Hey guys,
i just found that, as I looked a little bit round the Internet about WDW:
http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WDW/MagicK ... round.html (http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WDW/MagicKingdom/Secrets/General/Underground.html%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
I don´t know if you´ve already seen it but I´ ve never seen that before...
Sounds very interesting , for me ^^
My Question is now, does anyone know if a System like this also exsists in our Disneyland Park in Paris ? Maybe a stupid question but I really don´t know that ... There are also many hidden entrances ( Cast Members Only ... Ne Pas Entrer ) okay most of the times I think it´s just Backstage but maybe there´s also a tunnel ?
Thanks :D
see you
eddy =)
There isn't a utilidor in DLRP. I am sure there are various stores/system control etc and Space Mountain is partially below ground level.
Yeah ford_perfect is correct i'm 99.99% certain there isn't an underground system in DLRP :)
There isnt i remember finding out about the magic kingdom underground system before and asking about if there is one at paris and the answer was no.
There isn't a tunnel system ,I'm sure I heard that it was because the water table is too high at Paris so they can't dig down too far !!

They didn't dig down in Florida either. They built the utilidors on ground level and then built the Magic Kingdom on top of them.

i have heard that disney hase a upper level tunnel in all the shops, but theye also have an underground tunnen, becouse that is THE way to resock the stores and that is the "back" of the store. i know people are going from place to place in them like they have in the usa, brcouse did you ever see enyone going around in some place theye are not supposed to be? you have to travel a lot of space if you have to go to the main gate.
There are access roads running the length of Main Street,if you look on google earth you can clearly see the backstage layout.
All cast members, stock and supplies travel around the resort.
Strangely I have just found a video on http://www.virginmedia.com (http://www.virginmedia.com"%20onclick="window.open(this.href);return%20false;) all about the tunnel system at WDW !!! It is a Disney video to promote the theme park ,enjoy, it explains it all !!!
Thanks for this great link timbo =D>

Thank you guys for all your answers ;)
greez eddy
Yeah, thanks Timbo, very interesting footage there... =D> =D>
Great find.... :D/ :D/ :D/
I'm happy that DLRP doesn't have a tunnel system beneath DLP. The utilidors are the reason, why the Dumbo ride at WDW doesn't have the water effects. The tunnel is also the reason why the Fantasyland at WDW looks so bad. It was not possible to integrate the nice little rivers and lakes like DLRP's Fantasyland features.
During my time in the USA, I have seen many TV documentations about Disneyland and Walt Disney World on Travel Channel and History Channel. One of these tv shows was a "Behind the scenes of WDW" show and it explained some things about the tunnels. For example that the MK is not build on ground level, it's on the first floor. All special effects and rides are controlled from the control room in the utilidors. The Magic Kingdom is the only Disney park that has such a tunnelsystem.
I heard that it was built for Characters/Cast Members to get around the park without being seen. Meaning that if someone was dressed in a explorer outfit but was over by tomorrowland they wouldnt have to walk through the land looking out of place. But surely they wouldnt build it just for that !.
Im going to watch that video, probably explains the reasons why it was built :)
Edit; Oh wow, so it was partially made for cast members to get around different lands !
dagobert ,the video mentioned in the link is the one you must have seen as it explains all this !!! :wink:
