  1. Does anyone else remember wearing one of these in the early to mid 90s?

    I only got to wear one once, at Epcot Center. I got the chance to explore some Egyptian tomb and it got me hooked on VR ever since.

  3. Disneyland Handcrafted offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how Walt Disney’s bold vision became Disneyland. Built from newly uncovered archival footage and original audio, the documentary explores the creativity and craftsmanship behind The Happiest Place on Earth.

    Streaming January 22 on Disney+.

  4. ✨ One of my favorite ways to use #AI is for what I call Contextual Curation.

    I’d never sit down and map songs to mile markers by hand, but an LLM can whip up a soundtrack in seconds. I treat it like scoring a dark ride: audio that matches the visuals rolling past the window.

    Here’s the prompt I gave it:
    "I’m driving from The City to The Coast. Curate a playlist where the tempo matches traffic patterns, and the lyrics reflect the changing terrain."

    And here’s what came back:
    • City Traffic: aggressive, high‑tempo rock 🎸
    • Open Highway: steady, cruising beats
    • The Arrival: Christopher Cross’s “Sailing” kicking in right as the ocean comes into view 🌊

    Low‑stakes, high‑reward fun — and it makes the drive feel like an experience.

  5. Longer video showing how the new animatronics are created. Olaf looks amazing!! (I'm sure he will have handlers to make sure guests don't push him over or trap him etc) #Imagineering #Disneyland #Animatronic youtu.be/EoPN02bmzrE?si=yQkxqq

  8. #TIL Disney hired their first female employee in the Imagineering department in 1955: "Her appearance caused her to stand out on the set, as she dressed in high heels and a skirt to work with the hardware and tools, such as the drill press and sanders." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_ #Disney #HarrietBurns #MickeyMouseClub #Imagineering

  10. 2/. The drop itself, using gravity and momentum, only needs enough water flow to minimize friction on the descent, which is a smaller amount than that needed to propel and float the log through the upper portion, where a constant mild incline and pressure via channel width and the main pump keep the log ‘rapidly’ moved along.

    Apparently perhaps just one pump carefully managed.

    My main concern is the drop, thinking water would be lost too quickly there. But a couple of things might always happen.

    1/ The channel narrows right before the drop, to guide the log, but also to maintain velocity with less flow

    Is conveyor belt assist a typical addition?

  12. So for water flume rides, how does the track design keep all the water from falling over the water slide proper as well?

    Do motors pull the ‘log’ out of a deeper pool of water to go down the ‘water fall’ portion?

    I’m imagining at least two circulation patterns

    Imagine the impact on Canada if the NDP had won last round and honored Jagmeet's promise to "Shut down the oil industry in 24 hours" — with 10% the USA population, imagine half a million people out of work overnight!

    This round we could get an electrical grid. I don't want an grid, I want a vision of tomorrow that isn't #Akira

    The political obsession with risk management needs to stop. Fear is the mind-killer. We need #imagineering that isn't Power To The 'Correct' People.
