There are a number of iconic characters one may run into while at Disneyland. However, there was a real star that almost became a permanent fixture at the California amusement park. A former Disney employee recently revealed John Travolta almost agreed to be used for a ride at the iconic park.
Jim Clark is a former Disneyland imagineer, the position responsible for designing and building the theme park's attractions, and he recently took to social media to discuss his time with the company. One of the biggest revelations was that John Travolta was almost used for the 'Soarin' Around the World' ride, but his work schedule, and facial hair, prevented them from using Travolta.
"Two months before (Disney's California Adventure) opened; we still hadn't shot the preshow. John Travolta was interested, but his movie's schedule was making it difficult, plus he had this little beard," Clark said in a since deleted tweet. Instead, the team used actor Patrick Warburton after seeing his performance during a screening of 'Emperor's New Groove.' Hopefully some more Disneyland secrets are to come.
