star and Ernest
20:44
are driving up two Verns
20:47
Harmony start gets out that's the angle
20:49
this is also the same spot in the same
20:51
truck that that photo of John cherry and
20:55
Jim Varney was taken at probably during
20:57
that scene you could kind of almost
20:59
imagine the pickup truck turning burn to
21:02
right here and I love this photo this is
21:05
the same angle that we're basically
21:08
standing at we're looking at where that
21:10
photo in the driveway would have been
21:12
give or take a few feet
21:21
watch the scene I almost think that they
21:21
use the interior because they destroyed
21:23
it which means if you're in ogas that's
21:26
the same with the Christmas tree and the
21:29
punch
21:30
hey I'll never look at oga's Cantina the
21:33
same again
21:41
before they started putting the Chris
21:41
what was the Christmas light show that
21:43
they put on straights it was the early
21:45
stages of the Osborne Osborne spectacle
21:48
of life and that was like when it first
21:50
started and when they got rid of it they
21:51
kept the osbornes on the streets but
21:53
residential street they would deck out
21:54
all the houses right I was lucky enough
21:57
to have no photos or video of this but I
21:59
was lucky enough one time to be able to
22:01
walk through residential street when
22:03
Osborne's was back there before it made
22:06
it on the streets of America like a
22:07
dream and you could walk up I walked up
22:09
to Burn's house I have no documentation
22:11
of it but I was like I'm standing at
22:13
first now sir we're gonna say it's
22:14
Christmas which was right there yep
22:16
there were cast members serving hot
22:17
cocoa and candy and things like that and
22:20
then they had the whites all on the
22:21
houses wow and then a couple years later
22:23
it became the osbornes that we know and
22:25
love on the streets of America yep I was
22:28
there that last night too that was a sad
22:30
one
22:30
so if you take this so Burns was here it
22:33
means across the street in this General
22:35
vicinity was the empty nest house and
22:37
the Golden Girls house was right here
22:40
right more or less right here I'm gonna
22:43
try to pinpoint it a little bit okay it
22:44
was actually the opposite direction so
22:46
Burns is here empty nest across the way
22:49
and then off to the right was The Golden
22:51
Girls house and then that was the
22:53
Adventures in Wonderland house Splash 2
22:56
house and then if you continue on that's
22:58
where a bulldog Cafe is streets were
23:00
okay there's the Adventures in
23:01
Wonderland house that would be farthest
23:04
down almost over towards the Falcon
23:06
almost yeah almost at the Falcon yeah
23:08
and then you had emptiness in this house
23:11
long shot empty nest then Golden Girls
23:14
oh the girl's house there and then
23:16
across the street Burns
23:18
that's okay we're going off of these
23:20
sound stages two of the three still
23:22
exist so we're looking at the angle and
23:24
how we can pinpoint where the Golden
23:25
Girls house was empty nest house and all
23:28
that kind of angled up so this over here
23:30
is where the tram would load that is
23:32
gone now the backstage but these two
23:34
sounds stage what we just showed on
23:35
satellite
23:36
so again I'm saying the word Vern
23:38
playing a drinking game how many times
23:39
saying burn today might not end well but
23:42
if you look across emptiness house
23:44
Golden Girls house would have been whoa
23:49
right there
23:51
so basically right there was the golden
23:54
girl's house right there there was also
23:57
a time when Herbie would be on the tram
23:58
tour and Herbie was in the same spot as
24:01
Ernest truck would have been from that
24:03
angle also and that's looking which
24:05
would be more or less right about at
24:07
this angle too you get the idea there
24:09
was a sing-along called Mickey's
24:11
sing-along or something like that it was
24:12
like a kind of a little short one of the
24:15
few things they filmed on the back lot
24:16
or at least the street not streets but
24:18
residential street and this is actually
24:20
see Mickey there here's another one so
24:23
this house is exactly where kylo ship is
24:25
and they're going to do something the
24:26
Troopers this is exactly where that
24:28
house would have been Mickey is no
24:30
longer here now it's the first order but
24:33
this is that spot where that facade
24:35
would have been right here Silo ship now
24:38
we're at catastrophe Canyon would have
24:40
been is backstage can't get back there
24:42
but pretty much all of residential
24:45
street is now Batu East I want to show
24:49
this house over here in the corner too
24:51
which is kind of kind of in the area
24:54
pictures of Wonderland okay you got John
24:56
Forsyth there who was doing the opening
24:59
