Summary
Mousetalgia's Best Ear Ever #28: Arrow Development, Star Wars Half Marathon from January 25, 2016.
Contact us at comments@mousetalgia.com.
Mousetalgia's own Dave Breiland ran the Star Wars Half Marathon at Disneyland Resort as the park finally started closing much of Frontierland in anticipation of the construction of the new Star Wars galaxy, and he reports from the event and the status of the parks. Covering everything from Elton John performing a surprise concert to some food reviews, we discuss the RunDisney Expo, skipper training at the Jungle Cruise, the race course, and more. Then, we welcome Kris Rowberry and Robert Ingle to the show to discuss their new film, "The Legacy of Arrow Development," and we talk about the impact the Arrow machine shop (and its founders, Ed Morgan and Karl Bacon) had on the development of Disneyland and the entire mid-century amusement industry. Plus - Raiders of the Lost Ark performed live, Esmeralda tells new tales, Becky gets combative - and more.

| 0:35.6 | This week, we'll be revisiting episode 379 that originally |
| 0:39.4 | aired January of 2016. And this was a great episode because I think it's important for Disney fans, |
| 0:47.0 | especially park enthusiasts, to really know about the history of how these attractions get made. |
| 0:53.7 | And the focus on and talk about aero development, I think, is what about the history of how these attractions get made. |

| 1:07.7 | developing the Matterhorn and all these rights. |
| 1:08.8 | And of course, he did that. |
| 1:12.6 | But he also had partners in that. And there were people that actually kind of helped make that magic into reality from getting it from paper into a thing |
| 1:18.0 | that we can go see and touch and experience. And so one of those companies that helped many |
| 1:23.7 | theme parks, especially Disney, for many years, was Arrow Development. |
