    5.0 out of 5 stars The Disney Mountains - Imagineering at its peak
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2007

    Being in the theme park design business, we at Denny Magic Studios always pay attention to anything that Disney releases, especially "tell all" books which help with our ongoing education regarding the design of theme park rides, and attractions. This book is another fine example of that, as it provides additional insight into how Disney creates and designs. We think that this is a good choice if you are looking to further your education with regards to theme park design. We also think that the general population who may only be Disney fans, will certainly appreciate reading about how these wonderful designs (rides & attractions) came about.

    Lastly! Bravo to the author... Jason Surrell; who has a number of excellent books out, all of which we highly recommend.

    This book is another great look behind the scenes at disney imagineering. I found it really interesting to hear about the methods to build what we enjoy today and to see what never came to fruition. Really enjoyed the book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars One big pamphlet.....
    Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2007

    Huge fan of Jason Surrell's books. This one however, was a letdown on several fronts. If you are accustomed to his previous works (Haunted Mansion, Pirates) you are expecting a book FULL of behind the scene photos, images rarely seen by the public, etc. Unfortunately, this book is almost 98% concept art. Take, for example, Splash Mountain. You would think there are a TON of secrets and neat things to share. Instead, all we get are concept art and models. Nothing about the interior of the show building, or what it looks like from behind, or above, for that matter! I've seen photos on the web of Splash Mountain from the back and overhead, and you'd think they would make their way into this type of book. Tokyo's Mt. Prometheus get's virtually NO attention. Just 2 pages of concept art...again, a HUGE mountain full of amazing animatronics and scenes, yet not one photo. Big Thunder Mountain....no photos of interior, or under, or animatronics....and yes, this is why MOST of us buy Jason's books! We are curious! We are nosey! We want all the scoop, as if WE were there helping to design these attractions! This newest book is like owning one big pamphlet to get me to go to a Disney Park. Well, most of us purchasing these books have BEEN to the Disney Parks (repeatedly) and buy these books in hopes of getting MORE than the general public does. Jason's books are always laid out very well, and are top quality. I just am very surprised at the lack of in-depth coverage most of the mountains received. I hope Jason continues his coverage of attractions (dark rides! dark rides!), but I hope he slows down and does a more thorough job, as in his other works.

    If so this one's for you. A book dedicated to how the famous disney theme parks got there so called magic mountains.
    These mountains over the years have been cover stories for disney theme park attractions, namely roller coasters such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain and Everest. All of these mountains have been man made and constructed by disney men and women called imagineers, but look very real. See how the magic is created.
    Great price and arrived on time and in excellent condition.
