Unsourced rumor
editThe following text is unsourced and has been removed per our guidelines at WP:VERIFIABLE:
In 1954, Walt Disney Imagineering contacted Eyerly Aircraft and negotiated with them to build Disneyland's Dumbo ride on a modified Octopus frame. Plans were drawn and models built, but Walt ultimately gave the job to the fledgling Arrow Development company.
One story, told by Dave Bradley of amusement ride company Bradley and Kaye, claims that Lee Eyerly's son, Jack, flew himself to Burbank one day in August 1954 to offer Disney a new ride with three interlocking turntables. Although his designers were fascinated by the working model, Walt was in a bad mood that day and dismissed the mechanism. Arrow eventually built that ride, too; Disney called it the Mad Tea Party.
I have searched for a reliable source for these statements but have been unable to find any -- only Wikipedia mirrors and references back to this article. I have removed the text from the article until it can be verified by a good reference. — CactusWriter (talk) 21:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
