Explore Disney Attractions Like Never Before in BEHIND THE ATTRACTION Next Month
Everyone I talk to who has been to a Disney Park absolutely loves it. They love to talk about the attractions they’ve been on and tell me all the things I need to do when I go. Next month, fans will be able to get a behind-the-scenes look at 10 different Disney Park attractions in the new series Behind the Attraction. The series will feature interviews with Walt Disney, Imagineers, and more as they explore how Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Star Tours, and more all came to be. The series will be narrated by Paget Brewster.
Including rare interviews with Walt Disney, each episode also features exclusive interviews with Disney Legends and dozens of past and present Imagineers, including Bob Weis, Jeanette Lomboy, Kim Irvine, Scott Trowbridge, Tom Fitzgerald, Scot Drake, Carmen Smith, Joe Rohde, and others who divulge insider secrets of the parks and how iconic Disney attractions were brought to life. Revealed for the first time are the wild stories of how the Haunted Mansion was filled with 999 happy haunts, how the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ transformed into Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! (while defying gravity in the process) and why Space Mountain took so long to launch.
Talking about the series, executive producer and director Brian Volk-Weiss said:
Getting to work with Disney AND Seven Bucks has not only been the honor of my career, it was also a LOT of fun, which I hope people will feel when they watch the show!
