72. The History of Superstar Limo
Description
Why did Disney make a ride so bad that it didn’t even last a year?
Buckle up for a cruise down the streets of Hollywood as we explore the history of Disney California Adventure’s Superstar Limo! If you’re confused (and horrified) by this short-lived Disney attraction, you’re not alone. We attempt to explain why how this ride came to be, including some budget cuts, drastic changes, and what it could have been after they closed it in less than a year. We also laugh hysterically as we try to mimic the smarmy agent puppet Swifty La Rue, pose like the creepy “minimatronics,” and try to find a context in which we would use the phrase “big boffo.” Our Eisner rivalry is also alive and well as we continue to debate his positive and negative influences in the Disney parks.
