- backstage at Epcot, i find myself exploring Disney's abandoned cranium command! please share and subscribe!
Check out my videos exploring Disney's abandoned DISCOVERY ISLAND and a 18th century ABANDONED SAW MILL!
• Disney Body Wars Epcot
• Disney Discovery Islan...
Now that the Buzzy kid animatronic was stolen, this video must be preserved at all costs.
I thought the whole thing was stolen recently
Actually they had to put him away after his coat and hat were stolen but they were so lazy that cut the wires. Plus people kept getting there and Disney was afraid of people getting hurt.
However, spares were made, thus he’s still complete
Library Of Congress where you at?
Wasn't stolen. It was a miscommunication between security and maintenance
It's kinda sad how Buzzy's still lit up with the sad little spotlight... just sitting there, waiting for the next audience that will never come... :( Poor little guy. Idk why but that spotlight just makes it infinitely sadder for me.
yeah if amintronics thought anything (its kinda creepy to think about) i think that Buzzy thought that there would be another show and keeps waiting wondering why no one is here and why no one ever came to check on him.
It’s an animatronic... it’s not real...
While Buzzy isn't a real PERSON, the fond memories he could have been part of are VERY real to those who have them. A person can be sentimental regarding an inanimate object.
Perhaps they had to keep a light on so there would be SOME light to move about the room, and trained it on Buzzy out of affection.
Charlie obviously, but I think people are just really fond of the character
RIP BUZZY :((
Before destroying the rides they should do a 360 camera recording of the show running, and be able to show it to future generations
used to work there - they definitely do this, just not necessarily in 360 and not necessarily to show to anyone publicly.
@@TylerMeacham ;-; its so sad that they are kept hidden away but at least they exist! Maybe, just maybe they will release them to the public some day
The do not destroy sign reads: "This item has been identified by The Walt Disney Archives as an item of historical significance to the Walt Disney Company. It should be submitted to the Walt Disney Archives prior to demolition. Should it's location change, please notify the archives staff." This is amazing news! It looks like demolition may actually happen to Cranium Command sadly, but Buzzy and some of the props WILL be safe!
They essentially mean that once work starts on the area, whether it be for a revamp or demolition, Buzzy and Hypothalamus will be taken to TWDA.
Rush Waggoner thank you! I was skimming the comments for this!
Tia Fogle no problem! It's good news for Buzzy and Hypothalamus character at least but I guess there isn't much more hope for the rest of the theater.
Thanks!
Makes me wonder if they're getting set up for the 35th Epcot celebration thats coming really soon! Like no wonder Buzzy looks fixed right there. He has a fixed eyebrow and no lazy eye. Yet it's super creepy to see this with some lights on and have a big kingdom keepers vibe on me. Anyone read those books? XD Plus I wonder if they will go to the disney museum somewhere? they are pieces of history and wonderful imagineer work.
"Hey Jim, should we turn off the lights on this ride since it ain't gonna be used no more?"
"Nah, leave it on. Give some kid a heart-attack in ten years when they walk in and see it lightin' up the puppet's face!"
Lol
I mean he’s not lying
damn. all disneys abandoned stuff is so surreal
No one's around and the ambiance is different with no context other than backstage concealment.
I've been begging someone to do this for years at this point. You've gone way above and beyond what I would have expected someone to do when going backstage. Thank you for this rare insight.
Five Nights at Buzzy's.
I dunno why seeing that lifeless animatronic sitting in a dark room with a tiny spot light with a massive human face shaped wall behind him is so terrifying but the more I describe it the more obvious why it's scary it becomes
Add the fact that he’d be magically stolen one day to make it worse
Eerie to see Buzzy fully lit by a spotlight and hypothalamus eyes still lit up.
Buzzy: Hello? General Knowledge? Is anyone here?
Hypothalamus: Just me, Buzzy. We're the only two left in this lonely pavilion, While everyone else left...Even General Knowledge is no longer with us.
@@ClearwaterMK2 maybe their human is dead
@@ScorpionsFatality Their human is literally 12 years old. How did Bobby die all of a sudden? Don't tell me...He got murdered by those bullies that harassed Annie. Right?
@@ClearwaterMK2 that hurt
Yep.
Legally they have to leave some lights on as it's an emergency evacuation route for cast members. Easiest to leave ONE of the lighting circuits powered, which happens to also power the spotlight in the chair!
