The creative and technical development wizards at Walt Disney Imagineering have capped off another incredible year, which saw the opening of two new Disney parks - Disney's California Adventure and Tokyo DisneySea - with yet two more theme parks in the works.

Imagineers are currently developing exciting new attractions for every Disney park and resort around the world. They are focusing not only on new rides and shows, but also on new kinds of Disney storytelling that will reinvent themed entertainment experiences for the 21st century.

Europe's most popular tourist destination is expanding in March 2002 with the grand opening of the Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris. Located next to the Disneyland Paris theme park, the Walt Disney Studios will bring the best of film and TV entertainment to life. The park also will serve as a real production studio - a place where guests can go behind the scenes to discover how movies, television and animation are made. Here, guests will not only get to witness the process of movie-making, but will be invited to step into the action or grab the controls themselves.

Attractions will include special effects shows such as Armageddon; Catastrophe Canyon; the Stunt Show Spectacular!; Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith; a behind-the-scenes look at the Art of Disney Animation; and the Studio Tram Tour.
