When I worked Journey into Imagination, one night when closing the ride, Maintenance had us open all the doors along the ride track-most of which opened outside. When asked why, they said Michael Jackson was coming the next day & he doesn’t like the perfume smell in the Dreamport

The next day we didn’t open until 1:00. MJ was whisked in, rode a few times, and was whisked away in a white VIP van. Guests had no idea.

I was closing shift so I missed the hoopla. But, I did get to escort Joe Perry & Steven Tyler up to the Imageworks. 3 years later I would ride Rock n Rollercoaster with them for a Monday Night Football promo.
