Beschreibung
In 1979, a young engineer with a one-page resume walked into a Glendale warehouse to help build EPCOT. Nobody had ever tried anything like it before - including them. Journey Into Imagination. is the inside story of the engineers who brought EPCOT's legendary Imagination pavilion to life. Not the executives. The engineers - the people in the equipment rooms at three in the morning, covered in concrete dust, trying to find a phantom stop that kept shutting the ride down for reasons no one could explain. Based upon recorded interview sessions with those who were there, and hundreds of pages of original 1982 memoranda, this is a first-source engineering postmortem that turns into a human story. Along the way, you'll discover: The intern who designed a ride vehicle control system using parts from a Burbank hobby shop. The phantom emergency stop that defied every diagnostic tool they had. The turntable that had to survive X-ray inspection for stress fractures. The memo nobody read - until it was almost too late. The four-word engineering philosophy that became a way of life: "Yeah, they'll do that". >This isn't a press release. It's an engineering story. And the best engineering stories are always about the people.
