Morning everyone! Here is a brief recap of the past threads for my new followers! This way to know how set designers ensure show building stay in the dark with light traps : https://t.co/eROdrzXLq3

Do not figure a sci-fi device, the light trap is an architectural trick. Let's see how it works with Space Mountain (DLP) queue line! 1/5

Imagineers, convinced by the ride, ordered a permanent copy to Intamin (which had me questionning a lot about copyright on attraction layouts🤔) before themeing it with their world-class expertise. The rest is history, at Tokyo or Paris 2/2

Ever heard of the Pinfari TL-59 ("The Loop" - 59 meters)? Probably not. Have you ever ridden one of its clone? Probably! This compact and diverse layout created for fun fairs has a good mix of straight lines, drops, helix and a vertical loop! 1/2

@DLPoutpost I couldn't have said it better :)

The marketting picture on the left was realised thanks to an actual vehicle shell of Space Mountain. However, a slight modification was made right before opening to make it suitable... Can you see it?

Breakrooms discussions 2020. I'm not even sorry. 😄

@RichyDisney You're welcome! Enjoy :)

Before The Imagineering Story, we had documentaries from Travel Channel, like "Disney's Imagineers". It was really cool and explained the design & production of some of our favorite rides. This extract deals with Splash Mountain rockwork production still amazes me!

[Irving S-A (EN) @Imagineeirving]

I think this documentary led a lot of people into a career in the theme park business! Even today, it's still amazing!

If you've never seen it, jump 25years ago and watch "Shoot for the Moon" to learn about the story of the Disney Imagineers in the last 3 months before the opening of Space Mountain - From the Earth to the Moon! https://t.co/2705F9P7Di

And just for fun : it wasn't peeling in DCA!

[Irving S-A (EN) @Imagineeirving]

Take two minutes and think about it : someone imagined, another has painted, and a third one validated this detail of a peeling wallpaper on the ToT facade... How many guests noticed it? 😄 (picture https://t.co/E5GZ42Yb17)

[Irving S-A (EN) @Imagineeirving]

Everything is clear, time to welcome the guest! They can also be the source of ride interruptions, but that is another story! Thanks for reading me! 16/16

Part 2! Where were we? The ride control ? Well :
The operator's console is the user side of the attraction programm called the Ride Control. It guarantees everything is going on safely. Usually, we use 3 computers processing the same operations, receiving infos from sensors 1/16

The train has came back, it's time to test the show! Is the spider free from an obvious default? (missing leg) ❌, the show light is working ❌ and the worklights are off ❌. It happens to the best of us... 15/16
