| 0:00.0 | Just another day at the office, huh? |
| 0:02.0 | I don't know about that. |
| 0:09.0 | Welcome to For Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world-class. |
| 0:18.0 | I'm Ryan Bergara. |
| 0:19.0 | I'm Byron Marin. And for today's episode, |
| 0:22.2 | we are not covering an attraction, nor are we listing a top five, but we're going to be |
| 0:26.0 | recapping our very special tour of Walt Disney Imagineering. You did hear that correctly. |
| 0:33.1 | For some reason, they have allowed us to tour Walt Disney Imagineering. They even sent us shirts to wear |

| 1:26.6 | And stay tuned to the very end of this episode because we did get the opportunity to |
| 1:30.5 | interview an Imagineer, Jolt Harme, who you may remember from Imagineering Story or you |
| 1:36.9 | may just know of his work, his specialty is rock work and environments, worked on a bunch of |
| 1:42.7 | different things, including, you know, Pandora, Carsland, |
| 1:46.4 | the Cadillac Range in particular, even going back to Typhoon Lagoon. And the Tree of Life, |
| 1:52.3 | probably maybe the bigger icon that he's worked on. All things said, he's worked very closely |
