We love the magic of seeing Cinderella

KH: The hero comes in bearing down at 60 mph and whips the car around in
a 540-degree turn. It’s one of the fastest parts of the show. Then in the finale,

I go over two ramps, crash out of a building through some doors, over a moat
with explosions going everywhere!
MM: How did you learn to drive the villain cars on two wheels?
KH: We use an “outrigger,” a fifth wheel on the left side. The trick is to find the
balance point by tugging at the steering wheel and “scissoring” it back and forth.
When you first take the “outrigger” wheel off, it’s pretty nerve-wracking! But I look
forward to it now, finding the balance point and fighting to keep the car up.
MM: What’s one of your favorite stunts?
KH: Driving the “reverse hero car.” I drive on stage in an identical version of
the hero car with a body that’s switched around to make it look like I’m driving
backwards. Visibility is very low, but when you’ve driven it for as long as we’ve
been trained, you get used to it.
MM: And afterward, you reveal how it’s done?
KH: Yes, that’s a great thing about our show. We respect the fact that today’s
audiences are very intelligent, so we don’t pull the wool over their eyes. They
really like that.
SECRET
The cars in the show are specially equipped with rally
racing cages inside to protect the drivers. Each runs
on a 1300 cc motorcycle engine in the back and has a
direct drive transmission. They weigh less than regular
cars but are 2 1⁄2 times more powerful.

her Prince.
The show is cast with a who’s who of Disney
Princesses who arrive at the big event dressed to
dazzle. Snow White’s skirt features dozens and
dozens of embroidered sequins. Snow White,
Belle, Jasmine and Sleeping Beauty are each
dressed in a kaleidoscope of lavish textures, colors and styles.
All in all, it took over 5,500 yards of fabric to
make the show costumes. And no expense was
spared. In fact, some of the fabric was woven in
the same French mills that supply Paris’s most
renowned couturiers.
SECRET
Disney costume artists logged approximately
100,000 sewing room hours to create the
costumes in this show.
“MANY fabrics were
custom-appliquéd with
sequins. Here, I used

to the mountains of the Himalayas to search for new species and

“At one level, it’s a high-speed train adventure set in an incredible

Animal Kingdom Park, who will accompany the scientists during
the research trip. “It also remains true to the underlying philosophy
of the Park about conservation and the sanctity of the land.”
Rohde said plans also call for talks with Himalayan residents
about their relationship with the Yeti. “To them, the Yeti is a protector of the land,” Rohde told us.
