But Disneyland in California, is the original Magic Kingdom. From 1957 until the early 90s Disneyland used to be heavily referred to as "The Magic Kingdom". They stopped using it as much to make a clearer distinction between Disneyland in California, and the Magic Kingdom theme park in Florida. But that's not to say that this nickname for Disneyland is no longer used. While walking around Disneyland's Main Street you still hear the conductor refer to the park as Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. All the disneyland style parks around the world follow Walt's Magic Kingdom's hub-and-spoke design, and when creating the Magic Kingdom theme park in Walt Disney World Disneyland was the model. Many of the rides and attractions from Disneyland were found at Magic Kingdom on opening day in 1971. Any time I visit Magic Kingdom I always head to Adventureland and frontier land first. Those two lands have some of my favorite rides and a lot of these rides can also be found at Disneyland so I thought it would be fun to look at these rides history while Analyzing and comparing the rides on both coasts to see which park does that ride the best. Although I talk a lot about Walt Disney World on this channel. You'll probably be surprised with some of my opinions in the video So sit back and get ready to count down the top Disney World verse Disneyland rides the Adventureland in Frontierland Edition Number five the first ride. We'll start with is the world-famous Jungle Cruise The ride was an opening day Adventureland attraction at both Disney Land and Magic Kingdom The Jungle Cruise is known for its humor and puns and each ride shares similar scenes like the elephant bathing pool Headhunter territory and the hippo pool just in a different order for example at Disneyland The Indian elephant pool is the second scene whereas at Magic Kingdom It happens way after you pass behind Switzer Falls and through the Cambodian temple One major difference between the two rides is that Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise? Has that indoor? Cambodian temple scene with the Bengal tiger It really makes this version of the ride stand out and acts as a nice contrast between the outdoor elements At Disneyland they have the Cambodian ruins at the beginning of the ride And that's where their Bengal tiger can be found the current version of the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland isn't even the original incarnation of the ride that opened in 1955 from 1957 until 1976 the rights saw many major additions that added more humor to the ride some of the additions included the Indian elephant pool and the Cambodian ruins and 1962 the trap safari scene in 1964 and the gorilla camp the Bengal tiger and the Python in 1976 a lot of the later editions were influenced by mark Davis's designs and ideas from Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise Which opened in 1971? Your ride experience really depends on who your skipper is and both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom have some really great skippers This one's a close call. But the indoor Cambodian temple scene really brings the ride to the next level So in the case of the Jungle Cruise Magic Kingdom, does it the best? Number for another classic Disney attraction that's become a Disney park staple is Pirates of the Caribbean the right at Disneyland opened in 1967 and can be found in New Orleans square whereas Magic Kingdom's didn't open until 1973 and can be found in Adventureland now right away. I'm just going to come out and say that Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean is far superior to Magic Kingdom's the ride at Magic Kingdom feels rushed and in a sense It actually was rushed since it wasn't intended to be part of the park. We've mentioned this briefly in a past video but when Magic ingdom opened in 1971 Guests were outraged that the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction from Disneyland didn't have a home in Walt Disney World So in order to please the guests and increase park capacity Disney rush to get Pirates of the Caribbean open in Florida now California's ride is almost twice as long has two sizeable drops and many scenes that Florida doesn't have at Magic Kingdom the ride uses mainly the core of the show scenes from Disneyland But the parts that were left out in Florida are what make Disneyland ride far superior Nothing beats starting your journey in this beautiful indoor, Louisiana bayou Then after the two drops that were initially designed to pass under the Disneyland train tracks you find yourself in the underground grotto of dead man's Cove Disneyland's dead, man Kove has multiple scenes that were left out in Florida like the treasure room both parks now have the new auction scene but once you pass the small jail cell in Florida the right pretty much ends right away with Jack Sparrow as your light into the Unload station after the jail scene at Disneyland. There's an additional scene through the storage room Then you see Jack Sparrow as your boat climbs up the lift hill There's also this mini scene just before you return to the unload platform Disneyland has a complete beginning with a nice intro to the story that builds to the climax of the action followed by a Full-fledged ending that brings you back into the environment you first started in Magic Kingdom's ride just feels like it starts and ends way Too quickly, which is why Disneyland does Pirates of the Caribbean the best? number three Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room opened at Disneyland in 1963 then eight years later. It was one of the opening day attractions at Magic Kingdom in 1971 the Enchanted Tiki Room was the first attraction at Disneyland To ever feature audio animatronics and when it opened at Magic Kingdom, it was actually called the tropical serenade It was pretty much the exact same show That was at Disneyland, but the pre-show areas are different in their respective parks today Neither of the attractions are the exact same show that originally opened in 1963 Disneyland's was condensed by a couple minutes in the mid-90s and Magic Kingdom cut about six minutes off the original show when it officially became the Enchanted Tiki Room in 2011 from 