Modern Marvels
Walt Disney World.
Tune In:Thursday, March 23 @ 8am ET/PT
Thursday, March 23 @ 2pm ET/PT

Journey underground and backstage at the technological marvel that is Walt Disney World. Enter a make-believe world spanning some 27,000 acres, brought to life by cutting-edge technology. What was once Florida swampland now boasts the world's largest theme park. The ride technology ranges from space-age centrifuges to enhanced motion vehicles powered by 3,000 PSI of hydraulic pressure. And hundreds of audio animatronics brought to life through the power of pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical systems. Walt Disney World is made up of four separate theme parks, each with its own innovations: the 107-acre Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. The four parks are all part of a megaplex of a resort. Twice the size of Manhattan, it was the final vision and crowning achievement of a man who spent more than 40 years pushing the limits of technology to create entertainment magic: Walt Disney.

I'm guessing this is a re-run of the show that was on a month or so ago. I missed that one, only caught the last few minutes. However, I'm gonna head home and set the DVR to record it on the 23rd!

Thanks for the headsup!

It was on Sunday night, but I was so tired I couldn't stay awake. I'm glad it's going to be on again. I really wanted to see it.

Hi: We watched the show the other night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The imagineer in this issue of Vacation Magic is in the show as well for the segment on Expedition Everest. Those pictures of the older Disneyland monorail really brought some memories back as well. Enjoy!

This was a great show, I was shocked at all that I learned. I missed the beginning, i'm glad to hear that it is on again.

I learned a lot from the show and found it entertaining. It was interesting to match the faces to the names of the imagineers that I've read about in Jim Hill's articles. However, I was disappointed that it had such a propagandistic feel; no hard questions were asked. For example, after describing the fascinating process for the "Tower of Terror" ride mechanism, it would have been interesting to follow-up to see why that was gutted when that ride was cloned in California and, shortly, Tokyo. Still, worth watching for what it was.
