Disneyland Park – Frontierland Expansion
PRESERVE THE HISTORIC NATURE OF A POPULAR DISNEY AREA DURING AN AREA ALTERATION.
Kevin created initial conceptual site plans showing relocation possibilities for the Disneyland Railroad and Rivers of America while maintaining sensitivity to the historic nature of these attractions. He worked closely with the Disneyland show quality team and on-location creative team to reroute the Disneyland railroad and Rivers of America, creating an expansion parcel while improving existing attractions.
He inventoried existing assets to create a scope of work, working to retain, relocate, and reuse as many figures and props as physically possible while re-staging scenes to be more successful in their respective new environments. Kevin also completed site supervision during install, creating and reviewing contractor punch lists.
