Disney Just Debuted BRAND NEW Robot Technology!

By Leave a Comment

Disney is constantly developing new technology to use in the theme parks.

It’s HULK!

Sometimes it’s things like My Disney Experience and Disney Genie+ that you can access on your phone, but other times it’s impressive new ride systems or animatronics that look so realistic it’s hard to believe they’re fake (we’re looking at you — Na’vi River Journey Shaman of Song!). But even with all the interesting things we’ve seen so far, Disney isn’t stopping yet!

Disney Is OBSESSED With Your Nose…Here’s HOW!

By 1 Comment

Disney is honestly weirdly into noses, but they’ve got a good reason.

Spaceship Earth at EPCOT

For many a Disney fan, a favorite part of the parks experience is the smells. Walking down Main Street, U.S.A. we love to get a whiff of that fresh-baked bread. Lots of folks REALLY miss the orange smell from Soarin’ Over California. Oh, and the burning smell from Spaceship Earth? COME ON. Now, Disney is working on tech that could make smell engineering a more common thing, both in and out of the theme parks.