walking over there you walk past the
25:01
Golden Girls House of this house is
25:04
basically right at docking base seven
25:06
now do you have a photo that you took or
25:08
that you got here of the what's
25:11
happening there you go that's basically
25:14
where Docking Bay is now
25:16
some moof juice and surly sarlacc in
25:20
this area to be more specific it was
25:22
kind of more over here in the corner
25:24
this has been elevated so it was a
25:26
little bit lower down but it was using
25:28
quite a few Productions just basically
25:29
right here and you can look across see
25:32
the Millennium Falcon fastest hockey
25:33
truck in the Galaxy man so this
25:35
basically is
25:37
residential street kylo has taken over
25:40
residential street he's walking in front
25:42
of burns
25:52
walking the tram route there's another
25:52
photo
25:54
of Herbie there in foresight then there
25:57
was this house on the end here which we
25:59
just showed which is where that
26:00
sing-along special was you see the kind
26:02
of the roof line to that
26:04
okay we're getting into Splash two so
26:05
I'll be kick back I want to get ahead of
26:07
myself and there's Forsyth in front of
26:09
the Golden Girls house that's right with
26:10
Estelle Getty and Ruby glanahan they
26:12
actually were there on site they come
26:14
out and said hello that was when they
26:16
did their hand prints for the grand
26:17
opening pay no attention to kylo down
26:19
there because I want to show
26:23
so you see off in the distance here and
26:26
it says Christmas house off in the
26:27
distance there and then you can also see
26:31
two houses down was this one used in
26:34
Splash two
26:35
which starred Amy yasback who was
26:38
married to John Ritter who did the
26:40
opening of MGM Studios special corporate
26:43
was a correlation it was kind of in the
26:45
same time of year she played the mermaid
26:48
and that was the house across the street
26:50
from them
26:51
so there's Amy and the other actress and
26:53
here's another screen grab from Splash 2
26:56
t-o-o looking down this precise angle at
27:00
where
27:01
those houses would have been
27:08
I wonder what was exactly where the
27:08
Falcon sets now oh my gosh Kyla's just
27:11
stuck there
27:13
okay just guesstimating
27:15
so right over here in that little plot
27:18
there the tram going by just off to the
27:21
side so Center the screen
27:24
that is where the Falcon is right now
27:27
and if you continue up go through the
27:28
marketplace right on that corner behind
27:31
the rancor door I call it for the
27:33
Bulldog Cafe Bulldog Cafe is not that
27:36
photo but that's where it's at yeah
27:37
right where kylo and the trooper just
27:38
walked past us right in front of donkey
27:40
Bay is where John Forsyth was this is
27:42
the
27:43
scene from the opening special because
27:46
that's the that's the person who was
27:49
putting this put the fake snow down
27:51
that's right also this is kind of a deep
27:54
cut photo from splash 2.
27:56
they don't show this angle but that's
27:58
the Golden Girls house right there
28:00
there's where John Forsythe was with the
28:02
snow and all at the opening special this
28:04
is the yard that they trash for Splash
28:05
too but you see in the TV made for TV
28:08
movie the camera's facing where this
28:10
whole crew is standing it's kind of a
28:14
pretty cool cool photo take a look
28:16
there is Amy and Todd Waring
28:24
in front of the residential street
28:24
houses
28:26
now Galaxy's Edge and obviously this
28:29
whole area has changed dramatically
28:31
it almost seems like when they had it
28:33
set up before it seemed a lot bigger and
28:36
larger than it was now oh here's a nice
28:39
little MGM nod some say that that is
28:41
from The Great Movie Ride it was the
28:42
part from Indy and the Indiana Jones
28:45
scene where he's getting the the Ark of
28:47
the Covenant
28:48
I've never fact checked that or
28:50
confirmed it but it sounds sounds pretty
28:52
interesting
28:54
black Spire Outpost formally
29:02
MGM Studios residential street
29:02
wild yep so earful Tower was right over
29:06
there at the initial launch of Slinky
29:08
Dog so it would have been right about
29:11
there more or less so basically so where
29:14
this next group of people are going to
29:16
be coming around the corner and the ride
29:17
vehicle they would be going right
29:19
underneath more or less of the earful
29:21
Tower and John Ritter John Ritter tie-in
29:23
was up on the airport tower for the
29:25
opening day special he was like up there
29:27
there was a rumor that they were going
29:28
to move the earful tower over to Disney
29:30
Springs but that never happened so they
29:33
just went right through where the earful
29:36
tower was beautiful Tower probably in a
29:39
junkie somewhere sadly
29:47
we're heading out to the parking lot we
29:47
