Created by Brian Volk-Weiss and produced by Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions and Volk-Weiss’s The Nacelle Company, “Behind The Attraction” is a documentary TV series about theme parks, the first five episodes of which premiere on 21, July 2021, on Disney+.
Behind the Attraction delves into Disney Parks’ rich, amazing history using archival and never-before-seen footage and photographs to unveil how the attractions came to be and how they’ve been refined over the years as new ideas surface and technology evolves.
The summary for the next episode, ‘The Castles’ which premiered on Wednesday, August 25, 2021, on Disney+ reads: Castles are at the heart of Disney Parks around the world. The original at Disneyland Resort in California quickly became a symbol of The Walt Disney Company on par with Mickey Mouse. Hear the unique story behind each one and learn how Imagineers designed and built them.
’Behind the Attraction’ is the quintessential Disney+ project. Best-in-class storytellers collaborating across multiple Disney units to mine and pull back the curtain on our rich Disney history. Dwayne, Dany, and Seven Bucks have not only established themselves as some of the most accomplished and prolific producers across multiple genres but have been long time valued members of The Walt Disney family. And Brian and Nacelle’s track record, mindset, and uber-geekdom make them the ideal partners for this project. This is going to be a special series.
