But he was also a farsighted futurist, a transportation buff with practical roots in the past-- and visionary sights set on the future. In imagining Disneyland, Walt saw it not only as a destination for diversion and entertainment, but also as a means of presenting practical demonstrations of new ideas and new technology with real-world applications. In \"The Disney monorail: imagineering a highway in the sky\", a reader will discover the parallel stories of the development of a new form of transportation and the evolution of Walt's prophetic creative mind, which together resulted in the first daily operating monorail in the Western Hemisphere. Since June 1959, this mid-century modern marvel has captured the hearts and imaginations of theme park and Disney fans everywhere; it has inspired, as Walt hoped, the creation of working monorails in practical transit applications in varied locations all around the world. \"The Disney monorail\" is a lavish visual celebration of one of Disney's most impactful and beloved creations. Through a lively and succinct narrative and a stunning collection of unique historical photographs and rare concept and development art-- much of it never before published-- readers will be transported into a future where yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's realities!","brand":"Kurtti, Jeff,Wolski, Paul,Hunt, Vanessa","offers":[{"title":"Very Good - First Edition","offer_id":54425020006683,"sku":"mon0000805651","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/4004\/3291\/files\/17171113482716.jpg?v=1793046599","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.com\/products\/the-disney-monorail-imagineering-a-highway-in-the-sky-disney-editions-deluxe","provider":"Book Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
