We Lost our Captain!


The King of Animation with the King of Pop


I know it is a different topic then what we talk about here at the Carolwood blog but it is worth discussing. On June 25, 2009 the world lost one of the most diverse and amazing entertainers, Michael Jackson. For 50 years he has been apart of our life and culture and has left this world with a legacy that will continue to move and inspire us through this contributions to music and dance. He was an inovator who always tried to deliver the best quatliy product regarless of what anybody else thought, reminds me of someone else i know....
During the height of his career he partnered with Disney (a company in which he admired) to create a new form of attraction involving a 3D short movie titled Captain EO. In September of 1986 Captain EO opened in Tomorrowland at Disneyland and had an eleven year run. When Michael opened his private estate Neverland Ranch in 1988 it included a zoo and a theme park, with a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, zipper, spider, sea dragon, wave swinger, super slide, dragon wagon kiddie roller coaster, and bumper cars, and what do you know it was surrounded by a train!
It's sad to see such a wonderful individual gone who has made such a mark on this world, it's almost like seeing a piece of your child hood pass away as well.
