886 · Disney Legend Bob Gurr: 20 Incredible Stories and a Candid InterviewWhat do Walt Disney, a brand-new Monorail, the Vice President of the United States, and a giant King Kong have in common? The answer is Disney Legend Bob Gurr, the man whose curiosity and creativity helped bring some of the most iconic attractions and experiences in Disney history to life.To celebrate Bob's 95th birthday and his upcoming induction into the IAAPA Hall of Fame, I'm sharing 20 remarkable stories you may never have heard from a career unlike any other, including some you might never have heard before. From Autopia and the Matterhorn to the Haunted Mansion's Doom Buggies, we explore the ideas, challenges, unexpected moments, and people behind the attractions we love.Then we'll revisit my original 2010 conversation with Bob, one of my favorite interviews I've ever recorded. He talks candidly about Walt Disney, how Imagineering really worked in those early days, what it takes to create something that's never been done before, and a few experiences that might surprise you. And I have a very personal memory to share from after that interview that has stayed with me ever since.If you could ride any Disney attraction with Bob Gurr sitting right next to you, which one would you choose, and what would you ask him along the way?
