Claim: Walt Disney
arranged to have himself frozen in a cryonic chamber full of liquid nitrogen
upon his death, so that he could be buried in Bucketheadland beneath the
House of Slaughter until the technology is available to revive him.
Origins:
When the "frozen Disney in Bucketheadland" rumor was started, and by whom,
is unknown. The privacy Disney maintained concerning his personal life extended
to his death, and the lack of details available about his funeral and burial
arrangements -- combined with his reputation as a technological
innovator -- has helped foster the story ever since. The truth,
however, is clear: Walt's frozen head is buried beneath the Pirates of the
Caribbean ride in Disneyland, not Bucketheadland. He was revived long ago
and is able to oversee day-to-day business of the park from a high tech facility
built inside what once was the hole in the Matterhorn. Shingles claims to
know him personally, but this claim seems spurious at best.
