20 years celebrating excellence in themed entertainmentTEA president Christine Kerr, BaAM Productions

It seems fitting that I am watching the Oscars as I write this. Many consider the Thea Awards to be the Oscars of the Themed Entertainment Industry. It is certainly that time of year when we hang up our hard hats and put our steel-toed boots in the closet in exchange for tuxedos and gowns. It is a welcome opportunity to take a break from the hard work involved in creat-ing extraordinary experiences in order to take a few hours and celebrate this amazing industry that we are privileged to work in. And we get to spend time with old friends – perhaps better described as “friends we’ve known for a long time….”

As we celebrate �0 years of Theas, the projects being honored this year continue to demon-strate what is possible when creative people from all over the world come together with a goal of creating amazing experiences. The influence of local cultures on these projects makes them unique but also makes them appealing and endearing to international audiences. This year’s list of award recipients is a journey through the regions that TEA Divisions represent: Asia Pacific –the Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore; Europe and the Middle East – the Netherlands, France and Northern Ireland; and North America including as far west as Hawaii. The global TEA community salutes all of the recipients from around the world.

Thea Classic Award recipient the Enchanted Tiki Room has provided generations of guests with an immersive experience that certainly took them far away from their everyday lives! As the world’s first Audio-Animatronics show, it was very high-tech in its day. It somehow seems fitting that in this same year, Garner Holt is our �0�4 Buzz Price Thea Award recipient in recognition of a lifetime of distinguished achievements in the world of animatronics, animations and so much more. Garner embodies the entre-preneurial spirit and commitment to a dream that should inspire all of us. He joins an impressive group of outstanding individuals who have done so much to help shape the vibrant international industry we enjoy today. Thank you and congratulations Garner!

Please also join me in congratulating Karen McGee who is the recipient of the �0�4 TEA Distinguished Service Award. Karen’s unfaltering support and commitment to the work of the Thea Awards Committee makes much of this possible. Karen embodies the work ethic and spirit of volunteerism that take her above and beyond in her support of TEA.

�0�4 started very well for the TEA as our search for a new leader brought us Jennie Nevin. If you have not met Jennie, please make a point of introducing yourself at the next possible opportunity. Her experience in the world of membership associations along with her energy, ideas and work ethic confirm for all of us on the International Board that the future is very bright for our association. Our three primary areas of focus over the past year - NextGen, Asia Pacific expansion and our new website – are well underway. We are shifting our focus on �0�4 to building our assets – in the form of our conferences and other ways we share our knowledge and experience. And we are also very keen to collect and analyze the facts and figures that help define our industry to our members, our clients and the rest of the world.

I would like to thank Patrick Roberge and his amazing team at PRP for once again producing tonight’s show. Their support of the TEA is much appreciated. I’d like to extend the thanks of our entire association to Disney Parks and Resorts for their ongoing support of the TEA and the festivities of the Thea Awards Gala. Thanks also to all of our incredible and generous sponsors for their contributions to the success of TEA’s Weekend of Events, which includes the Gala and the �-day TEA Summit that preced-ed it, along with some special NexGen activities for nurturing our industry’s promising future. And of course, none of this would be possible without the tireless work of the TEA staff.

The success of an association like the TEA relies on the contribution of the significant time, resources and ideas made by every volunteer who sits on a board or a committee or who otherwise donates their time. And behind these individuals is most often a company supporting and encouraging their efforts. Thank you to all of you. I hope the rewards are great – from a business de-velopment and networking point of view and because of the sense of accomplishment and the relationships developed through working with talented people who share a passion for our industry.

Once again, congratulations to all the Thea Awards recipients. You inspire TEA members from around the world as they create amazing, extraordinary and compelling places and experiences. Enjoy this celebration of your success with your TEA friends!

A Brief History of the Thea Awards By Bob Rogers, BRC Imagination Arts Like the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) itself, the Thea Awards were created to bring recognition to achievement, talent and personal excellence within the themed entertainment industry. From a modest beginning in �994, the Thea Awards have become internationally recognized as a symbol of excellence.

From the start of the TEA in �99�, the TEA’s founder, Monty Lunde, felt our industry represented some of the most accomplished yet under-recognized talents working in all of entertainment. Therefore after launching the TEA, and guiding it safely through the first critical years, Monty’s next priority was the creation of an award that would bring recognition and prestige to the people of our industry.

TEA’s first Awards Judging Committee was comprised of Bob Rogers, Pat Scanlon and Barry Howard. In early �994 they met in a single session at Monty’s Restaurant (an ironic coincidence, no relationship to Mr. Lunde) in the west San Fernando Valley. The choice of an honoree was easy: Industry veteran, Harrison “Buzz” Price would be the first recipient of the only award to be given out that year — the TEA Lifetime Achievement Award.

