Imeneyi inali nthawi yapadera pa tsiku lodzaza ndi nthawi ya surreal. Kuzungulira pangodya mu chipinda chokhala ndi mbiri ya Walt Disney Imagery ya mbiri yakale, apo idali: mbiri yotchuka yazaka 1950 ya zojambula za Disneyland yemwe Herb Ryman yemwe amapanga mapangidwe amodzi anamaliza kumapeto kwa mlungu umodzi ndi Walt Disney ataima paphewa pake.
Ichi sichinali kubereka; chinali chidutswa chenichenicho. Zomwe zinkafika pakhomopo (mwina zimachoka kapena zokafika ku chiwonetsero), kujambula kwa Ryman kunakhala pakati pa ena 80,000 zithunzi za Disney Imagineers, monga gulu la zojambula zojambulajambula zomwe zidapangidwa ndi mapangidwe a parks kuti adziwike, kenako adalenge kupyolera mu zaka.
"Zonse zinayamba ndi mbewa," adatero Walt Disney. Potsutsa Mickey, Disneyland ndi lingaliro lenileni la "park park" kwenikweni zinayamba ndi zojambulazo.
Kotero ndichifukwa chiyani ndinakhala ndikujambula zojambula za Ryman ndi kuyendayenda maholo a Imagineering ku Glendale, California? Ena mwa akatswiri a zamalonda omwe amawerenga nkhani zanga ndi Jon Georges, yemwe ndi mkulu wa Blue Sky Development ku Walt Disney Imagineering. Anandiitana kuti ndilankhule ndi gulu la Imagineers monga mbali ya osonkhana a Insight Out.
(Mkazi wanga atadziwa kuti ndikupita ku Imagineers, adandiuza kuti, "Ndiye ndiloleni ndiwongolere." Kodi mukuganiza kuti maganizo amenewa akuoneka bwanji? ndi mtedza, koma Imagineers anali omvera kwambiri, ndipo tinasinthasintha zokhudzana ndi mapaki ndi zosangalatsa zamatsengawo.) Nditangomaliza kulankhulana, anandichitira chithandizo ku malo ambiri omwe ankakhala nawo.
Pamene ndinayamba kuyang'anitsitsa pamasewero, sindinapezeke mwayi wopita. Panali mapulojekiti ambirimbiri ndi Imagineers omwe analowa m'nyumba zawo. Nkhaniyi siyimangidwe mwachidule cha Imagineering; M'malo mwake, ndiwongoganizira chabe zochitika zanga tsiku lomwelo - mapepala a geek, ngati mukufuna.
Zidzakhala Zosangalatsa
Zinadabwitsa kupeza kuti anthu omwe amapanga nyumba zodzikongoletsera komanso zinyumba zapamwamba zimagwira ntchito yawo momveka bwino ndi nyumba zomasulira. Panalibe ngakhale chizindikiro, chodzichepetsa kapena ayi, kusonyeza likulu la Imagineering. Kuyendetsa Msewu wa Flower ku Glendale, sikukanatha kupeza malowa popanda kudziwa adiresi yake. M'kati, komabe, panali zochitika za Imagineering whimsy kulikonse.
M'bwalo kunja kwa abwanamkubwa, mwachitsanzo, gondolas ochokera ku Disneyland's defunct Skyway ankagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati mapepala a pikisitiki. Nyumba yomangamanga ndi zomangamanga, zomwe zimamanga okonza mapulani, alangizi, ndi okonza mapangidwe apamwamba, nthawiyina anali malo otchedwa bowling omwe anali otseguka kwa anthu. Zomwe zidakalipo zakale zomwe zidakalipo, kuphatikizapo chipinda cha msonkhano ndi mapepala a mapulo omwe anawonekera kunja kwa mabwalo apansi ndi malo omwe ankawoneka ngati tebulo.
Chipinda chimodzi mu nyumba yaikulu chimadziwika kuti John Hench Graffiti Gallery. Hench wojambula ndi wotchuka wokongola komanso wotchuka, Hench anagwira ntchito ku kampani ya Disney kwa zaka zopitirira 60 ndipo anali mkulu wa pulezidenti wa Imagineering. Njirayi inali ndi zithunzi zochititsa chidwi, zojambulajambula, mapulogalamu, ndi zithunzi zina zomwe Imagineers ankachita polambira Hench, yemwe anamwalira mu 2004.
(Kuti mumve zambiri pa John Hench ndi Imagineering, ganizirani kuwerenga buku lake lodabwitsa, "Designing Disney: Imagineering ndi Art of the Show.")
