Disney Dish with Jim Hill Ep 479: What became of that “Typhoon Lagoon” movie Disney was going to make

Jim and I look back at the development of Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, including the never-made Typhoon Lagoon movie.

Len Testa & Jim Hill start this week’s show by talking about what happens next with Disneyland Forward now that the Anaheim City Council has officially approved this project. They also discuss what Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed at the Company’s most recent earnings call.

Throughout this episode, listeners will learn about:

  • How long will the WDW version of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad be down for rehab
  • What’s interesting about Disney’s decision to extend the permit it had with the South Florida Water Management District for the area between Fort Wilderness & Wilderness Lodge for another 5 years
  • Which moderate resort at WDW will be having its guest room refurbished now through November
  • What did Michael Eisner want to originally call the water thrill park that the Company first announced for Florida back in December of 1985
  • Who did Disney initially hire to write the screenplay for that Studio’s “Typhoon Lagoon” movie