The spotlight on Buzzy is a little creepy and unnerving but he is so adorable. It makes me sad that he is all alone in there
The spotlight is there because he's afraid of the dark, so not so spooky!
He's just like "uwu love when take my hands and ill take your soul uwu"
He was
This does actually quite make sense, because in the original ride, he says all right now where is the light I can turn on, and since Disney decided to close down the attraction, they decided to put a light on for him so he doesn’t get scared of the dark, but it looks like it’s decaying, but somebody has been looking after the animatronic most likely, Disney Imaginaires, or other people And it confuses me because when they stole the animatronic that is a 300 pound animatronic how would somebody be able to lift that and not fall into one of the holes beneath Buzzy and also it is really thin to walk on there so they must’ve had some assistance, but how would they get a cart onto there, but I am thinking that since somebody stole his clothes, it would be less heavy for them to take the animatronic down, but still confusing
who’s here after the buzzy news dropped?
Meeee
Abigail Wynn 🙏🏼
Me
Sup 😂
Sadly, me! #findbuzzy
HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS???? Honestly so lucky to even have the guts to go into these places
Pander on!
This video is honestly one of the scariest things I've ever seen
When he hopped down into the backstage that was sick
Do not destroy the hypothalamus. Without it, you won't know how to make your heart beat.
Well. As of this month, Hypothalamus is actually stolen, along with Buzzy
@@SalemLD Where did you hear that?
Salem Lynx Dragon disney
SirClearwater its of Disney they stole him
*Where the hell is the security? no wonder Buzzy got nicked*
ShaBon it was disney
the unknown gamer no it wasn’t lol they confirmed backstage Disney stole it and even a dress from the Haunted Mansion
Carter Lynn that’s what I said
the unknown gamer backdoordisney aka Patrick spikes stole it... allegedly. It’s been stolen though there are police reports unless Disney filed a false report (felony)
8:11 That's a "loop closet". In the days before digital projection, they'd project stuff on screens (in this case the two "eyes" in the theater) from film. To keep the film from wearing out and scratching, instead of them running onto reels and off again they'd go up and down all those rollers in an endless loop. The film never touches itself. The "closet" has glass doors and an air filtering system to keep dust out.
I’ve been wondering for years what those were all about!! Thankyou!!!
Definitely creepy looking back there. I was half expecting a zombie from Resident Evil to jump out and get you. Or a Disney World security guard.
misterbetta1 both are just as frightening
misterbetta1 OI, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU DOING?! (impression of a security guard)
Buzzy hands are missing in this video.
Oooop i think Carl ate them
Who’s watching this now 2020?? I’m still in awe of this
What else can I do in quarantine in a pandemic Lol
I straight up thought until 2 days ago that Cranium Command was a fever dream I had as a toddler. This is some Bendy and the Ink Machine shit right here, though.
Maaan, you got balls of steel going in and recording this stuff for posterity.
SUBBED.
It's really eerie just seeing Buzzie just there. Doing nothing and just sitting there when the attraction closed.
I was just waiting for him to turn his head
Wow! I can not believe you were actually able to walk in and get so much footage. I thought it would just be the auditorium room and stage where the screens and animatronics are, but when you jumped down and went under the stage I knew this was gonna be epic! Fantastic footage! You've got yourself a new subscriber! 😜
Interesting how Disney has many old attractions that they have just never dismantled, and many still have power.
its an evacuation route for cast members so they have to legally keep lights on back there
I'm surprised Buzzy isn't literally falling apart
Its so insane this is still here. the queue looks worse for wear but the inside of the theater just looks like its in between shows! amazing.
WOW!! Jaw Dropped! Legend status unlocked!
Seriously, so far above and beyond anything. Forever in your debt
They should re-purpose it for Inside Out
Totally!
They most likely will do that. But they need to find a new sponsor for the Wonders of Life Pavilion.
Yeah
@@funandgames4645
They really don't need sponsors if they can spend billions buying out companies.
Clay3613 all of those buildings have sponsors. Unlike movie studios, Disney World rides don’t actually produce money. In fact they cost money. Maintenance, employees, operating costs. It drains money from the parks and the price of admission cannot always make up the expense. Disney will often reach out to other other companies to sponsor the buildings so that they can maintain the rides and attractions. Disney would need to find a new sponsor if they would want to open a new attraction there
Man, I was just waiting for Skippy to turn on at any second. I swear, all you'd need to do is flip the show start button. This theater looks like it's primed.
