Always love your content. Would like to see you cover Maximum Carnage at Halloween Horror Nights.
THESE SONG NAMES ARE SO HILARIOUS LMAO
"WIGGLEMANIA" LMFAO
Toot toot chugga chugga
Fun fact: The Delorean assembly line in Belfast used individual carriers for each chassis, rather than a conveyor. I believe they were signal-guided via an embedded wire like the Universe of Energy cars.
24:19 had me cracking up
Next upload
DefunctTV: The History of Squirrel Boy
Did y’all edit this knowing im stoned or
this video unlocked so many wiggles memories i had completely forgotten
I just checked and somehow poohs honey hit was 105 million dollars more expensive to open then millennium force which opened the same year….. Disney be smoking something
Toot toot chugga chugga
hahahahaha
there are 8 wiggles..
The deadpan delivery of this entire video is just, chef's kiss. I never thought I would laugh so hard watching a video about a ride I've never ridden in a country I've never been to themed around a kids band that was created while I was an adult and reached their heyday before I had kids… but here we are. Well done, sir.
Was the Big Red Car Tide the slowest Dark Ride in the history of Dark Rides, and if not where would it be ranked in the slow lane?
I just don’t understand why it only goes 1 mph. That makes it seem insufferable 😭
When I was younger I used to have a signed poster of The Wiggles. Years later I found out that my mom threw it away. I have never forgiven her for that.
No one:
Literally no one:
The ride: TOOT TOO-
This video bought back so many memories you should do a defuncttv episode series on them especially their time with Disney which was pretty interesting
I can't tell if its just that it's 3 am and I'm loopy, or if the long awkward pause followed by "TOOT TOOT CHU-" was just cosmically hilarious timing, because that part SENT ME
"No big send off or good-bye. Which is a shame because The Wiggles have four songs about saying good-bye." I laughed too much at this as a fan of Wiggles Lore.
@defunctland please cover VMK!!
24:26 what is that ride?
I was curious if you knew anything about the Reino Mágico theme park in veracruz mexico? I have been trying to find more information on it's history or even youtube videos discussing it but nothing comes up in english. The name I know translates directly into Magic Kingdom, and its "inspiration" from Disney is quite apparent, so i have become curious of it's origins
I've only watched halfway into this video and I'm already traumatised by 'toot toot chugga chugga big red car'
I have been re-watching this video every two to three days a week. The Fast Pass and Disney Theme are imo, the best documentaries you made. But for some reason this video kept calling me back, did I catch the wiggle fever?
The wiggle swarm is coming. Was it worth it?
Old Greg has a m*********. Some of you will know.
I alwas assumed wiggles were a brand created by a tv studio or something and not a real band
Which ride is worse, this or the Garfield dark ride? 😂😂
Honestly the wiggles didnt have any right to make childrens songs that sounded as good as they did. If you changed the lyrics to the songs they could be top 100 pop songs.
"thrown under the big red car" is an incredible title.
Man that door is high as fuck, or is ready to fuck.
why did i nearly start crying when you told us the Big Red Car Ride closed without fanfare
Thanks to this video we can now create a connection between The Wiggles and the lord himself
As an Aussie I appreciate the full deep dive into Dreamland, and for not assuming we’re all backwater hicks like other Americans 👍💖
The music you play of theirs sounds like parodies of inane children's music. Just awful.
30:08 lol
It blows my mind that a 40 minute documentary on Defunctland is now called a "minisode" 😀 These videos are one of the big things I look forward to 🙂
So sad that so many bouts of sickness, a pandemic and bad luck took so much away from this cute ride 🙁
I feel like they could’ve used other songs in addition to Toot Toot Chugga Chugga in between rooms, since they made other songs about the Big Red Car besides that one. (Big Red Car and We Like To Say Hello, for example)
"minisode"
40 minutes
You got me to watch the entire video even though I've literally never heard of the Wiggles
thanks
@defunctland PLEASE DO AN EPISODE ON GHOSTWRITER THE PBS SERIES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Why were the screens so small… There can't be much savings not having proper big screen TVs???
The Wiggles is giving me the weirdest kind of deja vu nostalgia memories. I wasnt even alive during their peak runtimes.
