@lowdown-plus-up.bsky.socialThe Autopia cars introduced at Disneyland in 2000 were styled after Chevron commercial characters designed by Aardman Animations — the studio behind Wallace and Gromit. Tomorrowland's vision of the future was, quietly, a British claymation project. #ThemeParkHistory

@lowdown-plus-up.bsky.socialDisneyland's Jungle Cruise opened in 1955 with almost no vegetation — the plants hadn't had time to grow. Walt's fix: have Bill Evans label all the tiny saplings with long Latin names so the sparse greenery looked instructional. Turn the liability into a feature. #ThemeParkHistory
@lowdown-plus-up.bsky.socialBob Gurr built the King Kong animatronic so that any mechanical failure would cause the figure to stand upright and hold position. A machine engineered to fail in the safest possible direction. #ThemeParkHistory
@lowdown-plus-up.bsky.socialBob Gurr built the King Kong Encounter's 10-foot animatronic head with 29 computer-controlled movements. He was so proud of it that he rode inside the head as it cycled through its motions — sometimes with eight coworkers. Sometimes while the show was open. #ThemeParkHistory