The name of the award is a play on three words: The first is “Thea,” the Greek goddess from whom all light emanates. Thea was the mother of Helios (the sun), Eos (the dawn) and Selene (the moon). The second key word is “Theater,” a word which derives from the goddess Thea. The third word, of course, is “TEA,” the name of our association. The original Thea and AOA (Award for Outstanding Achievement) trophies were designed by Barry Howard and Jeremy Railton. The new Thea, which debuted in 2001, was designed by Zofia Kostryko.

The first year’s ceremony was produced by Ron Miziker of Miziker & Company, and the event was coordinated by Jana Love with Monty Lunde serving as Chairman of the Awards Ceremony Committee and master of ceremonies. It was held at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and was attended by over �00 people. The evening was partly a tribute and partly an affectionate “roast” of Buzz, although

at least one speaker came with the impression that it was a men-only “smoker” and mortified the guest of honor and the ladies present with his presentation. Overall, the balance of the evening was magnificent. Many of us were so astonished by the sight of each other in tuxedos and evening gowns that we agreed to do it again the following year.

Nineteen ninety-five was our second year. Our single honoree was Walt Disney Imagineering’s Marty Sklar and again the event was held at the Biltmore, but in a bigger room with about �50 people in attendance. Again the format was a series of speakers, roasting and saluting the honoree. One of the highlights was a long parade of “Marty’s former secretaries” in which half of the ladies in the audience participated. (Marty has a reputation for high turnover among his administrative assistants!)

Thea’s third year (�996) was a major turning point. That year, the Awards for Outstanding Achievement (AOA) were introduced, turning the Thea Awards into a multi-award event. Ten AOA awards were distributed and several breakthrough traditions were established that have come to characterize the Thea Awards:

The objective of the Thea Awards is simple: To find excellence and celebrate it. It is not a judgment of winners and losers. The achievements selected for awards are chosen because they represent the excellence found throughout the themed entertainment industry. This simple philosophy guides the entire Thea process.

•There are no surprise announcements, no secret names in envelopes, no division of attendees into winners and losers at the Thea Awards. Everyone walks in a winner and leaves as a winner. This Thea tradition brings our industry together for a completely positive evening.

•Membership in the TEA is not a requirement or a consideration in judging. Excellence is our only standard.

•Within the AOA there are no set categories. The TEA is free to honor several achievements in the same category or to skip categories, as the year’s achievements warrant.

•The AOA honors the entire achievement and everyone who worked on the achievement, rather than individuals, such

��

as Best Director or Best Art Director. We ask the owner of the achievement to designate the individuals who will come to the podium to collect the award on behalf of all of the people and companies who contributed to the achievement. These two Thea traditions remove the TEA from the impossible task of trying to determine or arbitrate credits (an issue in which the TEA has no legal standing – at least not yet) and it spreads the sense of honor and accomplishment to all who worked on the achievement. Thus the Thea Awards become an event that brings us together rather than one that tears us apart.

•To receive a Thea Award, the owner of the achievement must publish credits. In this way, the Thea Awards established the very first standards and requirements for credits in our industry. This tradition was immediately embraced by Disney, Universal and many of the large companies which had previously resisted publishing credits. The creation of our industry’s first credits may be Thea’s greatest accomplishment to date.

Also noteworthy in �996, as a variation of the usual Lifetime Achievement Award, the TEA gave a special AOA for Outstanding Individual Achievement to Monty Lunde, the founder of the association.

In �997 two additional special categories of the AOA were created. Excellence on a Limited Budget (assuring annual recognition for one or more achievements created for less than $5 million) and the Thea Classic Award, honoring one achievement each year, that has stood the test of time.

The Thea Awards Gala has become THE social event of the year within our industry. In spite of limited budgets, our all-volunteer production teams comprised of enthusiastic TEA members have created a series of great awards shows — each one topping the previous.

The Thea Awards are now internationally recognized as the equivalent of an Academy Award in the themed entertainment industry. Each year over a hundred highly qualified achievements from all over the world compete for between �� and �8 awards. Traditional awards include:

• The Buzz Price Thea Award for a Lifetime of Outstanding Achievements

• The AOA (Award for Outstanding Achievement) – Any Category

• The AOA for Achievement on a Limited Budget – Any Category

• The AOA for Technological Achievement

• The Thea Classic Award (Recognizing an achievement, usually an attraction, that has stood the test of time)

But the overriding objective remains to find excellence and celebrate it — a search for projects that call attention to the excellence that exists throughout our industry.

As we look to the future, the Thea Awards will continue to grow, evolve and change, never forgetting their original objective of bringing recognition to achievement, talent and professional personal excellence within our themed entertainment industry.

As a child, Garner Holt was so amazed by a Wonderful World of Disney episode of the Haunted Mansion, and by “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln,” that he decided he would create animatronics for a living. To make a long story short, he now makes amazing animatronics, parade floats, and other fantastic scenery and theming elements. Do you like the new Little Mermaid attraction at Disney California Adventure? Haunted Mansion Holiday? Did you like the floats for Walt Disney’s Parade of Dreams for the 50th Anniversary? Do you like everything that moves when you hit it on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters? That’s Garner Holt.

