Disney History Leason ( 1 )
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 5:36 pm
A lot of people over the last few months have asked me who or where is Tom Marrow? Well your Disney History lesson for this week explains it all to you.
In Tomorrowland, the complex that is now known as Stitches Great Escape has housed a few rides. Before current, it was Extraterrestrial Alien Encounter, Mission to Mars, and Flight to the Moon, in reverse order.
In the beginning of the parks conception, the race to the moon was a big deal and Walt wanted visitors to see what moon flight could be like in the years to come, so he had Imaginers develop a moon flight simulator. Flight to the moon was born.
Imagine walking into Stitches Great Escape first inside room known as the Receiving Area and seeing a Mission Control room. Do you want to guess who the Mission Control Officer was….. Yes that’s right, It was Tom Marrow.
Now later on, when it became Mission to Mars, Steve Johnson took over flight operations at Mission Control. Steve has seen then been demoted to Tomarrowland Skyview Traffic reporter, as heard in the TTA segment as you are leaving Mickey’s Star Traders heading to Space Mountain.
And as Paul Harvey would say….. And now you know the rest of the story!
