...when I would take any of the old Disney guys through the concept, when I would get to The Laboratory of Wonders and The Circus of the Mysterious, each one (in separate presentations to Al Bertino, to Marc Davis, and later to Herb Ryman) would ask, “Is this a walk-through?” And I would say “yes” and they would kind of shake their heads and say, “Walk-through’s don’t work…” I would nod in agreement and say “I know, but we don’t have any choice because Six Flags won’t let us do any rides and we only have space for two theatres” and they would shake their heads. “Walk-through’s don’t work” is a mantra and honestly, they were right. The walk-through’s were a direct result of the maxim “no rides” and it was not like there were any other options. The unique space requirements of the old building meant we had to create shows in tight spaces.
