Disney+ will be debuting a new documentary series Behind the Attraction this summer that will focus on Disney Parks. When Disney+ first launched, one of its flagship titles was the documentary series The Imagineering Story, which took audiences through the history of Disney Parks to see the past and give a hint at what the future holds. With the summer meaning families are out for vacation and want to visit Disney Parks, including the newly opened Avengers Campus, now a little bit of the park can be enjoyed from the comfort of home.
According to Deadline, Behind the Attraction will premiere all 10 episodes on Disney+ on July 16 with interviews from Imagineers and even archival footage of Walt Disney himself. The series is narrated by Paget Brewster (voice of Della Duck on Disney's DuckTales) and is produced by Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia, who are both producers on the upcoming Jungle Cruise film, along with several others. The episodes will spotlight Disney Parks rides like Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, It's A Small World, Haunted Mansion, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Star Tours, as well as the attraction The Hall of Presidents, the castles at each park, the monorail system, and the Disneyland hotel. Disney+ also shared the poster for Behind the Attraction on its Twitter account:
The Disney attractions have become major factors in the Walt Disney company branding, having launched the highly successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The release date of July 16 arrives just two weeks before Jungle Cruise is set to open in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access. Disney also has plans to launch a TV universe based around Magic Kingdom, so it appears the company is eager to grow its rides and attractions into other media. The docuseries Behind the Attraction should make viewers even more excited for what's to come from Disney.
