Walt Disneys Marvelous Mechanized Magic Kingdom
This September, Ape Pen Publishing and the 1313 Club will host an event celebrating the incredible mechanical story of Disneylandbeginning with simple motorized figures and leading to the development of Audio-Animatronics. Unique in the world of themed entertainment for its design and production of hundreds of mechanical devices for the revolutionary theme park, Disneys creative efforts led from simple animated humans and animals to ride systems, vehicles, special effects, and some of todays most striking lifelike animatronic characters. The event will illustrate Disneys incredible mechanical achievements by spotlighting attractions, characters, and memorable devices created by the Disney Studios and, later, the MAPO arm of WED Imagineering. Using rare images, video, and authentic props and animatronics, guests will gain insight into the fascinating MAPO division as never before. Disney Legends Bob Gurr, Alice Davis, Blaine Gibson, Rolly Crump, and Xavier Atencio, (plus many more!) will shed light on this little known but highly intriguing aspect of Disney historyplus performances by Disneyland entertainers and the West-coast premiere of the worlds most advanced animatronic figure.
This once-in-a-lifetime evening will honor Disneyland as one of the worlds great storytelling environments, with special emphasis on its technological wonders. Combining history, entertainment, and lots of surprises, its an event not to be missed by any Disneyland Fan. Tickets are on sale now.
