I found a You Tube video part of which was filmed on the Mystery Island ride at POP. Interestingly enough, it was from a Lawrence Welk TV show that was shot at the ballroom next to POP in 1959. This features the exotic tune "Yellow Bird" (which a cocktail was named for - you can get it still at Tiki Ti). Lawrence Welk versions of exotica are not very exotic, but it was filmed on Mystery Island at POP. The rest of the video turns into an extended commerical, but it is funny to watch. |
