  • Rolly Crump is one of the most respected Imagineers in history. He helped design attractions like The Haunted Mansion, The Enchanted Tiki Room, and It's a Small World. Earlier this year, I was invited to Oceanside California to attend the Oceanside International Film Festival. I was given the opportunity to sit down and talk to Rolly and ask him some questions. Maybe we'll all learn something new about Disneyland from this Q&A!
    Big thank you to Sterling Arno for setting this entire thing up! Without Sterling, there would have been no interview.
    Also huge shoutout to DoleWhipDame, Maddy, and everyone else who was able to meet up at the Star Theatre. I loved meeting each and every single one of you and hearing your stories. Hopefully next time I'll have a little longer time to hang out with all of you. :)

    This was really cool! What a great opportunity! Always so fascinating hearing imagineers talk about the early projects of the parks

    "Dallon" is his normal person name, "Offhand Disneyland" is his superhero name.

    Anyone else think Rolly looks a bit like Carl from Up?

      I've always thought this. First day I met him Instantly drew that similarity.

    That's awesome you got to interview Mr Krump. I got to meet Marty Sklar at a Q&A at the California State Railroad Museum in January. That whole generation of imagineers add filled with some many great stories are an inspiration to us all.

    Our family had passed down and was very proud of a story that our great grandpa had helped designed "it's a small world". It was not untill a few months ago when I finally sat down with him and asked him to tell us how it was to take part of that project since every time we ride it we remind our kids great grandpa helped to design it. Anyways I learned that he was actually never part of that project but he did help design the roads leading to Disney.... (The it's a small works was more interesting to the kids! Lol😂) Aswesome interview.

    Reminds me of Bob Gurr. Obviously, they are both highly respected original Imagineers it makes sense for them to be similar. I wish I could do what you do. I could talk about Disneyland all day, especially with the people who helped to shape it into the park we know now. Great interview. Glad you got to meet one of the Disney greats.

    You should've asked him what happened to the original hatbox ghost... I know it was taken out after a few days, but where did it go. Imagineers had to start from scratch when building the new hatbox ghost for Disneyland's 60th anniversary?

    @davidpoole7067 Před 5 lety

    Well done with the Interview, but Rolly wasn't responsible for the Haunted Mansion, the Tiki Room, or Small World. The only things he did that made it into the Mansion were the designs of the wallpaper and one chair. I believe he was basically Yale Gracey's assistant. He got on TV with Walt for his "Museum of the Weird," but they never used any of that (unless I'm mistaken?) He designed the Totem Poles outside the Tiki Room, and I guess he created the facade for Small World. He was, however, the lead on the Land pavilion at Epcot. His major claim to fame is that he outlived the more important Imagineers, and therefore has a lot of CZcams interviews. Now Bob Gurr, on the other hand--there's a contributor!
