Little do they know, there is an entirely different story to Hercules outside of Disney.

Due to the time gap, it is plain to see that many aspects in the myth of Hercules may be changed, while some tales remain the same.
Disneyland was the first amusement park of its type, and forever had a great impact on the world and American culture. The idea of having a new, safe and kid friendly environment got Walt excited.