Wrong attraction, Skippy was from Alien Encounter.
It's also not been run for a long while. So the animatronics might look nice. But the software is old and outdated most likely.
ScorpionsFatality buzzy xp
@@theodoreking8605 the ride was released in 1989 so windows xp wasnt created in those times so it might be an older version.
@@lederp8358 It had probably been updated throughout it's years of operation. But there's really no way of telling so in the video. Even though the servers were still there, computers are about the first thing to leave attractions when they get closed down.
What's the whole deal with the "DO NOT DESTROY" tags. Does it mean they'll repurpose the pieces for future use, or for preservation?
Preservation, likely; utilization in future attractions, possibly. A perfect example is an old RX-24 / REX model from the old Star Tours ride being in the new Star Tours queue. It's also possible that these things might also be auctioned. If they're not set to be scrapped for parts, well.. nostalgia sells.
They're all set to go to TWDA, whether they'll show up at a future D23 or be locked up and never seen again is up to them.
those are tags for the disney archive.
PK Draw They’re being sent to Disney Archives.
Disney Archives
this man is the bravest person i’ve ever seen, imagine being alone in the dark like that. i would rot🤷♀️
I'm sorry, but Buzzy just sitting there in the dark with a spotlight on him is terrifying
This is cool and all but... why would they bother keeping the lights shined on the animatronic when no one uses the building?
+Jake RK yeah but what's the purpose of having that specific light on?
General illumination for anyone who needs to pass through
To keep the animatronic from coming to life and terrorizing guest.
I'd hazard a guess, based on the look of that control rack that's still on, that it's easier to leave that light on to have the other lights stay on with it than it is to find a programer to turn it off properly. Plus it keeps people from being surprised if they pass through during a maintenance inspection, a human like shape being silhouetted in the darkness of an abandoned attraction would scare the crud out of almost anyone.
It looks like it still has an Allen Bradley PLC 5 running the show, and it's still powered up and working based on the indicator lights. As far as I am aware, there are only a handful of schools among those that train PLC programmers that teach anything about the PLC 5. Between that and the potential to have lost the master copy of the program, which would make changing anything a nightmare that most of the programmers I know wouldn't deal with for a single light, it's really not surprising that it's still on.
And to answer the questions about where my information comes from, I spent a lot of time during my learning of PLCs with my hands on one of those, and I'd recognize that chassis anywhere. It's the top of the rightmost rack @7:07, the one with the green indicator lights and lots of grey plastic cards with labels.
I heard they did repairs on a slightly damaged Buzzy around 2013. Why would they be doing that?
You are insane dude, you have put out so many quality videos recently it is amazing! I have absolutely no idea how you have the courage to do this stuff...
Seeing how buzzy is just sitting there is not creepy.. it’s just sad. He’s been sitting there for like, I don’t know, 12 years or something, just waiting for people to ride his ride. But they never came... :(
All fun and games until he turns around and that puppet is gone
he comin
Pretty cool Matt, always wondered how much of Crainium Command was left. A little grease and flick of the switch and we might be able to enjoy the attraction for a little while.....if only....
Matt Guigear due to lack of maintenance and old software, the ride is not operational. They would have to completely rebuild it
@@funandgames4645 can't be that bad surely a little t9ld would do it
it is actually functional! i think i’ve read somewhere they have to run it every once in awhile, since it is still intact
@@yetanotheranna how when all the systerms have been removed
Space Dreamz maybe now that i’m thinking about it, it was actually a long time ago since they ran it. my mistake
Wouldn’t it have been crazy if the show randomly started
hello past person! I’m here to inform you that *that happened one time*
@@jonotman8220 if you know where, can you send it?
@@jonotman8220 When?
@@jonotman8220 you've intrigued me. How and when did that happen?
@@jonotman8220when? How do you know?
WHY IS THAT ANIMATRONIC STILL IN THERE?! AND HOW IS IT STILL SHINING WITH NO DUST?!
He is still in there because they are too lazy to remove him, by now i'm sure he no longer functions due to lack of proper maintenance, but they change the lights most likely for a night light esc thing for Cast Members to use when going through the theater.
