You keep calling int Pleasure Island but I thought it was the Landing now.
ReplyDeleteWhen Downtown Disney became Disney Springs, there was a ceremony and all the signs were changed to reflect the new name.
ReplyDeleteWhile the renaming of Pleasure Island to The Landing doesn't require a ceremony, I've yet to see any signs when you cross over onto Pleasure Island that state that you're now at The Landing. So we're presuming that the name change has not yet occurred. Once it does, the Blog will support the name change.
In the meanwhile, hope to attend an Orlando City Lions soccer game soon over at Camping World Stadium, formerly the Orlando Citrus Bowl. They announced the name change a couple weeks ago and there are signs up everywhere with the new name.
IS that MAXWELL'S DEMON? on the W (WEST) (MANNEQUINS Pleasure Island Canvas Works Fabrication Plant

Second building erected on the island, this actually housed Merriweather Pleasure's famous canvas fabrication works. In the 1930s, it was converted to a soundstage for Invincible Pictures, then into a design studio and workshop for various Pleasure projects. Most notable of these was a huge locomotive powered by a combination of steam and magnetic power. A colossal turntable was installed to facilitate the work on this revolutionary product, called "Maxwell's Demon", that was intended to revolutionize world transportation.
It didn't.
For further unverifiable information on the life and times of Pleasure Island, refer to the theoretical histerical plaques located at the island's entrances.
Brian, the locomotive shown on the W (West) plaque is a diesel locomotive. The locomotive built by Merriweather Adam Pleasure, the so called "Maxwell's Demon", was a steam locomotive.
ReplyDeleteAs many may not know, that colossal turntable that Pleasure used to turn the locomotive around was used in later years as the revolving dance floor at Mannequins Dance Palace when the former soundstage was converted into a dance club.
Thanks for the memories, Brian!
