When the proverbial "problem" hits the attraction, another voice on the audio busts into "Help me Rhonda!" I give it up if someone can name me another Attraction that got a Blast to the Past audio re-do and explain what it was. ;o)

Originally Posted By monorailblue Blast to the Past was in the late 1980's, if memory serves, after Circus Fantasy and State Fair. America Sings is not what I'm thinking, and the Attraction featuring "Rhonda" wasn't one where it was a good fit. It was simply a corny attempt to work in 50s music. But it was in Tomorrowland. Oops! I've said too much!
Originally Posted By monorailblue No. This is a "now defunct" Attraction.

It was very corny and the only purpose of the dialogue was to introduce various 50's songs. At one point, the captain got in some sort of scrape and called for help from the crewmember named Mr. Rhonda (I'm sure they gave him some submarine-appropriate title). The "crew" then burst into "Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda!" and so on. Another Tomorrowland Attraction to get a Blast to the Past treatment was the PeopleMover. In the Space Mountain tunnel, various 50's songs played on a continuous loop. Both of these themeing attemps were, admittedly, weak. But a park-wide non-birthday celebration is something we haven't seen done as extensively as Blast to the Past for a long, long time. Ferret--you've been patient; why don't you offer the next quote.