1) he was going to be taken to TWDA (the Walt Disney Archives). 2) he was stolen. 3)he was said to be in still working condition(otherwise why would they have kept him all this time?) and 3) Had he not been stolen, he would of been part of Disney history.
Before he was stolen there was a group of cast members that would go back there and take care of him, well take care of him like dusting him off and giving him new clothes etc., the light was likely on for the reason @DreamfinderGuy stated
Magic and fairy dust
I love the liminal space-vibes that these backstage areas have. A little spooky, but also comforting because of the nostalgia
you are crazy doing this. this is one step beyond Adamthewoo! you're lucky the cast members and security didn't catch you and slapped you with a lifetime ban!
how the heck did you accomplish this dangerous stunt?!
However he did it I don't want to know because they might close off access.
Someone did and interview with Matt and unfortunately he has indeed been banned :(
Greg it's worth it to some. I'm glad they choose to do this.. if it means more to them to do it and get banned for the experience and to bring us this footage.. more power to them.
Greg he’s been banned but he still gets in. He’s doin America a great service. Leave the lil nigga alone!
PrismPhoenix Disney let AdamTheWoo back in!
I wonder if its possible to start up the attraction as it is. obviously there is power there though just emergency power.
It would most likely break it. Since it's probably not gotten any work done on it in a long while. Plus outdated software. That's the problem with this stuff. Certain things become obsolete.
The automation equipment still appears to be installed and turned on no less (7:03). These are the computers that trigger all the animations and audio for the show. I'm really surprised they still have it powered on. I would expect the power for all these cabinets to be locked out. The mechanical systems themselves probably needed a lot of maintenance so those are probably all gummed up and won't work smoothly anymore.
The big empty cabinets in the back (e.g. 8:10) were used to hold continuous loops of film for each of the projectors just in front of them. The film is completely removed, probably stored offsite in airtight cans to prevent it going bad. The projectors are certainly years behind on their maintenance and it appears they've all been opened up. Most likely the lamps have been removed as the lamps are somewhat volatile. So even if all the animations were still working, there would be no video.
Source: I used to work with the exact industrial control systems Disney used to control animations in rides built around this time. I am also a projectionist.
Interesting....
@@thesmallterror But what about those random objects in the rooms?
Who else wants to see him back up there and not stolen
That buzzy just sitting there... gives me the chills!
Yes, I know he went missing (scary to me, just because of how buzzy looks).
He's sitting there with a spotlight on him...that's some Bendy and the Ink Machine shit right there.
Someone get Jake Williams of Bright Sun Films here ASAP.
Clark Griswold yes I would like to know the background history of this place
Buzzys eyes are following you! 2:18
Holy shit, you're right!
It's surreal how the set and props are just sitting there abandoned. I remember seeing the show when I was younger. Cool video dude.
Holy crap! This is nuts! I always wondered if anyone has ever been up there sense it closed. Let's face it: I wouldn't want to be up there. (Apparently the cast members agree with me) It's creepy that he lights are on like that. The whole time I was expecting a fnaf jump scare! Amazing vid!
my bro had the balls to also show his face ABSOLUTE RESPECT
And wow, when you uploaded the video, I was actually at the park staring down the dome and took a picture of the outside.
At 7:03 is the animatronics control system.
Bro is in the backrooms😭
Nope it is a abandoned building in disney world called “wonders of life”
Buzzy kinda makes me chills. But he will never ever be forgotten.#wewillmissubuzzy
Imagine if everything accidentally turned on
You may have some of the last videos released of Buzzy, your now a legend among Disney fans Matt
Thank you for doing this! I went on this I was four and I never forgot it, and it’s crazy to think there’s only one theater and I was sitting right there in third row-I believe It. It looked pristine.
I live for this stuff! Thank you dude, you rock!!!
It's creepy to see how the animatronic is STILL in the SAME place after all yhese years.
Man this aged well ._.
Buzzy’s just wait for the next show to begin 😭
Man, feels really really weird watching this. I was at Disney back when the Wonders of Life was still a thing, and 14 years later, the same machinery that was used to entertain thousands of people rests in a decrepit theatre. Granted, I didn’t see too much of the exhibits, I was pretty freaked out about organs and stuff as a kid.
This is great stuff. Well done.
Wow wow wow! I would've turned something on lol
Peter Peanut I know right
Ikr
**turns on show**
Buzzy: oof ouchie owie hands hurty oh wait I have none LOL xD
Buzzy we love you bud!! Hope your safe wherever you are💖
It sounds like you’ve gotten a panic attack! That must’ve been a chilling experience!
You are up there in the ranks of Adamthewoo and Nomius. Very impressive work. Remember, take nothing, leave only footprints.
I wonder if the animatronics will be used by Imagineers for practice. I read somewhere that Imagineers practice programming on the robots for America Sings, so maybe this'll also be the case for the ones used here.
*extra hard-mode*
BUZZY vs. RANDOM TRAINING CASTMEMBER
BEGIN!
This was so rlaxing. I don't know why, but something about there being no sounds and no talking made it an oddly captivating relaxing video.
Imagine if he accidentally set the whole show off while in the control room. 🤣
Too bad Buzzy or the ride didn’t randomly start up, that would be so cool and scary
God if I got this deep into somewhere in disney I wasn’t supposed to be I would just put random post it notes everywhere. Nothing damaging. Just so someone, someday will find it and be like “????”
1:32 what IS that? OH! It's Buzzy! He just sits in the darkness!? That's so sad! ;_; but judging by that sign he isn't forgotten.
You my friend Are AMAZING!
For real-- your videos are awesome. I really hope you're not using your actual name. I'd hate to see you banned from Disney for this stuff.
I have no idea how you're accessing the areas you are. It's quite impressive.
LooksLikeCRicci he got banned
He did get banned, unfortunately.

Ummmmm how are u not scared of seeing a lifeless animatronic in a dark room
Hopefully, the footage used in the attraction is still archived.
It's still amazing how spotless this place is. Definitely not like anywhere else that had been shut for the past 10 years and over. And it looks as if it's going to re-open at any time.
I have some friends from high school that work at wdw and he actually let me explore both test track after dark and he also allowed me to explore the galaxy’s edge construction site and one time he let me celebrate my girlfriend’s anniversary inside of cranium command I am literally surprised that he hasn’t been fired
Based friend tbh lmao
The ASMR in this is insane
Omg how did you make it in there and out without getting caught? Are there no security cameras? Was anxious the whole time waiting for someone to show up
No one wants to be over there. (And I can't blame them)
I love your videos! Keep doing this (just don't get arrested)!
Insane how much is/was still intact there. I didn’t even know it went back that far.
2:08 were is da fuzzy boi
2:20 here is da fuzzy boi
XD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the things I would have done is go into the theater completely alone with nothing but a flashlight, some headphones, and my phone. And watch the video of cranium command in the exact theater that was once filled with people and enjoyment now sits in complete silence. Idk it’s creepy and awesome to think about.
I wonder if Disney will make a Cranium Command horror movie. As sad at it is but at the same time to be honest, it’s really unsettling and creepy to see Buzzy in the dark… it gives me that chilling feeling that ur being watched. The setting is perfect for a horror film. Buzzy would be the animatronic that would hunt you down if you enter not just Cranium Commend, but the Wonders of Life building as a whole. Disney, if u find Buzzy, PLZ use him as a prop for a horror movie. We need one! #findbuzzy
Dope shit dude, keep it up
Man you’d think Disney would have some security cameras rolling to make sure people don’t go where they shouldn’t be. All of that aside awesome video!
This kinda has a kingdom keepers vibe to it going into a ride when its shut down
I'd really like to know how he's gotten into , river country, Discovery island, body Wars and now here without getting caught
Kayers Of5 He did
Bradly105 Productions when?
ElizaKay92 check his older videos
If you're still interested, check out the Defunctland podcast that Matt was in :)
This guy’s a madlad
Awesome!
I’m sure that Hoot and Chief (God rest him) would approve!
He is abandoned there. Like a person. Waiting for friends to come but they never returned. Its honestly sad
This is great!
Wow 😱is amazing
Matt I still come back to your videos and show people, I remember finding you back in 2013. hope all Is well.
You are the best 🖤🥶
How is this video not taken down by disney
That is a nice theater
dude is that a free for all shirt?!?!? hell yes. thats awesome iv been to 2 of them at McCormicks .
