Behind the Pixie Dust CurtainEvery Disney attraction comes with a story, and every story involves a few tricks of the trade that only Imagineers know. Here’s your chance to peek behind the curtain and learn some of the secrets about thirty of the most popular Disney theme park rides.David Mumpower takes you behind-the-scenes at Disneyland and Walt Disney World to reveal the inner workings of your favorite attractions. He’ll explain why Walt Disney chose many of these rides, and he’ll describe the challenges that Imagineers faced in doing the impossible by bringing them to life.Mumpower begins with the story of how a Russian monarch’s love of sledding indirectly led to the invention of the modern roller coaster. Then, he details the physical and thematic obstacles that Imagineers overcame to build iconic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.Of course, some of the best Disney rides are more recent. Mumpower also examines the difficulties in developing cutting-edge attractions like Avatar Flight of Passage, Radiator Springs Racers, and Slinky Dog Dash.Mumpower covers opening day rides still in operation today as well as some of the most recent additions to the vaunted Disney theme park lineup. He discusses all of these ride experiences plus the tricks that make them possible-and magical.If you’ve ever gotten off a Disney ride and wondered how they did it, or if you’re the type of fan who’d rather examine an attraction than experience it, or maybe you’d like to be an Imagineer yourself someday, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
