概要

There’s a version of Disneyland we all know, built on story, immersion, and magic.

But what if that’s not the full picture?

This week, we’re joined by Roland Betancourt to unpack the central argument of his new book, Disneyland and the Rise of Automation. He argues that Disneyland isn’t just a storytelling engine. It is a highly sophisticated system of industrial automation carefully disguised as fantasy.

From the influence of factory design to the mechanics behind attractions like the Haunted Mansion, we dig into what happens when you strip away the narrative and look at the park as a machine. Are rides really just camouflaged assembly lines? Are guests part of the system? And where does story actually fit if everything is built around efficiency and flow?

This isn’t a typical author interview. We dig into the ideas, ask questions, and explore where this perspective fits within the way we think about Imagineering.

Whether you agree with the thesis or not, this conversation will change the way you see the parks.

Disneyland and the Rise of Automation releases April 28.
