This is about the theme park term. For its slang variations, see weenie, wiener or weiner.

A wienie, also called a visual magnet, is a term used by Walt Disney Imagineering for a visual element in a theme park which can be seen from a distance and which serves to draw a guest further in.

The term, introduced to Disney by Walt Disney himself, originates from the cliché that a carrot (or other food) held in front of a horse makes the horse walk forward. In the Disneyland park, the primary wienie is Sleeping Beauty Castle. People that arrive at that point will then see other Wienies like the Tomorrowland rocketship or Frontierland’s Mark Twain, which will in turn guide them towards further attractions.

This song was originally recorded by Emmylou Harris in 1975 with Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Neil Young providing harmony, and it was later covered by Tara MacLean in 1998. In 2002, the trio Selah recorded it for their Christmas album “Rose of Bethlehem”; pop-punk band Duvall covered it for their 2004 album “O Holy Night.”
