Title: Control room?
Post by: Javey74 on May 13, 2007, 02:50:20 AM
Hi Everyone

Can anyone out there solve this question? Where in the DLP is the main control room, at first I was told it was in the Sleeping Beauty Castle, which to me was impossible as it was to small for that.  The most realistic answer was behind "It's a small world".  If this is true, has anyone been lucky enough to see inside, I think there was a clip of it on the first DVD released, showing managers looking at video monitors controlling "The Fantallusion Parade" timing.  Come to think of it where is the control room in the Studios Park?

If anyone out there has a little more inside knowledge about these buildings and the staff involved who work there, I would be very grateful.

 :D  :D  :D  :D

He he, maybe it's just a small little black box doing all the magic? :))

Well to be hones I'd die to see a photo of the control room, Oliver ••••

I always thought that the control room of the Disneyland Park is in the first level of the right side of the Main Street (when you look from the entrance to the castle).

As far as I know, there is a restaurant for cast members there, but I guess a CM would be in a better position to confirm this...

Thanks for all your headscratching, so it does seem to be behind "It's a small world" as I thought for the park, but I did not know about "Studio 1" upstairs for the Studios Park, saying that if you go in Studio 1 the set designs seem to go right to the ceiling on the building itself, so unless the upstairs is off to one side ? ? Any further ideas on this one.

 :D  :D  :D

Quote from: "Poppy The Monkey"Like I said; It's behind Its a small world.  :roll:

look at google maps:
you've got the it's a small world building,
after it's a small world there is a road,
yo mean the building on the other side of the road?
with the heli-pad on the right side and the parade cars parked on the left side?

because the building from it's a small world seems way to small to host the ride and a complete themepark control room

maybe check out the size of the pirates building, way bigger then it's  small world

This is the parade control centre. There is another area for park control.

As for the Studios, there are stairs up to the control room outside the toilets in Studio 1, the control room starts behind the Gossip Column area.

And Hi tubbsy, yea Tink controls all the parade music  :lol: And Flora, Fauna and Merriweather do the Cinema Parade, so she can be part of the parade, of course!  :D

Ah I forgot about the Fairy Godmother. I can see her being able to keep control.  :D

I have edited this-I want to apologise to javay who asked  sensible question and I got silly with my fairy dust idea. Hope you are not offended. :)

No I'm not offended tubbsy at the least, I wish at times it was fairy dust, never mind we could always dream, you know, it could be "JUST LIKE WE DREAMED IT" after all. :donald:
