In 1958, while
vacationing in Cologne,
Germany, Walt Disney
discovered a mode of
transportation that
travelled above on a
steal beam: the monorail
system. Walt immediately
knew that he had to have
a monorail in his
newly-built theme park,
Disneyland, so along
with several engineers
and imagineers, the
smooth travelling
Monorail was built in
1959 and journeyed
through Fantasyland and
Tomorrowland.
Theme Parkology is very
proud to bring you a
fantastic documentary of
the Monorail with
another spectacular
interview with Disney
legend and imagineer,
Bob Gurr, who talks
about designing the
Monorail and the
kidnapping of
vice-president, Richard
Nixon, aboard the
Highway in the Sky.
