40、d make it easy to move from one to another. Reference for Teaching Background Information 迪斯尼乐园（Disneyland） Few places of entertainment on Earth have garnered as much wonder,legend,or controversy as Disneyland,the Walt Disney Company amusement park,which was the first large-scale implementation of D
41、isney approach to fantasy,story,and crowd control. Places of Family Amusement are not new in the world,and there has certainly grown a science to them not unlike that of keeping a travelling circus intact,or maintaining national parks.But more than those who came before them,Disney and his creative
42、team focused on the presentation of Disneyland,ensuring that it would be as controlled and predictable a fiction as their movies,records and television shows had been up to that point. Walking into Disneyland is like an entering the sweeping shot of a fantasy movie,with a town square reaching forwar
43、d to a breathtaking castle.Every aspect of the park was said to be planned ahead with the energy of one of the Disney animated features,with artists from various productions brought in to work on the look and style of the place.Actors from many Disney features appear as the voices of birds,announcer
44、s and narrators in the park.But all this wonder hides how extensive the Disney planning really is. When you enter Disneyland,you are actually on the top floor of a giant complex of underground facilities,providing most of the “heart and health” of the park with security,employee facilities,garbage c
45、ollection and other important administrative aspects all hidden from view.You dont see garbage stacked outside Disneyland waiting to be picked up,and you never see an employee shuffling out to the lot after a long day.The park has even developed its own nomenclature to insulate gritty details from t

It is said that Walt Disney planned the park to the point of the placement of wastebaskets.He supposedly took a snack that might be purchased at a stand,walked until he finished it,and decreed that no trashcan would be
47、further than that distance from any other.There are few places outside of Las Vegas where such grandiose and breathtakingly anal plans would be taken seriously,both in implementation and in believing that such forethought existed.And Las Vegas was nowhere near Disneylands level for years. This has c
48、aused such urban legends as the “Disney Tapes”，where Walt Disney was said to have left film loops to be played after his death for several years,his forward-thinking genius so amazing he could predict what would be awaiting the company in the ensuing years.This is actually a core part of Isaac Asirn
49、ovs Foundation series of novels,and not the real case.It is thought that promotional films that Disney made before his death regarding EPCOT and other projects were the source of this rumor. 迪斯尼世界以其独有的魅力,每天都吸引着成千上万来自世界各地的游客,彩车游行,旧 日的街道,迪斯尼动画中的形象,古老的童话传说,惊险刺激的游戏,未来世界的梦想,所有的一 切让人流连忘返,无论成人还是孩子,都会被它深深地吸引,一次又一次地踏入迪斯尼乐园的 大门。 美国所有的迪斯尼乐园几乎一模一样,都是由八个主题园区构成,分别为: 美国主街区(Main Street USA) 新奥尔良广场(New Orleans Square) 万物家园(Frontierland) 荒野地带(Adventureland) 欢乐园
