In other words, they’re in charge of improving the equipment of Disneyland Paris, and no modification can be made on it without their okay. This team of about 20 engineers and industrial draftsmen is part of the maintenance division, and is the technical referent on all rides, parade floats and stages. Let me present to you Show & Ride Engineering (S.R.E.). Okay, so we’re good on what a mechanical engineer is… but what does it imply when it comes to Disneyland Paris? And my expertise was in mechanics: from designing robots to ride vehicles, anything that is meant to move was part of my universe. To keep it simple, an engineer is a solution finder… a Gyro Gearloose who has to adapt to any and every situation and overcome any obstacle. You guessed it, this boy was me! And today, allow me to share a little bit of my story and lift the veil on this fascinating world that was mine for almost 4 years: mechanical engineering at Disneyland Paris.īefore we move on, just a little bit of definition… what’s an engineer? Neither could his curiosity… which grew stronger and stronger each year, asking “but wait… how does magic work?”Īfter being gently pushed back by his parents a few times (“just look it up on the internet, you’ll find out eventually!”), this boy found out about Imagineering and engineering… it was love at first sight and he knew that one day he would do everything in his power to become an engineer at a Disney park. And the fulfilment, the escape, the magic of this destination, he could never forget them. Once a year, he visited Disneyland Paris. Once a year, this boy left it all aside to dream, become a great adventurer, an explorer of the future, a fairytale hero, or even a movie star. Once upon a time, long ago, there was a boy, quite shy and unsure of himself. Hi Quentin! With Disney, stories often begin by “once upon a time…” so, what about yours? An exciting department, but little known to visitors, which is nevertheless essential to the smooth running of the experience in our theme parks We know you’re interested in Disneyland Paris backstage! As such, we met Quentin Rodrigues, one of the two new Disneyland Paris Ambassadors, who used to work in the Show Ride Engineering team.
