Product Description
The third in a series of pocket-sized paperbacks answers the question, "What would it be like to walk through Disney's Animal Kingdom Park with an Imagineer by your side?"
The Imagineering Field Guide to Disney's Animal Kingdom provides that experience: pointing out details and telling stories, back stories, and Imagineering insights never before heard, condensed into a portable, easily-referenced park guide. You'll never spend time at Walt Disney World the same way again.
Each spread contains fascinating textual information and related images (drawings, photos, graphics) such as:
Set-up, backgrounds, and origins of each park/land/mini-land
Concept art to compare to the finished show
Timeline information (opening dates, previous shows in the same venue, alterations and updates)
- Photography of the details and big pictures being discussed
Special props, design sources, artistic inspirations, nomenclature gags
Reader ReviewsIf you've been to the Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World, then you've seen the rides and attractions. And, if you're like me, you're curious about how the Disney Imagineers actually created these attractions, then this is a book you want. It doesn't reveal everything, but it does give the inquisitive mind a bit of substance to digest, beyond the usual Disney fluff and sales hype. As much as can be squeezed into any field guide, Disney's Imagineering Field Guide to Disney's Animal Kingdom gives you a working knowledge of "how'd they do that?" It's invaluable for the trivia minded as well. Most of us know that the Tree of Life has an oil derek as it's internal skeleton, but do you know how they buiult Expeditin Everest?
