If you lost a white handbag(?) on Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland last week, it's currently at the bottom of the lake 😬 Leave your loose items in the bin!

Well, they say opportunities often present themselves in the most unexpected ways! It was a blast to play a small role in the creation of #BehindTheAttraction Season 2. When I started making videos on YouTube, I never thought I'd see my own work in an official Disney+ series!

Big thanks to Director Brian Volk-Weiss and The Nacelle Company for making things right and supporting a small creator. Tons of respect for the whole team behind the show.

As a Canadian I find it hilarious that people get annoyed when I list things in KMPH AND MPH. Like you realize that more than 90% of countries use kilometers and not miles.

I'm looking forward to Season 2 👀
Season 2 of "Behind the Attraction" is coming to #DisneyPlus November 1st. This season will look at Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Indiana Jones Adventure, EPCOT, Nighttime Spectaculars, and the best attraction of all: food

TikTok's reach is kind of insane. I tried a little experiment by uploading my latest short to both platforms. On my YouTube channel with 240k subscribers: 3.5k views On a brand new TikTok account with 0 followers: 1.6M views A 45,000% difference between platforms is extreme.

I just picked up a sweet new art piece for my wall! 😍 Tower of Terror south elevation. As designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, 1994.

Scrambler rides are simple machines, but the math can be quite interesting. I've been playing with some code to simulate them in MATLAB. Fixed RPMs make nice trochoid curves, but unconstrained motion leads to chaos like a double pendulum. Might turn into a video at some point👀

I just had a productive phone call with Brian Volk-Weiss, director of 'Behind the Attraction' and CEO of The Nacelle Company. He took full responsibility for the Tower of Terror situation and offered a genuine apology on behalf of Disney, Nacelle, and Seven Bucks Productions.

Brian provided full transparency about the series of events that caused this to happen, and I am grateful that we were able to arrive at a resolution on good terms. The Tower of Terror episode will be re-edited to include my name in the credits.

I also want to add that Jeremy Samples (credited for graphic design on the series) was not involved with this incident. I am told that my work was copied due to a chain of mistakes in the production process, and Brian has taken full responsibility as the director.

Thank you to everyone for all the support and kind words regarding the situation with 'Behind the Attraction' on Disney+ We all know Disney's reputation when it comes to copyright, and I believe the content on their platforms should be held to the same standard. Another thread.

Engineering plans and blueprints are still protected as regular artistic works, but as I said previously, I did not use (or even have access) to any of these when creating my video. All the drawings in the video are my own artistic representation of the building and ride system.

This means that not only is this one of the most blatant cases of plagiarism from Disney, but it also a rare instance where copyright law may not be on their side. As a small creator, I'd love to see Disney, Seven Bucks, and Nacelle held accountable. Keep the pressure on them.
