This just in from Todd James Pierce:

[Five years after Disneyland opened, Walt explored building a series of micro parks across the country, parks roughly three to four acres in size and filled with Fantasyland-style attractions for kids. The story of these never-built micro parks, known inside the company as Project Satellite, on the DHI Podcast.

Parks require rides or attractions, and Disney had bought a 30% stake in Arrow in 1960. The strategy of Walt and Roy at the time was strategic synergy. What better way to fuse all of the Disney assets, than small replicable parks. At least in theory. Makes sense that they would put some minds on the reject to investigate no develop the business case. Nice story. Excellent research.

Auto spell correct makes writers sound like idiots - lol. Last few sentences in previous comment should read: "Makes sense that they would put some minds on the project to investigate and develop the business case. Nice story. Excellent research.
