PHOTOS: Disney Imagineer Shares New Behind-The-Scenes Photos of Journey of Water at EPCOT

Earlier today, Walt Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley shared some exciting behind-the-scenes photos of the future site of Journey of Water - Inspired by Moana. This new walk-through attraction will be located in the World Nature themed area of EPCOT and will include numerous water features, rockwork, and interactive elements.

Here's the full Instagram post featuring the new images mentioned above:

It was great to spend the day on our project site for Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana – the new attraction coming to the World Nature neighborhood of EPCOT. Many years go into designing these experiences and nothing beats seeing the real thing in its own “state of becoming.” Our guests are following along on this work from the monorail above our site, so I thought it would be fun to share a few views with you from on the ground, right in the middle of the process. 

 

The craft of creating rockwork is a blend of art and science, and seeing this carving and sculpting progress live is one of the things I love most about my role as an Imagineer. I joined the project team for a walk of the site alongside Imagineers Scott and Robert, two of our leaders overseeing the project. The range of textures are inspired by real world formations – all the way down to the tiniest details and variation that, when finished, should be impossible to distinguish from the real thing.
