Known for my Toys R Us videos but my real passion is for Disney history & secrets.
Building a Lightsaber in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge (Disney’s Hollywood Studios)
Building a Lightsaber in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge (Disney’s Hollywood Studios)
Way back, Stanley and I built lightsabers with scrap parts from Home Depot.. Now we have landed on the planet Batuu to do it for real at Savi’s Workshop!
Titling this was a nightmare by the way! The amount of keywords associated with building a lightsaber is nuts. The amount of names for Galaxy’s Edge is nuts. Think something like this: Building a Custom Lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop in the Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu at Walt Disney World’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge located at the Disney’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park. That’s just ridiculous!!! Anyways, enjoy the video!

Disney’s Old Key West Resort - 2 Bedroom Villa Room Tour I filmed this goofy little room tour back in June of 2022. I never planned on uploading this or anything, it’s more of a home video rather than anything professional. Part of me wished I had done a proper review of the the hotel so I guess I’ll just type one out here.. The two bedroom villa at Old Key West was huge, only 4 of us stayed in...

Where is super girl,cyborg,wicked cyclone, and sky screamer. These are some main attractions and some of my favorite rides. And I think they had to be included if you were covering everything

This was my mall. I spent so many Friday nights in the 90s with my buddies here. Wandering around, drinking Jolt Cola, reading the boxes of PC games I couldn't afford (and wouldn't work on the family PC anyways), occasionally catching a movie at theater. Eventually worked as a dishwasher at Ruby Tuesdays for a week, lol. It was sad to see this mall during it's last days. Even sadder to see it torn down a few years ago. Lots of great memories in this place. The early days of this place were also amazing. They had awesome science stores, and all kinds of shops where you could buy anything you could imagine. It's unfortunate that online shopping killed these malls. The Internet was great in the beginning, but it's really changed the world in a lot of negative ways, in my opinion.

Man imagine if someone was able to remake this ride but with the xenomorph like originally planned. It would be so terrifying hearing that thing walk around in total darkness. I was lucky enough to get the ride this the most vivid memory i have is feeling the breath on your neck. Now imagine that being the xenomorph doing that

