Ananta

**Ananta** is a character from the *Maharajah Jungle Trek*.

## History

Ananta was an asian man prior to or during the early 16th century. Ananta was attracted to the lush wildlife of a region which he subsequently declared the Kingdom of Anandapur. In his actions of imperialism, Ananta greatly deforested Anandapur and hunted its wildlife with much of its wildlife fleeing his wrath.

Ananta's crimes lead to him having a vision in-which the heavens tormented him for his injustices. Following this, Ananta changed his ways and attempted to begin an early-history conservationist. While Ananta aimed to make peace with nature, Ananta's royal family did not hold the same sentiments. When Ananta died, he was buried in a sarcophagus in the *Royal Forest of Anandapur* outside the township of Anandapur.

Carolyn Crosson

**Carolyn Crosson** is a character from the *Twilight Zone Tower of Terror*.

## History

Carolyn Crosson was a Hollywood starlet (likely a singer or actress) during the golden age of Hollywood. She was of an apparent relation to a man named Gilbert London with the two presumably having been romantically involved. In 1939 she and Gilbert attended a halloween party at the esteemed Hollywood Tower Hotel of Los Angeles where she would board an elevator to the hotel's Tip Top Club with four other people.

On the way up to the 13th floor, paranormal lightning struck the hotel's elevator shafts and resulted in them free falling and crashing while those inside were spirited away. Following this event, Carolyn and her compatriots became ghosts bound to the hotel and the 5th dimension from whence the lightning came.

### Alternate-versions

#### Tower of Terror (film)

In this film, Carolyn was a singer who frequently worked under the stage-name of Claire Poulet. She was also the wife of Gilbert London and was hired to work as a singer at the Tip Top Club for the Halloween of 1939. By the end of the film her soul is freed and she finally gets to perform in the club.

## Appearances and allusions

### Sunset Boulevard

Carolyn's luggage was placed under a Route 66 sign on Sunset Boulevard in 2013. Her luggage was located next to that belonging to Gilbert.

### Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Carolyn is one of the antagonists in this attraction, being one of the ghosts terrorizing guests following the hotel's 1994 reopening. She appears before her death in the pre-show *Twilight Zone* video of the attraction and later as a ghost in the halls of the hotel. Her ghost once again appears at the end, waving to guests as they exit the Twilight Zone.

## Trivia

* In the film Tower of Terror Carolyn was hired to perform at the Tip Top Club for the Halloween of 1939 however in cannon this was a job reserved for the Silver Lake Sisters. Advertisements for the hotel's Halloween party also make no mention of Carolyn Crosson or, "Claire Poulet" making this element likely not-cannon to Disney Parks continuity.

Adventureland Treehouse

**Adventureland Treehouse** is a location and attraction in Disneyland's Adventureland. While featuring the tagline "Inspired by Walt Disney's *Swiss Family Robinson*" and restores certain elements of the original Swiss Family Treehouse, the attraction's story revolves around a new unrelated family. The attraction opened on November 10, 2023, replacing the previous Tarzan's Treehouse, which was themed after the 1999 animated film *Tarzan*.

## History

### Background

The attraction features a large artificial tree with a wooden treehouse built by a family of explorers in 1937. The treehouse has several rooms that reflect the family's interests and hobbies, such as music, nature, astronomy, and art. Guests can climb up the stone stairway and explore the treehouse at their own pace while enjoying the views of Adventureland and the sounds of the jungle. The treehouse also has a waterwheel and a pulley system that provide water and energy for the family's inventions and gadgets.

The Adventureland Treehouse pays tribute to the original Swiss Family Treehouse that Walt Disney and his Imagineers built in 1962 in honor of the movie *Swiss Family Robinson*. The original attraction was rethemed to Tarzan's Treehouse in 1999 but restored to its original theme in 2023 with a new story and updated details. The new Adventureland Treehouse introduces a new family of explorers who have fashioned an oasis among the trees using objects found around them. They are proud of what they have accomplished and eager to share their way of life with visitors from around the world.

One of the rooms is the Daughter's Observatory, where the daughter has began studying astronomy. The daughter's room features several references to the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, including a banner featuring the S.E.A's logo and a letter from S.E.A Astronomer Aya Kouame-Beauciel to the daughter, who had provided the daughter with powerful telescope lenses. There are also several S.E.A books including:

* "Society of Explorers and Adventurers Guide For Prospective Members"
* "The Society of Explorers and Adventurers 1936 Official By-Laws"
* "Who's Who Among The Society of Explorers and Adventurers: A Compendium of Membership Vol. IV 1850-1925"

Doctor Astorga

**Doctor Astorga** is a character created for the film *Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade* (1989).

## History

As explicit cannon references to Dr. Astorga are rare, his background is of dubious continuity.

