My Christmas present from my brother. A spot on gift for me. I collect books about Disney Parks, and I adore the vintage attraction posters, especially the retro futuristic style seen in posters for Epcot and Tomorrowland. Thank you, Michael!
If there's a certain favourite attraction you would like me to check for the poster of, give me a poke on Twitter @rudedoodle
I'm a Disney Park geek. Some people get really into the animation and films, I got obsessed with the aesthetics, secret psychological tricks & magic behind the design of the theme parks.
I have vintage books on the design and building of the parks, and have spent hours scouring behind-the-scenes Disney park websites. One of my favourite Disneyland 'easter eggs' is that inside one of their original, classic rides 'The Matterhorn', there is a little basketball court for tea breaking Cast Members (Disney's title for staff). I thought I'd share it with you today.
As heard on BBC Radio 6's Lauren Laverne Show.
