“…With respect to Disneyland as a whole, Disney designers themselves have described the park's spatial organization as cinematic (see the quote by John Hench at the beginning of this article). Many critics have taken up Hench's idea of sequentiality, arguing that Disneyland translates the temporal logic of film into the spatial logic of the theme park by presenting to visitors an “orderly sequence of messages” (Avila 126), an “edited sequence of sights and sounds” (Marling 197) .

“…Let us revisit, for example, Disneyland's Jungle Cruise ride, the one that caught Umberto Eco's attention. Art historian Karal Ann Marling describes that the Jungle Cruise, the most successful attraction of Disneyland's Opening Day, was so immediately appealing to 1950s park‐goers because it “was a visceral, sensual experience, like stepping, somehow, into the Technicolor confines of [1950s Hollywood blockbuster] The African Queen and becoming a member of the cast” (173). In effect, “Dalí's Dream of Venus” and the Jungle Cruise were similarly revolutionary in the way that they allowed guests to move away from passive observation and toward experiencing, engaging with, and journeying through some sort of other world.…”

“…De fait, on peut penser que la relation entre la grande vitesse ferroviaire et Anaheim est double ou duale, elle bénéfi cie à la fois aux activités touristiques de la ville et au projet de grande vitesse en Californie.