😭😭😭 so sad!!
Rip
I miss Toys R Us 😭😭
@@BenLaurence same here 😭
You know, while an Alien attraction would absolutely not work in the Magic Kingdom for obvious reasons, it could ABSOLUTELY work in Hollywood Studios since Alien was literally in The Great Movie ride as you mentioned. Like we already have mature thrill rides at Hollywood Studios like the Tower of Terror and Rock & Rollercoaster, so an Alien ride would absolutely fit in perfectly with those. Like imagine how absolutely awesome and terrifying it would be if Disney made a ride that’s basically Rise of the Resistance mixed with Expedition Everest and Dinosaur where you race through a self destructing Nostromo where you constantly see the Xenomorph stalking through the vents and making creepy hissing noises all around you and eventually the Xeno starts popping out of the vents and stuff jumpscaring the riders, and at the climax of the ride the Xeno is about to jump at the riders but gets sucked out of the escape hatch at the last second. That would genuinely be my favorite ride in all of Disney World if they ever actually made that kind of ride. And since Disney owns 20th Century Fox now, it’s not like they would need to get the rights to Alien. I doubt it would happen but I would be on that ride day one if it ever was actually made.
100% agree!!! Put it over by sci-fi drive in and Star Tours for a little sci-fi land.. alien was my favorite part of The Great Movie Ride, a whole ride dedicated to the property would work so well now a days!
@@BenLaurenceabsolutely and given how a lot more parents nowadays are much less uptight in the sense that most parents understand that they shouldn’t be necessarily taking 6 year old Timmy to the Alien ride unless they know for a fact he would be completely traumatized by it, I could absolutely see this hypothetical Alien ride being a MASSIVE success with almost everyone loving it as long as they execute it right.
Hey Ben I just hope your doing man I’m happy to see you upload once a while now missed you man❤
Thanks 🤠
I never went to Toys “R” Us. I want to go to Toys “R” Us😭😭😭😭😭😭
That’s sad 😭
Video games video games video games
Toys toys toys
I never went to toys r us before
That’s sad
Rip toys “r” us
😭😭😭
I like video games.
Nice
I loved it so much. Most Europeans never understand what I am talking about when I try to describe this amazingly scary attraction. It was so damn awesome. I didn't know it is closed. Well, I'm glad that i experienced this masterpiece.
I wish it was still around! People need to be scared now and then, it’s thrilling!
din na
Rip Toys R Us 😭
Nice video! I get over to RP every now and then. Your video was before I started going in 2021. Del's lemonade truck always there I guess! I always grab one. Not familiar with the RP restaurant, so, I will check it out! TY (Subbed)
I’ve been wanting to go back for a while! Is it mostly the same as in this video? Thanks for the sub!!
Loved it! I watched a different Disney video from the early 70's and it featured this ride, sooooo I looked for a video featuring it and found yours! A++++
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
I' miss toys r us 😢
Me too!
Loved it
The video or attraction 😅
Spent an unforgettable day there in may of 1987 spring fling as I was a graduate of Johnson and wales 1987. The dining hall was cavernous. The best chowder I’ve ever had in my life as well as the clam fitters Ipswich clams❤ we were caught on the roller coaster as it got stuck we were stuck for quite sometime , very high up . The views were spectacular. Thank you for this memory . We were a bit under the influence so my memory is cloudy😂
Haha thanks for sharing your memories! I bet it was awesome back in the day
This was the scariest attraction I've experienced in 1994 on vacation to FL. My dad, a classmate and I sat in this, I liked the beginning but when the lights went out I felt frightened, thinking 'I want to go NOW, get me out of this room. I was 14, in 7th grade,
🤣🤣
It used to be toy rus But according to the comments It’s toys WERE us Well I mean it makes sense… But I was little and got to go to toys rus as a little kid They are reopen in macys so basically not your last time don’t worry
I miss Toys R Us 😭😭
@@BenLaurence it’s ok I do too…
This was the 2nd Jordan's Furniture I ever went to, and it's just neat how my first store outside of my local had SO much history! I've since been to the other locations, and I remember waiting in line for the laser show
The laser show is so sick!
@@BenLaurence My local Jordan's Furniture at Warwick Mall had a laser water show (combined) when I was little! It was called Splash, but it closed in 2017, and the shell of the old theatre still remains to this day!
There are actually toys r us stores that are open and they are in Canada
I want to come visit!
Ben, as a long time viewer of your channel, I watched a bunch of your old videos and visited all the Easter eggs you pointed out this trip.
Nice!! Thanks for watching! Love sharing all the secrets
The exit that used to read "Galleria Mall Drive" where you would exit 140 and drive to the giant parking area...is totally blocked off from the highway and has weeds growing in it now. Very creepy
I drove by recently and man it was so weird just seeing the empty land, knowing there was a whole mall there not that long ago
I worked at the taco bell around 1998. It was such a cool mall...i like the bay window in the foodcourt
Yeah the giant window was cool
Does anyone remember the old store on 2cd foor where you could by Movie prints and Hollywood memorabilia? Like original theatre posters and stuff.
I vaguely remember that
price chacker sign Kate lkes scanner semping
Huh??
I want all the toys R us
Me too 😭
Was wondering if you knew about the light poles! Some of the trash barrels were from the NY Worlds Fair as well. Not sure they are still there though.
Yeah I was going to mention the trash cans but I’m not sure which ones are left 🤔 cool they stuff lave some of the 64 fair history at the park
I’m happy I got to ride this! Good memories
Glad you were able to experience this great ride 😃
Guys let me tell you something that happened in our state There was a thing called party shop and the store is literally closing like that’s the only party shop in our state. Why are they closing it but at least they have a sale
Sad that Toys R Us is gone!
I worked at the Friendly's from 2002-2008. Got caught shoplifting at sears Spent many hours at the arcade. Used to ride my bike here from hanson. Sad to see it so empty
Daaamn I remember the friendlys! Wish they never closed this mall
@@BenLaurence do you remember the food court? After watching this video I tried finding pictures of it before it was turned into the Old Navy but no luck
most of my childhood is gone because of them shutting down. I have a giant Geffery plush still in my storage. Its sad to see this go
RIP Toys R Us was awesome!
No testers
Rip Toys R Us
Noooooooooooooooop
😭😭😭
Yo the kuu kuu harajuku toys r Us banner is on eBay for about 22-25$ in case you want some Australian cartoon history and toys r Us history at the same time
I should go back and sell that stuff!
@@BenLaurence there's also a paw patrol one
Hello Ben like you am a Toys r Us kid too 40 plus yrs 😢 p really really miss this once amazing toy store. My favorite section was the action figures and Star wars and toy story section. RIP Toys r Us.
Maaan I miss Toys R Us, hasn’t been the same without it
This was the scariest attraction I’d ever experienced, and I was in my 30s at the time. I’ve yet to hear it explained this way in reviews but I’m pretty sure the shoulder bars were not only for the 4D effects but also to lock people in their seats. Not being able to escape added to the fear factor but also prevented people from hurting themselves trying to get out in a panic.
Oh 100% they wanted to lock you in there 🤣 it also added to the whole sub plot of the XS aliens possibly being evil
yes❤
RIP COUNTRY BEARS 😭
