Read the text and summarize the idea in one sentence
Disney is giving fans a sneak peek and letting children discover how rollercoasters and rides are made
and how its special “lands” are created. The video from the creators of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Elsa
and Anna from Frozen plus Snow White and The Lion King shows how the favourite attractions are made
and characters created in a free online course.
“When I was growing up, I would visit the Disney Parks with my family and ask, ‘how did they do that!? I
watched Disney’s behind-the-scenes TV specials and realised that Imagineering was an actual ‘job.’ says
Josh Gorin, a creative development executive at Walt Disney Imagineering.
The videos show children how artists, designers and engineers work together to create Disney theme
parks. The program even lets kids design a theme park of their own.
There are three topic areas:
1. Creating Worlds: which shows how a ‘land’ is made from creating the landscape to the sounds and
smells.
2. Designing Attractions: describes everything that has to be considered when creating a ride, including
a rollercoaster simulator video.
3. Bringing Characters to Life: shows what goes into making the characters that live in the different
Disney lands.
Disney’s Imagineers create everything inside the theme park, including items some guests may not even
notice. For example, a specific colour is used to paint items such as fences and bins so they blend into
the background. There is also a secret lab used to create the menus and restaurants in the park.
