MONSTER PARTY SALUTES THE LIFE AND CAREER OF A CREATIVE VISIONARY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD celebrate the legendary artist who designed many of the most iconic attractions at Disneyland Theme Parks. But as you'll soon learn, his work and legacy far surpass the gates of The Magic Kingdom. MONSTER PARTY is proud to present… BOB GURR: TO DISNEYLAND AND BEYOND!!! While pursuing a career in car design, Bob got the call from Disney to create ride cars and animatronics for Disneyland. The Autopia cars! The Matterhorn bobsleds! The Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy! The original Disneyland monorail! The internal mechanisms of Abraham Lincoln for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln! All designed by Bob Gurr! After a long career as an "Imagineer," Bob left Disney to start his own company and bring us the original (and best!) King Kong Encounter for Universal Studios and the sinking pirate ship at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! In this enlightening and inspirational episode, Bob Gurr sheds light on his early life, artistic style, work ethic, philosophy, and remarkable thirst for knowledge. We also get a slew of surprising anecdotes, including a monorail encounter with the past Vice-President of the United States… RICHARD NIXON! Whatever happened to that guy? For this very special "podfrontation," we are happy to welcome two incredible guests! The first is an award-winning producer, director, and writer, who has brought us such films as MEN IN SUITS, LOVECRAFT: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, and the upcoming BOB GURR: LIVING BY DESIGN. Let's hear it for friend of the show... FRANK WOODWARD!  Our second guest is the author of such sought-after books as HOW TO DRAW THE CARS OF TOMORROW, DESIGN: JUST FOR FUN, and BOB GURR: LEGENDARY IMAGINEER: LIFE AND TIMES-DISNEY AND BEYOND, and he's currently the host of the YouTube series, THE BOB GURR SHOW!

Although he had a legendary career as a Disney Imagineer, Bob Gurr originally trained in automotive design. In his youth, Bob was a hot rodder and custom guy. He attended Art Center and was hired by Ford Motor Company before deciding to leave Detroit and make his living back in California, helping to conceive and build an entirely new world of wonders called Disneyland...but he's never lost his love of cars. Recently Bob sat down with Maurice (and Bobby Green of The Old Crow Speed Shop) to look back on his lifelong fascination with cars and design.  Support the Show.Subscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

http://www.attractionchecklist.com -    Attraction audio recorded on . TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we head to Tomorrowland at Disneyland to take a round trip ride on The Monorail! The Disneyland website describes this attraction saying: Ride the historic, high-speed zero-emission transportation system that rockets along a single rail through the Disneyland Resort.  There are no age or height requirements for this attraction. Before we ride, here are five fast facts about Disneyland's Monorail. 1. The Disneyland Monorail opened on June 14, 1959.  When it opened it was called the Disneyland Alweg Monorail System.  Alweg being the German company that helped Walt Disney and Bob Gurr build the attraction. 2. The Disneyland Monorail fleet is currently made up of the Red, Blue and Orange Mark VII trains.  The recording for this episode was made on Monorail Blue.   3.  The Monorail system uses a 600-volt DC power source and as such, it emits no direct exhaust or pollutants into the atmosphere. 4. Each Monorail train can accommodate approximately 120 guests. 5. There is approximately 2.5 miles or 4 kilometers of Monorail track at Disneyland. Let's hop aboard Monorail Blue for a round trip ride to Downtown Disney and back.  John B. deHaas is joining me again today and after we ride, we'll give you our thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphone put them on now as we ride The Monorail at Disneyland!

Imagineer Bob Gurr has always been a man on the move. And for nearly 40 years, he's helped move many a happy Disney theme park guests aboard vehicles and ride conveyances of his own design. As he has often quipped, “If it moves on wheels at Disneyland, I probably designed it.” He developed more than 100 designs for Disneyland from Autopia to the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Bob's authored books, raced cars, flown airplanes, and had a hand in a multitude of automotive designs including cars, trains, trams, monorail trains, the list goes on and on and on. In 1999, Bob was honored with the Themed Entertainment Association's Lifetime Achievement Award (THEA). The Walt Disney Company honored him in 2004 as a Disney Legend, again honored in 2008 with a Disneyland Window on Main Street.

