𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 ... You can still find a picture on the Merry-G-Round of Walt Disney's Daughters, Diane and Sharon?
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨 ... That the bench on which Walt sat and is still standing in an Exhibit next to the Merry-Go-Round?
𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.
The concept for Disneyland began when Walt Disney visited Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles with his daughters Diane and Sharon.
Griffith Park is not an amusement park theme, but an ordinary city park.
Watching them ride the merry-go-round, he came up with the idea of a place where adults and their children could have fun together, although his dream was dormant for years.
The Merry-Go-Round is hidden in the corner of Griffith Park.
The Merry-Go-Round was built in 1926 by the Spillman Engineering Company.
This Merry-Go-Round can also be seen in TV series and films as can be seen in the Film “Twins”
(Julius) Arnold Schwarzenegger and (Vincent) Danny DeVito, Take a Ride with Their Wives and New Babies. But also in the Tv Series "Buffy the Vampire, Slayer", where Amilyn (Paul Reubens) turns Grueller (Sasha Jensen) into a vampire. And in the music videos for the song "Where You Are" by Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey and "Don't Forget" by Demi Lovato. One of the most famous performances was in 1989's "Teen Witch".
