DISNEY PARK
Enchanted Tiki Room (By a Reuter Correspondent) ANAHEIM (United States) Thousands of visitors to Disneyland will be getting a look at Walt Disney’s latest million dollar addition to the amusement park—the Enchanted Tiki Room. The room, which took 10 years to develop, is a new musical animated media termed by Disney “Audio animatromcs.”
Inside the Enchanted Tiki Room 225 artificial tropical birds, flowers, tikis and totem poles talk, sing and dance. It is programmed by tape. Sound impulses cause the mouths and bodies of birds, flowers and figures to move as they sing and talk. Each head on several totem poles has a lifelike mouth and tongue, eyes that wink, roll and close. Elaboratelycarved canoes filled with singing orchids drop from the ceiling Audiences sit in the centre of the Tiki Room, surrounded by each 17-minute musical fantasy.
* Disney said he is using this same three - dimensional media for the New Orleans area and the Haunted Mansion of 1001 Ghosts, now under development.
