DISNEY PROJECTS
DISNEY'S AMERICA
A unique and historically detailed environment, DISNEY'S AMERICA is a
celebration of the diversity of America, the plurality of this nation
and the conflicts that have defined us as a people.
Within the Park's nine "territories," guests may find themselves
piloting a World War II fighter in a virtual reality experience,
participating in a harrowing Lewis and Clark river expedition through
a Native American Indian village, witnessing an authentic Civil War
re-enactment, or meeting the nation's 41 presidents through the magic
of Disney's Audio-Animatronics technology.
While offering rides and attractions for which Disney is famous,
DISNEY'S AMERICA will also be a venue for people of all ages --
especially American youth -- to debate the future of their nation and
learn about the past by living its history.
The approximately 100-acre park is scheduled to open in 1998 and will
be sited on 3,000 acres of land in Virginia. The Walt Disney Company
has options to purchase an ideal complement to visiting the
museums, monuments and national treasures in Washington, D.C.
OTHER CURRENT WDI PROJECTS

By mid-decade, Imagineering will also complete a major attraction,

Moon. A huge cannon will catapult guests to the far reaches of
space, where they'll rocket through high-speed curves and
gravity-defying loops inside Discovery Mountain.