### Background

Dr. Astorga was a Mexican archaeologist who operated in the 1930s. In 1939, he teamed up with fellow archaeologist Indiana Jones to track down an Aztec sun god statue from bandits in the village of Santiago Rivas, Mexico. The two recovered the statue in a cantina before being chased aboard a train but ultimately evading the bandits. The statue was subsequently left for Astorga to put in a museum albeit with a scratch on it left by the fight.

### Development history

Doctor Astorga was created for the third Indiana Jones film but ultimately cut from the script. An alternate opening to the film would have shown Jones and Astorga recovering the Aztec gold statue. Ultimately this opening was opted out for a prequel sequence and the film's setting was made 1938 instead of 1939.

Fire Mountain

**Fire Mountain** was an attraction planned for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom which would have been interconnected with the lore of *Atlantis: The Lost Empire* and conceptual connections to 20,000 Leagues under the sea.

The new story was that Fire Mountain would be a mountain investigated by *Whitmore Industries* and its owner Preston Whitmore, investigating a connection between the mountain and Atlantis in 1916 (two years after the film).

The attraction was cancelled in the early 2000s due to the tourism trade going down following 9/11 and for the underperformance of Atlantis: The Lost Empire in theatres.

Beatrice Rose Endicott

**Beatrice Rose Endicott** is the head of the New York City Preservation Society featured in Tokyo DisneySea's Tower of Terror.

## History

Born in 1883, Beatrice Rose Endicott was the seventh daughter of business mogul Cornelius Endicott III, owner of the U.S. Steamship Company which own various ships including S.S. Columbia. Growing up, she idolized the adventurous exploits of Harrison Hightower III, a business rival and her father's self-declared enemy.

On New Year's Eve, 1899, Hightower was cursed by an African cursed idol Shiriki Utundu. The effects of the curse and the elevator crash caused a noticeable conflagration outside the hotel that Endicott wtinessed from her bedroom window. At that time, she wasn't at the scene of the accident (the Endicott family not being invited to the high-society party at the hotel), so she didn't believe the curse of Shiriki Utundu.

Years passed by, with Hotel Hightower closed down and derelict. In 1908, after a chance encounter with a like-minded man named Archie in Central Park, Endicott decided to save Hotel Hightower as a precious cultural property of New York City and a tribute to Hightower's legacy. She established the New York City Preservation Society and started drumming up support to reopen, restore and hold tours of the Hotel Hightower.

However, Manfred Strang, a reporter for the New York Globe-Telegraph, was against that idea, saying that the hotel was cursed. In 1912, an article published in the paper by Strang that called for the hotel's demolition caught Endicott's ire. By July 20th of that year, the Society had been granted a city charter of the Hotel Hightower, with Endicott herself presiding over the press conference.

Since Endicott didn't believe in curses, Endicott invited Strang to explore the Hotel Hightower with her for the first time. At they explored, they heard various mysterious voices and Strang realized that one voice was Hightower's. He took Endicott's hand and they narrowly escaped the hotel. However, despite Strang's expectations, Endicott never changed her mind to stop the tours at the Hotel Hightower.

During the construction of the S.S. Columbia from 1909 to 1912, Beatrice assisted her father with the interior design of the ship's facilities and would be the one to christen the ship on its test launch in 1911.

## History

The New Year's Eve of 1937 held eleventh annual Balderdash Cup competition in the Adventurers Club on Pleasure Island in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Within the competition, the six-year winning-streak of club-member Hathaway Browne was broken by club newcomer Emil Bleehall.

On the same night, the Adventurers Club held an Open House/New Membership Drive in-which new potential members and onlookers would be let into the otherwise exclusive club. For this cause, members Samantha Sterling and Fletcher Hodges would throw a welcome party in the library to get the open house off to a good start. To prevent the club from losing its lease, members Otis T. Wren and Pamelia Perkins lead a version of their weekly old-timey radio broadcast "Tales of the Adventurers Club", in which half of the cast is missing and must be replaced by audience members; they did this to raise a needed $2000 dollars.

Big Thunder Island

**Big Thunder Island** is a part of the Big Thunder Mountain Range.

## History

Big Thunder Island is an island found in the Big Thunder Mountain region of Arizona's Monument Valley. It is an island found in what became known as the Rivers of the Far West and was revered by the Indigenous shoshone peoples as being home to the legendary Spirit of Big Thunder.

In 1849, pioneer Henry Ravenswood discovered gold within Big Thunder and established the Big Thunder Mining Company to harvest it, chasing out the Shoshone peoples to do so. The mining-town of Thunder Mesa was subsequently formed around the mining-company with many mines, outposts, stations and railroads being built on the island.

In 1860, the Spirit of Big Thunder caused a massive earthquake which killed Henry Ravenswood and sunk a portion of Thunder Mesa into the haunted Phantom Canyon. For decades to come, Big Thunder Island would be considered a cursed and haunted place as its railroads ran out of control with many settlers still attempting to extort gold in a futile vain.
