Description

When is an omnimover not an omnimover?

And what is a Doom Buggy, really?

In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we move through the invention and evolution of Disney's unique ride vehicle, the Omnimover. From its humble beginnings in the Ford Magic Skyway to its current iterations in the Disney parks, we debate what really makes an omnimover an omnimover, dig up a few fascinating obscure facts, and discuss Walt's rocky relationship with Henry Ford II. Kate also comments on why Bob Gurr doesn't like Spaceship Earth, and Kirk finds a never-built Epcot attraction in one of his favorite pavilions.
