Documents that shed light on the development of Walt Disney World and other theme parks across the country are available to the general public online through the University of Central Florida's Web site.
Students and the general public will have access to about 150 of 1,000 documents that were donated by Harrison "Buzz" Price to UCF. Price is an economic consultant who was instrumental in the logistical planning of Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
The documents include feasibility and economic impact studies of several major attractions.
Scott Lee, an adjunct professor at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management at UCF, says the documents are invaluable for teaching students who are studying tourism and hospitality. Lee says he uses the documents in courses he teaches on how to develop a product for the market, theme parks and attractions.
The papers include an economic impact report on the then-proposed Walt Disney World and a feasibility study of River Walk in San Antonio, Texas.
Also among the documents are feasibility reports for attractions that were proposed, but abandoned after their analysis, including Fukuoka Sea Life Park in Japan, a theme park in Mexico City and Undersea World in Phoenix, Ariz.
Links to the documents can be accessed online at www.ucf.edu.
