Just last month, the Grand Canyon and Primeval World dioramas reopened along the route of the Disneyland Railroad with some impressive new lighting effects. And today Walt Disney Imagineering shared what went into reinvigorating this memorable feature of the Happiest Place On Earth that dates back to the 1960s.
What's happening:
- Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a new video to its Instagram feed, detailing the technological upgrades that have been installed for the lighting system at Disneyland's Grand Canyon and Primeval World dioramas. You can watch the video below.
