Episode 66: Author Dave Bossert and Retired Imagineer Alan Coats Part 2

from The Hyperion Hub · host John Alois

In the second half of our conversation with Dave Bossert and Alan Coats, we'll hear how Claude Coats was given the prestigious role of lead Imagineer on Pirates of the Caribbean.  Also, the Haunted Mansion has two distinct approaches between the scary first half and the light hearted second half.  We'll find out how Claude and fellow Imagineer Marc Davis worked together on the perfectly unbalanced attraction.  You can read more stories about Claude in Dave Bossert's upcoming book, Claude Coats: Walt Disney's Imagineer: The Making of Disneyland from Toad Hall to the Haunted Mansion and Beyond.  Plus the NBA Experience in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World has closed permanently.  What happened?  Why didn't it work?  We'll share our thoughts.  Do you have a topic for us?  We'd love to hear from you.  You can email or send us a recorded audio message at [email protected].  Find us on social media on Facebook, Instagram and on Twitter @HubHyperion.  The Hyperion Hub is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company or its subsidiaries.
