The Imagineering Field Guide Books

I have bought the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, & Epcot versions of this book but cannot find one for MGM. Does anyone know if they have produced one?

I have all three, they're REALLY fun. So far there isn't one for MGM. For some reason they published AK before MGM but they originally published MK and then Epcot in order.

Totally worth picking up at Barnes & Noble!

I agree, they are great books and very informative. I did come away from them feeling that some of my most burning questions we left unanswered, like how on earth does the mechanics of Universe of Energy work, but hay ho!

Do you know if there is any plan for publishing an MGM one?

Ohh, I'll have to look for this! That sounds cool!

It's definitely worth buying them. They are cheap and give lots of details on the construction and planning of the parks. They do leave you dying to know more though.

Glad for the info, Guy. I was just saying to nancynohorse (my mom) the other day about how I wondered if there were online schematics for the old Epcot rides and stuff like that.

I've always wondered how the interior layout of SEE, Horizons and WoM worked!

I do believe that there is supposed to be one for MGM. I LOVE these books! They are very interesting.

I would love to know how these work too, as yet I cannot find anything. There are a few websites that give loads of info on individual rides such as space mountain. The one I saw on SM was really good - I'll do some searching and open a new forum with links.

Here is the new forum

Ohh, so the Epcot guide doesn't show the schematics? The online blurb for them at amazon and bn.com implied that the book has them...

The books do give lots of details on the rides' construction and some 'quick takes' with stats and things, but not all rides are covered in equal detail.

Wow, that's one of the books my DW wants for her Birthday!! Is it any good?

Well, I certainly enjoyed them - informative and fun.
