Welcome to our June Newsletter (better late then never). On
June 1 one of our servers (that handles site email and automatic
account activation) was compromised. We did capture the address and
info about the person that broke in and will be pursing it. We had to
completely rebuild the server. We completed the rebuild on June 8.
That is why we were slow responding to items the first week of June.
We have put extra security features in place so this never happens
again. Or server that contains user information was not accessed!
We have added a 11 minute complete ride through video of the
Submarine Voyage. The Submarine Voyage closed in 1998. It has now been
replaced by Finding Nemo: Submarine Voyage. Watch our video and
compare what the original ride was like to the new attraction.
VIDEOS, VIDEOS, VIDEOS, Over 250,000 people have viewed our sample videos on
20 different
video sites! We now have over 110 videos available along
with 4 full length A Day At Disneyland videos. We have converted all
of our videos to Flash format and making most of the videos available
for download in MPEG format.
MORE AUDIO due to a kind
DLDHistory member, Gina Draker, we have added 5 new audio clips: a 2 minute audio
clip from 1995 of
the Disneyland Monorail, an audio clip of "Drunken
Sailor" from the Sailing Ship Columbia, a minute and half clip of
the banjo music from Pirates Of The Caribbean and an audio clip from
Alice In Wonderland. We also have added an audio clip from
probably the strangest attraction ever to be at Disneyland: The Wizard
Of Bras that was located on Main Street USA. We now have over 4 hours of Audio files!
We have added some interesting very rare scans from Disney Imagineer
produced magazine: Imagineering For The Haunted about how WED created
the Haunted Mansion, and The Weird World Of WED Imagineering very
strange stuff.
We have added these scans to our Disneyland Print Ad Page
We also have added 20 new articles more than we have added in any
one month this year. We now have over 600 Disneyland Articles!
Take a look at our progress in the complete redesign of the site. You also now a chance to Beta test the new design and let us
know their thoughts. To switch to the Beta version of the site just click
on the link at the top of any DLDHistory.com page. This is the first complete re-write of
DLDHistory.com in over 3 years. And it is the first time we are beta
testing the design.
We are working on a few new projects for next month: More
attraction videos. Complete re-write of all of our pages for a
more consistent look and feel. Also a change to the navigation of the
site. Watch for our July Newsletter for