1998 until 2011 the original tropical serenade became the Enchanted Tiki Room under new management featuring Iago and Zazu and January of 2011 there was a small fire in the building and when the sprinklers went off it caused damage to the animatronics Including Iago's animatronic the attraction had to close and since audiences were less than thrilled with a new management show Disney decided to head back to the attractions roots, and now it's the show we all know today Overall the attraction is very very similar in both parks But there's just something about Disneyland's Tiki room that has this charm and is actually pretty enchanting I mean these were some of the first animatronics that Walt Disney himself was able to oversee Although the animatronics were replaced in the mid-2000s They still kept the integrity of the figures and there's still so much history in this attraction you don't get this same feeling when you're in Florida not to mention that the Florida attraction is a Shorter show also the waiting area in California has a dole up stand right there and who doesn't love a good Dole Whip, right? Not to mention Disneyland also has Maynard He's a very well-known Disneyland cast member who spends a lot of time working this attraction and he puts on a show himself Although it's a close call. I'm gonna say that Disneyland does the Enchanted Tiki Room the best Number to Splash Mountain is one of the popular thrill rides at both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom and are perfect for cooling off on that hot day Disneyland Splash Mountain was the first to open in July of 1989 and can be found in critter country whereas at Magic Kingdom Splash Mountain Opened in 1992 and can be found in Frontierland the ride at Disneyland was the results of Imagineers being tasked with building a new ride to get people over to what was then bear country while trying to find a way to cut some costs and reuse the old animatronics from the old America sings attraction The ride was such a hit that Michael Eisner decided that the Magic Kingdom also needed its very own Splash Mountain Magic Kingdom's version is about a minute and a half longer than Disneyland Coming in with a ride time of 10 minutes and 40 seconds Both rides feature the iconic fifty two and a half foot plunge down chickaphant hill in addition to other smaller drops Magic Kingdom has a total of five drops as opposed to Disneyland's three drops One major difference you'll notice just by looking at the ride is the seating arrangement of the ride vehicles Disneyland has a single-seater log whereas Florida uses a larger double cedar logs Splash Mountain is filled with animatronics And I think it's fascinating that the old animatronics from America sings were repurposed into the ride at Disneyland But the animatronics at Magic Kingdom are much better figures in my opinion just as an example This is Brer Fox in Florida, and this is Brer Fox in California the story at Magic Kingdom is also easier to follow and makes more sense Compared to the way the animatronics tell the story at Disneyland in many scenes It's apparent that it was an attempt to use as many old animatronics as possible and don't get me wrong I love animatronics obviously, but for the sake of this comparison This is where it loses some points also If you've ever listened closely to both soundtracks Splash Mountain that Disneyland follows more of a big-band jazz feel to match New Orleans Square At Magic Kingdom Splash Mountain score has more of a country bluegrass feel with banjos and harmonicas that match the Old West vibe of frontier land I Personally think the soundtrack at Magic Kingdom matches the Brer characters and atmosphere a lot better now I'm not saying that Disneyland Splash Mountain is a bad ride by any means But this is one of those cases where Disney's first attempt at a ride wasn't the best version they've constructed Using what they learned at Disneyland they were better able to refine the ride for Florida So the Magic Kingdom in Florida does Splash Mountain the best? Number one at both parks frontier land is home to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad the coaster at Disneyland opened in September of 1979 and Magic Kingdom's opened shortly after in November of 1980 They're both the wildest ride in the wilderness and the track layout of Magic Kingdom is pretty much a mirror image of the layout in Disneyland the ride in Florida does take up 25% more space with its theming and cue But both have three lift hills and reach top speeds of about 35 miles per hour The queue at Magic Kingdom does offer some pretty spectacular Views of the Monument Valley and the entire landscape of the ride compared to what you see at Disneyland up until 2013 I'd say both rides were pretty equal, but would probably declare Magic Kingdom as the winner since it has a superior queue January 7th 2013 marked the day that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland closed for the most Extensive refurb the ride had ever seen it was closed for over a year And once it reopened on March 17 2014 it became the superior version of the two in my opinion Thunder Mountain at Disneyland is now much smoother since Disney replaced about two-thirds of the track during that refurb and there is new trains added the third lift Hill also saw some new effects which included projection mapping for the ignition of the dynamite as Well as blasts of smoke for the explosion The third lift Hill in Florida currently has no effects But when the ride first opened at both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, this lift Hill used to have a falling rock effect You can see it here where many of the rocks had the ability to move and shake after an incident in 2011 at Disneyland Paris, the effect was shut off at all parks but the difference between Disneyland and Disney World is that Disneyland actually replace the effect and Magic Kingdom has not and that's with many multi-month refurbs since 2011 I'll still give Magic Kingdom a point for the queue but in terms of the ride experience Which is what I'm primarily focusing on Disneyland thus Thunder Mountain the best So do you agree with these choices and if you don't which versions of the rides would you choose?
