Arrow Development and Disney, with Adam Dworkin from Engineering Theme Parks

Eric catches up with Adam from the Engineering Theme Parks Podcast. They discuss Arrow Development, the company that helped WED engineer the Disney Theme Parks. Adam and Eric discuss the history of the Iconic ride systems Arrow had a hand in! Including Omnimovers, boat rides, spinners like Dumbo and the Mad Tea Party, and the Matterhorn. Arrow developed the tubular steel track of the Matterhorn that allowed Disney to fit the coster inside the mountain and led to Arrow’s place at the cutting edge of the Coaster Wars. Arrow Development's work with Disney Parks has influenced themed entertainment and amusement parks all over the world!
