Peevy's Polar Pipeline is a quick service stand in the Echo Lake section of Disney's Hollywood Studios.

History

Peevy's Polar Pipeline replaced the Lakeside Newsstand in (we believe) 1996 (although other websites state the year as 1991) [1]) . The quick service stand gets its name and themeing from the 1991 Disney movie "The Rocketeer". In the film, The Rocketeer's sidekick is inventor/scientiest A. "Peevy" Peabody. Peeve's Polar Pipeline this themed to be the inventor's.

Since it opened, Peevy's Polar Pipeline has sold frozen "Coca-Cola Concoctions". In recent years the stand has been operational on a seasonal basis.

Fun Facts and Trivia

  • The Rocketeer's helmet and jet pack can be found near the beverage dispenser in Peevy's Polar Pipeline.
  • Peevy's blueprints for the rocket back can also be found within the stand [2].
  • A newspaper from 1939 can be found within the stand. A prop from the film, the front page features a headline and photo of the Rocketeer [3].
  • The other headline on the newspaper is a story about Congress admitting Alaska to the Union [3].
  • Also found within the dining location is a banner that reads "Bigelow's Air Circus". Scheduled to begin on the same day that the Rocketeer had his first flight, the circus is where the film's main character dons his Rocketeer costume and saves a pilot in clown makeup [3]
