Each of those plays a role in developing new rides and new features for Disneyland and other Disney theme parks, according to two executives in the Walt Disney Co.'s 1,000-employee Imagineering division, which creates attractions for all the Disney parks.
At Imagineering's base in Glendale, whether the process begins with a spark of inspiration from an individual or with a corporate decision, it soon goes to what Imagineering calls a "storyboarding" session – a type of brainstorming session that originated with movie-makers' technique of planning scenes by making a series of sketches.
