<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Adelle Sans W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><b>The props in the Tower of Terror are amazing! I’ve heard that the Mission Inn in Riverside, California, and the Biltmore in Los Angeles provided some of the inspiration for the design. Are there any other buildings that inspired this beautiful attraction?</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Adelle Sans W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The Imagineers looked at photographs of many elaborate buildings from the right era for their design ideas and then scoured Hollywood auction houses for the actual props. Some came from lavish estates of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. One set of chairs was 400 years old; other chairs came from the exclusive Jonathan Club, a well-known Los Angeles landmark built in the 1920s.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNovaRegular, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 23px;">Working with the Imagineers at WED Enterprises in California, Bob McCarthy has developed "a smellitzer machine", to add the aroma of everything from an erupting volcano in the Universe of Energy show to the tantalizing smell of a barbecue of the fragrance of orange blossoms. Each will be keyed to a particular show scene to enhance the realism of experiences in the Future World and World Showcase.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNovaRegular, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 23px;">WED designers are collecting scents from suppliers all over the world and blending them to produce the desired effect. So far, more than 300 odors have been tried, but more than 3,000 will be tested before the final choices are made. The smellitzer operates like an air cannon, aiming the scent up to 200 feet across a room toward an exhaust system. Guests traveling on the moving vehicles will pass through the scene as the appropriate scent drifts across their path. Regulated by computer, the scent can be triggered for a fresh aroma just prior to each vehicle's arrival. </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNovaRegular, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 23px;">Some of the smells will hardly be noticeable to most people. The aroma will be there, but the sensory perception may not be a conscious one. The WED engineers have learned how to regulate the strength or intensity of the odors used. A whole generation of unique techniques, special effects and transportation systems are being developed for Epcot Center.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNovaRegular, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 23px;">According to McCarthy, the use of smell has fascinated the entertainment industry for a long time. "Back in the fifties, Mike Todd developed a process called 'smell-a-vision'," McCarthy said. "The idea was to release certain scents into the theatre as the visual counterpart was shown on the screen." McCarthy, who worked with Todd on the project, claims there were many problems with "smell-a-vision." "The main problems was that odors tended to linger in the air, and after a while they all blended together," he said. "We couldn't get the scents in and out of the theatre quickly enough." At Epcot Center, the situation will be different because the audience will be moving through each of the many experiences in each pavilion.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNovaRegular, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 23px;">Some of the most unusual scents will be in the Land pavilion at Epcot Center. Here, the visitors will experience tropical vegetation, rain forests, deserts; some of the great terrain found on Earth. Of course, Disney "Imagineers" plan to supply all the appropriate smells. Guests traveling through a farming scene may detect a faint animal smell. In another scene, an orange grove will smell like the real thing. Still another effect calls for the smell of damp earth.</span></span></div>

In the early 1970s, Disney World had plans to build a Thai style hotel called the <b><span style="color: red;">Asian Resort</span></b>. It was to be built about midway between the <b>Magic Kingdom </b>and the <i>Polynesian Resort</i> on the monorail line ... in a spot now occupied by the <span style="color: #cc0000;">Grand Floridian Resort & Spa</span>!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disney's Asian Resort was to be a Disney-owned Deluxe resort to be located at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida that originally would have began operation in 1974. It was going to be themed after Thialand and located on Seven Seas Lagoon. Due to the 1973 Oil Embargo, the resort, along with Disney's Venetian Resort and Disney's Persian Resort were never built. Since the opening of Walt Disney World, there has been an empty square plot of land available for its use. There was even a road created, Asian Way, which later became Floridian Way.</div>

<br /></div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<b><i style="color: #6fa8dc;">I would like to set the record straight on the voice. Throughout the 1970's and into the 1980's the voice heard on all Disney monorails, as well as most all the voiceover work for all the parks was the legendary "Voice of Disney", Jack Wagner.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc;">
</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>I have had the privilege of working with him many times through the years.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>One interesting side note is that Jack's home in Southern California was one of the first uses for a direct audio link from a remote recording studio. It was put in by Disney in the 70's and connected a voiceover booth in his home to Studio D at Disneyland in Anaheim. He frequently would receive last minute calls for special events and was able to just walk over to the booth and "beam" it directly to the park. Anyhow, with the amount of work that Florida was generating after Epcot and the Studios opened, plus the fact that Jack wanted to head towards retiring sometime, other voice talent was sought out locally in Florida. </i></b></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>There have been several people used in voiceover work since then, one of them being Kevin Miles, who is one of the original members of the Voices of Liberty at Epcot, and can still be heard there daily. Kevin recorded the monorail voiceovers after the Grand Floridian was built, and his voice was still there until the 25th Anniversary rolled around, when it was updated by one of the new voiceover talents.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i style="color: #6fa8dc;">The amount of voiceover work at the parks now is astronomical, and it is shared by a couple of people who have "the voice", including Kevin. Interestingly enough, though, Jack's voice can still be heard welcoming everyone to Orlando on the monorails at the airport terminals</i></b>."</div>
