The rumor that at #Disneyland the #Matterhorn will be demolished and rebuilt is unlikely to happen. Assuming that occurred it could amount to a $800 million+ project with the ride and surrounding development.

Visiting one of #DCA last existing buildings with @LenTestaOpening and @JimHillMedia. Originally Santa Rosa Seed & Supply the building was saved & moved as part of DCA 2.0. Likely space will become beer retail. More on YouTube.com/jimhshull

When #SplashMountain opened guests could view the image of their drop on these screens. The camera capturing the image, the screens and the in between equipment required was no small challenge to the Imagineers.

Smart Project Management always uses building materials that the local contractors know how to build with. Paris Tower of Terror is concrete vs Florida which is steel is an example. The use of material in DAW wasn’t a moment of revelation.

The trick of #Aquatopia was that guests believed that the sea wall separated them from the ocean. It separated them from roads and the monorail. More on YouTube.com/jimhshull

#TokyoDisneysea features a view inside a theme park that faces out creating an environment where a theme park seemingly extends out into the ocean. #TDS is a master class in theme park design.

#Aquatopia closed and this waterfront may be next for future attractions at #TokyoDisneysea. Rides are good but this environment can’t be replaced (& the volcano viewed from this angle will no longer make sense.

What is the acceptable failure rate of a Kuka pick up in factories? What is the rate acceptable of Disney guests on the ride at #AvengersCampus.

Marketing Toy Story 5 tie in aside, this is a Bonnie toy way too small for the scale of Andy’s Backyard. When I designed #ToyStoryLand I started with Andy’s shoe print and scaled every toy to that. More on YouTube.com/jimhshull
