Actor Lloyd Bridges hosts this behind the scenes documentary for The American Adventure was created for The Disney Channel in 1987 and only ever aired a handful of times never to be seen again. The source for this video is from a master copy so you'll see some bars on the sides of the footage as this is the full magnetic tape image. At the time, The Disney Channel sometimes created documentaries about different aspects of the Disney Parks. by the 1990's this was dropped in favor of the occasional TV Magazine format. What's great about these longform documentaries is they chronicle the history of an attraction and celebrate it as it was built and not what it's been degraded into.
