Cómo se crea una atracción

After nailing The Imagineering Story, I was extremely excited to hear that Behind the Attraction was coming out! I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to learn even more than we as the general public had no idea about & see archive footage of the construction of the rides.

Instead, we received a very fast paced (almost TikTok style) video with even fewer facts than many of the amazing YouTubers have told us. It felt aimed at teenagers, but also, not gripping enough to keep their attention.

It was a shame as I feel the style & pacing of Imagineering Story was so perfect & this could have been a beautiful continuation of that, but you it just feels like you've ridden Mission Space for 45 minutes straight!

This is Disney Plus' Toys/Movies that Made Us which if you haven't already please watch both of those series they're great. This series focuses on the behind the scenes of the Disney rides and resorts showing how much it took to make the magical experiences come to life; which as a Disney fan I always love to peak behind the curtain. When I was watching I couldn't help but smile at everything they were showing me which is great but they don't really dive into the greater details of the development. There's a review here by nrshoeter that says "This is very good, but the light hearted presentation style lacks depth and detail at times." which I agree with the light hearted presentation and not covering the troubles and hardships of creating the individual attractions. An example being the development of Disneyland Paris's Space Mountain and the Disney company needing it to secede due to the French not attending the park leading to the resort's HUGE debt. Also it would've been fun if they poked fun at themselves some to show more humanity but that's just a personal wish. The main complaint I had with them skipping on the larger details is rectified in 2019's "The Imagineering Story" witch explores the vast history of the people who made the Disney ride which I would recommend watching before this; but that's a problem, what if someone doesn't want to watch that and just watch this you're going to miss out on some of the greater context and hardship that made these attractions. But all in all this is a fun watch I would recommend for everyone who likes Disney.

After the excellent Imagineering Story, Disney Plus was crying out for a series on all the attractions.

This is very good, but the light hearted presentation style lacks depth and detail at times. Its very much a copy of Movies That Made Us on Netflix in terms of style.

Disney parks fans love details, give the audience what they want.

All the information here is fascinating. But it speeds through it with a very annoying narrator who gave me a headache. Slow down this isn't a mishmash of tik tok videos. We are genuinely interested in the information and want to hear the imagineers talk about it without a narrator talking over them and cutting them off for unfunny useless comments. The editor on this project should not have another editing job period.

Behind the Attraction is a documentary series that takes Disney fans deep into the making of the company's most famous theme park rides. From Haunted Mansion to Space Mountain, the show explores the history, design challenges, and creative vision behind these iconic attractions.

It's surprisingly detailed for a streaming series, offering interviews with Imagineers and archival footage that highlight just how much work goes into bringing these rides to life. The tone is light and accessible, making it easy for casual viewers while still offering plenty for hardcore Disney enthusiasts.

Not every episode hits the same high : some topics like the monorail or Hall of Presidents feel less thrilling compared to more iconic attractions, and the lack of French dubbing in season two is a curious omission. Still, the series succeeds in sparking nostalgia and deepening appreciation for Disney's craftsmanship.
