On Saturday, Walt Disney Imagineering and cast members at Disney California Adventure park marked a very special occasion in the construction of Buena Vista Street. A time capsule containing items specific to the park was buried in Buena Vista Plaza, to be opened by Disneyland Resort cast members in 2037.

Some people think that mountains are formed by plate tectonics, a process that usually takes millions of years. When it came to building Ornament Valley -- the mountain range that serves as the backdrop to Radiator Springs in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure park -- we just didn't have that kind of time! So, we did what comes naturally to us at Disney and we hired the best rockwork artisans in the business. Check out this video with Zsolt Hormay, our rockwork art director, as he explains the process and what it takes to speed up Mother Nature.
