Hiya folks! Thanks for joining us here at Park Lore! If you’re new, be sure to take the full circle tour through our in-depth, ad-free, totally true collections tailor made for fans of themed entertainment, storytelling, theme park history, Disney Parks, Universal Parks, and Imagineering.
The full story of Alien Encounter? Yep. Journey into Imagination? Uh huh. Discovery Bay? 20,000 Leagues? Westcot? Yes, yes, and yes. From Superstar Limo to Jurassic Park: The Ride; The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man to Mystic Manor; Stitch’s Great Escape to Journey to the Center of the Earth; Horizons to Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune; Poseidon’s Fury to Indiana Jones Adventure… This is your all-in-one place to discover the stories behind the rides!
At Park Lore, you can dig into the full stories of closed, classic Lost Legends; peek behind the curtain of Imagineering’s Modern Marvels; open the case files of shocking Declassified Disasters; and step foot into never-built Possibilitylands you can hardly imagine… It’s all clickbait-free, quality-over-quantity, and ad-free, powered by Park Lore Passholders who support this growing effort for as little as $3 a month (and in exchange, unlock features like rare concept art in stories, a hundred exclusive articles, in-depth Special Features, member cards and collectable postcards in the mail, and more)!
But okay, okay… We know why you’re here…
This giveaway has ended! Thank you for participating, and keep reading and spreading the word about Park Lore to kick off future opportunities!
Park Lore’s Runaway Giveaway
In case you’ve been under a Sleeping Beauty-level slumber and missed the buzz, here’s the deal: last month, McDonald’s debuted a 10-piece collection of Happy Meal toys that’s left Disney World and Imagineering fans scrambling for drive-thrus. Promoting Hollywood Studios’ star-studded trackless hit dark ride, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, the limited-time toys bring favorite Disney Parks attractions to life!
From Minnie driving a Time Rover with a DINOSAUR in tow to Daisy Soarin’ around Spaceship Earth; Goofy escaping the wrath of the Yeti on Expedition Everest, and (probably my favorite) Mickey himself “dropping in” to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, this very cool collection isn’t easy to piece together… And it took a whole lot of drive-thrus, plenty of iced teas, quite a few duplicates, an unexpected recall, and some help from my friends… but here it is, in all its glory.
How to Enter
Now, I’m offering up this complete, 10-piece collection for a lucky Park Lore reader! It’s quick and easy to enter! Note that you’ll get bonus entries for joining Park Lore for free, and even more if you empower this fan-created in-depth collection by joining as a supporting Passholder for as little as $3 a month (which also unlocks tons of perks across the site and a hundred extra articles)! The giveaway ends on December 18th (hopefully, just in time to receive a gift in the mail for the holidays) so get your entries in below!
Park Lore Runaway GiveawayA PERSONAL APPEAL: A whole lot of time, care, and love went into this collection, so I sure hope the eventual owner will love it, too… To be more blunt: if you’re hoping to get this set to resell it on eBay, I’d ask you to look elsewhere. A lot of memories went into assembling this ragtag railroad crew, and they deserves to find a home for the holidays, not to be turned over for profit. I didn’t buy it on eBay, so don’t sell it there!