Are you ready to board tour number 116?  I know I am!  Tour Guide Diane Whiting shares her recent experience at Disneyland.  She talks about visiting Walt's Apartment, and a lot about Bob Gurr and the genius that he has been over the years. And, is it possible Diane missed a meal?   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-wallace9/message

In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we move through the invention and evolution of Disney's unique ride vehicle, the Omnimover.

The biggest issue is just all the guests who want to be in the new land and experience all of the changes. It is still a rather small area, so even a modest amount of guests can make the area feel overcrowded. Stroller parking is also an issue, with cast members constantly trying to rearrange them to provide more space. In CenTOONial Park, there is also a lot of wear an tear on the new structures. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ Magic Keyholders can pick up a great piece of artwork celebrating the reopening of Toontown.

More benches and tables have been shoowing up around the parks to allow for guests to have more places to sit and take in the atmosphere. When MiceChat spoke with park executives at the openeing of ToonTown, they said more was on the way, but there were still some delays due to supply chain issues. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ With all of the promotions for Star Wars and the month of Star Wars in May, Hyperspace Mountain is returning. From May 1st through June 4th, guests can experience this version of the popular attraction. - https://www.micechat.com/351579-disneyland-news-avengers-campus-construction-splash-mountain-retheme-toontown/ Weeklyteers who are fans of the tours available at Disneyland will be excited to hear of a new tour that is starting on April 7th.

Hungry Bear Restaurant is now offering this delicious treat for guests to purchase. A three pack is $4.99, the same price as at the Royal Street Veranda, the other location to get this treat! - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/03/23/we-interrupt-your-scrolling-for-an-important-disney-mickey-beignet-update/ One of the most iconic Imagineers is getting their own Funko POP! Bob Gurr, who was instrumental in the creation of the Autopia, Matterhorn, Monorail and so many more Disneyland attractions is being immortalized in plastic as a Funko POP! No release date at this time, but we will keep you updated. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/bob-gurr-funko-pop-figure-revealed-at-wondercon-coming-soon/ Over in Disney California Adventure, Silly Symphony Swings is down for refurbishment.

"How do I become an Imagineer?" Not surprisingly, it's one of the most common questions I'm asked on Imagineer Podcast. As I've continued to interview Walt Disney Imagineers, I've found there's no easy answer to this question, but there are a few pieces of wisdom that can help get you started, whether you want to work with this legendary Disney team as an engineer, artist, architect, programmer, project manager or beyond. In this podcast episode, I compile some of the advice I've received from Imagineers interviewed on the show, including advice from McNair Wilson, Jim Sarno, Bob Gurr, Leslie Iwerks, Russell Brower, Brian Collins, Timmy Britt, Theron Skees, Brian Crosby, Tony Baxter, and more.

Who better to tell us stories about the earliest days of Disneyland than original Disneyland Imagineer, Bob Gurr? Bob Gurr was hired by Walt Disney himself in 1954 to work on the bodies of the Autopia cars for Walt's ambitious theme park, Disneyland. Little did Bob know that he was just beginning a long and storied career with the Disney Company, full of wonderful stories, incredible imaginations, and unrivaled creativity.  

The Disneyland & Walt Disney World Monorail Systems are truly one of the seven wonders of the modern world! Who better to go more in depth into the history of the Disney Monorail Systems than Disney Legend and Imagineer, Bob Gurr? Walt Disney himself asked Bob to design and build the first ever monorail in the Western Hemisphere and Bob's creation premiered in Disneyland in 1959.

