Are you interested in learning about the design of the 13 tallest icons at Disneyland? These icons have been created to enhance the Disneyland story and sometimes to help visitors find their way around the park. Some of them are designed to block out certain sections of the park, encouraging visitors to discover their own adventure. Others are buried in the ground to appear shorter than they actually are. In this video, we will rank the top 13 Disneyland icons and explain why each icon is the height it is and what kind of magical effect it creates.

    Fun fact: there was a LEGO leak that an upcoming set is Sleeping Beauty Castle from Disneyland. Not a giant $400 set like “Disney Castle” (Cinderella Castle) but a smaller but still well detailed set in the style of smaller castles they’ve recently done

    I never thought about it this way, but it's true! Grizzly Peak does a great job of dividing the park into distinct lands. It makes the whole experience feel more immersive and adventurous. Thanks for pointing this out!

    I never understood the WDW crowd insulting our smaller castle. I don't want to see a medieval castle from Tomorrowland or Frontierland. It's immersion breaking. Disney takes care not to ruin site lines, and the WDW castle stands out so much.

    Best Disneyland blogger/essayist around. No one covers the park like this!!!

    Watching your videos has been such an excellent way to get me in the mood for going to Disneyland later this month, for the first time. Your design focus is always so refreshing and informative. Keep up the great work Brickey.

    I really appreciate how much having the roller coasters themed as mountains does for Disney theme park atmosphere. So many times I've heard about some other company's new theme park, themed to something that sounds interesting, but when I go to look at images of it, it's just GIANT GARISHLY PAINTED STEEL COASTER TRACKS EVERYWHERE!!! Even California Screamin'/Incredicoaster, which is one kind of coaster themed to another kind of coaster, blends into its environment better than a lot of other "theme" parks' coasters do.

    My dad told a story from some point in the past (probably 1960s or 1970s). He was on a business trip and was eating breakfast with coworkers in Anaheim. They noticed what looked like a mountain in the distance, but not where it should have been. Eventually someone realized that they were very close to Disneyland and were looking at the Matterhorn.

    Another great video, Brickey! Things are looking up for this channel, and I’m happy to be here for it. And can I just say your video quality is out of this world!

    Growing up in California in the 70s when driving to Disneyland whoever saw the Maderhorn from the freeway first got to pick the first ride to go on. (kind of a silly game since the choice was always either Pirates Of The Caribbean or The Haunted Mansion).

    These are some of the best Disney videos on YouTube.

    On Aug 5 2001 my dad thought it'd be cool to climb Grizzly Peak to take photographs of the fireworks that night. On his descent down he got stuck for 127 hours, then was frozen from the cold 62° weather. RIP in peace pop pop. I'll always think straight and will continue to break down the walls in your memory ✖️✖️✖️

    Great video Brickey! You are knocking out of our the park with these latest videos! Definitely an evergreen video that can be watched for years to come! 🎡☠️🎢🏔️

    lol "Sorrowland Junk". Sad but true. Bones and shells of what used to be a great land visible to all. I hope once one of the future expansion areas is open they will raze Tomorrowland and make something worthy of Walt's vision. omg, children's hospital will stick with me forever😂
  • @edstrong597