Mwinamwake zovuta zedi (ndi geekiest) zomwe ndinali nazo ku Imagineering zinakhala pakati pa ulendo wanga. Wotsogolera wanga anandiperekeza ku studio yojambula ndipo anandisiyira ndekha kwa mphindi zingapo kuti ndiyenderere m'chipinda choyenera ndikuyang'anitsitsa mapepala a anthu otchuka kwambiri ochokera ku Pirates of the Caribbean , otchuka ku Hollywood kuchokera ku The Great Movie Ride ku Disney ku Hollywood Studios, ndi Zojambula zina zambiri za Disney. Mu ngodya imodzi ya chipinda, choyambirira cha White White ndi Zisanu ndi ziwiri Zowoneka zapamwamba zomwe poyamba zidakondwera alendo ku Disneyland atayikidwa mu boma. Zonse zinali zovuta kuti ndikhale ndekha ndi zojambula zonse zowoneka bwino ndi tad zovuta kuona mbiri yakale ya paki.
Kulemba Yesterland
Mbiri ndi yofunikira pa Imagineering. Zakale za mbiri ya zojambulajambula ndi mbali ya mapiko omwe amayang'anira kusungirako mapaki. Palinso laibulale yosungiramo zithunzi yomwe ili ndi zoposa 2 miliyoni zenizeni komanso zojambula zithunzi zokopa komanso zofukufuku zomwe zapangika pakuzikulitsa. Mwachitsanzo, Diane Scoglio, yemwe akuyang'anira malo osungiramo mabuku, anati pali zithunzi zambiri za Africa zomwe zikuchitika ulendo womwe Joe Rohde ndi ena a Imagineers anatenga pamene anali kupanga Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Maofesi a zolemba zolembedwa pamasewerowa anaphatikizanso fayilo ya chidziwitso cha chidwi cha Disney iliyonse ndi zinthu monga zojambula zamitundu, zojambulajambula, ndi zinthu zachilendo monga nthenga za Tiki Bird ndi ubweya kuchokera kwa Yeti amene amakhala mkati mwa coaster Expedition Everest . Panali ngakhale zovala zovala zophimbidwa ndi anthu otchuka - omwe ankadziwa? - kusungidwa pano.
Georges anatchula mtundu wina wa mabala owala kwambiri ndipo ananena kuti iwo anali limodzi mwa mahatchi a mdima omwe anali ndi zotsatira zakuda zakuda. "Ife timaphatikizapo zitsanzo za zomwe utoto ukuwonekera ngati kuwala kwa chirengedwe ndi momwe zikuwonekera pansi pa nyali zakuda," anatero. "Kujambula kofiira kumakhala kutayika kwajambula." Georges adanena kuti malaibulale, makamaka laibulale yosindikiza mabuku, amathandizira Imagineering ndi malo odyetserako Disney kusunga zokopazo. Amadziwika kuti "miyezo yapamwamba yawonetsera," kapena SQS mu Disney-talk. Ndikulingalira kuti ndi nthawi yogulitsira zovala za Richard Nixon ku Hall of Presidents, zimathandiza kukhala ndi mbiri ya kukula kwake ndi mtundu wake.
Kuchokera ku Blue Sky kupita ku Patio Yamdima
Inde, malaibulale samagwiritsidwa ntchito kuti aganizire kokha zapitazo. Amalingaliro amawabweretsera iwo kuti akafufuze malingaliro atsopano ndikuchita kafukufuku pa zokopa zomwe zikupitsidwanso. Georges anagwiritsa ntchito njira ina yowonetsera paulendo kuti amanditenge kupyolera mu chitukuko cha Imagineering. Makomawo anadzazidwa ndi zithunzi, mafanizo, ndi malemba omwe akusonyeza magawowa, kuphatikizapo: blue sky (dipatimenti yomwe Georges amayang'anira), yomwe imapereka mbewu zomwe zimasanduka zokopa; Kukula kwa lingaliro ndi kuthekera, kumene lingaliro limagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati mawonekedwe awiri ndi atatu omwe amachititsa makompyuta; kupanga ndi kupanga, panthaŵi yomwe likulu limavomerezedwa, kuyesa kuyesedwa kumachitika, ndipo kayendedwe kamakonzedwa; kumanga ndi kukhazikitsa, kumene Imagineering onse akulangiza ntchito mogwirizana pogwiritsa ntchito kukopa kwenikweni; kuyesa ndikusintha, kuti tipewe kukopa; chitseko chachikulu; ndi chipani cha patio, pamene gulu lichita chikondwerero cha kumaliza kwa polojekitiyo (mosakayikira imakhala mu Skyway yakale magalimoto).
Sindinapeze zambiri zokhudzana ndi mapaki kapena zokopa zomwe zingakhale muipi ya Disney, koma ndinamva kuti zinthu zazikulu zikutha. Pali lingaliro lokhala ndi chiyembekezo ndi chidziwitso chochokera ku nyumba zatsopano za Glendale. "Disneyland sidzatha konse ... malinga ngati pali malingaliro otsala padziko," ndi Walt-wotchuka wina wotchuka. Mwamwayi, zikuwoneka kuti muli ndi malingaliro ochuluka oti ayende mozungulira pakati pa Aganizira za lero.
Mwa njira, inunso mukhoza tsopano kupita ku Walt Disney Imagineering. Adventures ndi Disney, kampani yowonetsera alendo, ikuyimira pa ulendo wake wa Hollywood ndi Disney Resort .