Disney+ has been up and running for two months now and everything is broken! Well maybe not everything, but if you have a Samsung Smart TV built in 2016 or earlier, UHD or not, forget your ability to use a convenient little app to access your new favorite platform. Sorry my Parliament Pals, the UK won't be able to scope out a single one of the 7,500 titles until March 2020. The Mandalorian is walking away with the title for raddest show of the year, but let's not forget the Imagineering Story featuring the one and the only, Bob Gurr! But with all this, and Forky from Pixar's Toy Story handing down life lessons, Disney Plus couldn't keep the identity thieves away for long. Allegedly, thousands of user accounts were hacked in the early hours of the platform's release. That said, it was a Washington Post article - meaning sources are scarce and writer credentials unclear. All things considered, Bob Iger's Disney+ is leading to more binge-worthy evenings of show watchin' and dare we say, we're not mad at that! The Kingdom Cable covers everything from the new Solar Farm in Orlando on the Disney World property, to the new Disney Store within a store model - view-able at a Target Store near you. Disneyland Cast Members can have bushy beards, flashy performance eye wear and long, daringly dangly earrings! Scar talks about French Fry rock formations in Tomorrowland, his harrowing escape when the Rocket Rods flung him into the foliage below back in the early turn o' the millennium, and the type of weapon he'd use if he were a ghost hunter. Star Wars Fans! Didn't you all love the Star Wars Christmas Special featuring Life Day? No? Very funny, of course you did. Well, some of the production cats involved in that feat of creative majesty helped with Mandalorian - so you know it's good. Baby Yoda can be found chugging soup and having some laughs, all while a guy that looks like Boba Fett risks it all to slay an angry old galactic rhino. It's no Solo, but we'll use it to tie us over in the meantime. The full Simpson's catalog can be found, albeit with a wonky aspect ratio. Coincidence? Maybe, but I believe the padding and polishing chiefs are working those kinks out as we speak to smooth things over with disgruntled fans everywhere. Big fan of puppets? Miss that Jim Henson touch? Fear not, Earth to Ned is a brand-new Disney Plus original, featuring a Muppet-packed talk show. Did that not push you to open a new tab and start your subscription? Ease on over to this little piece for a 3-hour tour of the platform, sure to get you over the fence just like Ross Perot did with his late-night infomercials: https://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/disney-plus-launch-lineup-three-hour-trailer/ - or - want to just see a complete list of Disney+ Titles? Check it: https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/everything-on-disney-plus-when-it-launches/ Ladies and Gentlemen, we've got you covered! Sit back, relax, pause Waking Sleeping Beauty for two seconds, and give the boys a listen! Don't forget to leave a comment - good, bad, or ugly - we'll take em all! Last time, the backlotboys talked about a new Neil deGrasse Tyson attraction coming to Disneyland in California - give it a listen here: https://anchor.fm/backlotboys/episodes/Is-Neil-deGrasse-Tyson-coming-to-Disneyland-e4cs2m

There might not be a more iconic mode of transportation in the entire world than the Disney Monorail. This week my friend Bob Gurr and I will tell you all about the history of the monorail on the Word of the Week – Monorail. Everything you always wanted to know about the Disney Monorail systems, but were afraid to ask, starring Disney Legend and monorail designer, Bob Gurr.

So, you know how your teachers always used to tell you to save your documents as you went and to back them up? I should've listened to them! This week we recorded a fun podcast all about our Top Ten Disney Villains of all time. Somehow, some way, that show was erased and can not be recovered. My Mac crashed and with it went my latest podcast episode. Instead of the full show, I'm sharing my favorite ever answer from Bob Gurr!

Walt Disney and Bob Gurr had something in common: they were both fascinated by the wonder of human flight from a very early age. This week I'll take a look at the history of flight within the Disney Company on Episode 143: Disney Airlines with Bob Gurr. What was it like flying with Walt Disney during his earliest days with his private planes? Hear the stories straight from the guy who lived them, Bob Gurr!
