Why Rocket Rods Failed

Rocket Rods was a short lived ‘E Ticket’ thrill ride that served as the main attraction in the New Tomorrowland of the 1990s. In this episode of Disney Journey, I invite you to visit that time period we look at the ride history, its fate and the reason why it was in Tomorrowland such a short time. The reason may surprise you. Jim Shull retired from Walt Disney Imagineering after a career of over three decades leading the creative design of rides, shows and attractions worldwide. Disney Journey is a video series where I share personal experiences and insights about the past, present and possible future of the Disney Parks and Resorts.
