Imagineering Engineering: Terrifying Towers & Floating Mountains
Did you ever want to sit down with an Imagineer and learn how Disney creates such immersive environments?
Me too!
But spare Imagineers are hard to come by – they’re pretty busy.
However, the guys over at the Art of Engineering have two Disney videos up on YouTube: “Tower of Terror” & “Floating Mountains.”
Floating Mountains: The Engineering Behind Disney’s Floating Mountains of Pandora
A look at the design and construction of Disney’s floating mountains located within Pandora – The World of Avatar.
How Disney’s Tower of Terror Works
A look at the engineering behind Disney’s iconic Tower of Terror attraction.
I love these videos, not only because they speak to the engineering behind the “Tower of Terror” and “Pandora: The World of Avatar,” but also because they describe some of the processes and patterns Disney re-uses around its theme parks.
SO, as we watch the video about the Tower of Terror, we are learning about The Haunted Mansion; while we learn about Pandora, we understand better about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
