A: Disney had nothing do so with Heritage Square, but several former Disney employees (including early Disneyland vice president C. V. Wood) were involved in its inception. It was originally created as an amusement park called Magic Mountain in 1959, but it closed due to financial difficulties the following year. A decade later, the park was reborn and opened as Heritage Square. The Celebrity Sports Center was indeed a Disney facility. It was opened in 1960, having been built by a group of celebrity investors that included Walt Disney and Art Linkletter, but in 1962 it was purchased from the original investors by Walt Disney Productions.  Disney kept the Center until 1979, when it was sold. It had been used by Disney to train personnel who would be involved in similar occupations at Walt Disney World. The Center was demolished in 1995, and a Home Depot store is now on the site.