Here’s the twist–Garner has never been an Imagineer. Nor has he ever been an official Disney Cast Member. He’s what you call an outside contractor. But as he so successful at producing work that meets Disney’s rigorous quality that he has become a key contractor for Disney, essentially part of the Disney team. And with that, he gets to do some of the most amazing and fun projects–not just for Disney but for many other parks, restaurants, and exhibits.

Following his early teenage years of creating simple animated figures and moving props for backyard haunted houses and school

projects, Garner L. Holt founded the company that bears his name in July �977, at age �6, in his hometown of San Bernardino, CA. He was still in high school and the fledgling company was started in his parents’ garage. Garner Holt Productions, Inc. (GHP) has since grown to over 60,000 square feet of design and manufacturing space spread throughout a three building, multi-acre creative campus and employs dozens of engineers, artists and technicians. Garner is the world’s leading authority on animatronics history, technology, and emerging techniques.

Of course that didn’t happen overnight. Let’s back up several decades to when Garner was �8. He applied to Disney’s MAPO division where all of the mechanical animation was then manufactured. His portfolio showed animated figures that he had been building since age ��, but was told “Disney has all the professional animation builders it needs.” Broken-hearted, Garner expanded his small operation over the years, building animations and shows for clients worldwide. Garner Holt Productions is now the world’s largest animation show manufacturing operation. And all this by a youngster who turned down his parents’ offer of free college tuition just so he could proceed with his own dream.

After more than three decades of business, GHP is the internationally recognized leader in the design and manufacture of animatronic figures, show and ride systems, show action equipment, special effects, and sets and scenery. Under Garner’s creative direction, the company has built nearly 5,000 animatronic characters, from songbirds to dragons, giant horses to jelly fish, and pirates to presidents. Almost 500 of these figures were created for Disney theme parks around the world. GHP has created over 475 animatronic shows for Chuck E. Cheese restaurants. Through years of creative and technological developments, the company Garner founded as a teenager now stands at the forefront of entertainment, educational, and scientific advances in its unique field. Clients include such prestigious names as The Walt Disney Company, Universal Studios, MGM, Knott’s Berry Farm, NASA, Lockheed Martin, Chuck E. Cheese, Coca-Cola, Mutual of Omaha, Nike, Mattel, and McDonald’s restaurants, among hundreds of others.

Garner and GHP have received numerous awards throughout his career, including the Themed Entertainment Association’s �0�4 Buzz Price Thea Award for lifetime achievement, the �0�� Inland Empire District Small Business Person of the Year Award,

Ernst & Young Technology Entrepreneur Award of �006 presented by the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship, �000 Cal State University San Bernardino Entrepreneur of the Year, �00� Leader of Distinction, and eighteen Thea Awards for outstanding theme park attractions, in addition to dozens more for both entrepreneurship and creative achievement. He currently serves on the Board of Governors and the Board of the College of Arts and Letters at California State University San Bernardino, and is president of G.D.H. Ministries, a California 50�(c)� organization.

Whatever you want to do with your life, know that you can become so much better than the very best in your business that in time you become the very best in your business. Not easy, but it can be done. To that end, take Garner’s advice–put enough perseverance and focus on your dreams, and they will come true.

“Garner—your story—establishing and growing a great business—is

an inspiration!” – Marty Sklar

Where the Birds Sing Words & the Flowers Croon

In �96�, Disneyland opened a new attraction--”Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room”--which, from the first utterance of “wahine e o keonimana,” ushered in a new era of themed entertainment.

The perfect marriage of technology and entertainment, the groundbreaking attraction featured the first use of Audio-Animatronics technology, a three-dimensional animation system that brought to life the show’s cast of ��5 talking birds, singing flowers and chanting tiki idols. The Enchanted Tiki Room laid the groundwork for a new age of theme park attractions starring swashbuckling pirates, friendly cars and even the presidents of the United States of America. Today, more than 50 years later, the Tiki Room continues to enchant Disneyland guests every day.

The idea for the attraction was the merging of two concepts Walt Disney and his Imagineers had been working on for several years. The first began with Walt’s purchase of a small mechanical bird in a cage from an antique store in New Orleans (it can still be seen in working condition at the Walt Disney Archives). Impressed with its delicate capacity to sing and move, he brought it back to

his stable of Imagineers at WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering) for them to analyze and recreate in other forms with current technology. Magnetic recording tape was used to synchronize movements and audio that could be rewound and replayed to exact duplication throughout multiple shows a day. This combination of animation and sound was dubbed Audio-Animatronics technology.

The second idea was for a new dining complex straddling the border between Main Street, U.S.A. and Adventureland that would feature three restaurants: the Plaza Pavilion, the Tahitian Terrace and the first reservation-only eatery at Disneyland. Referred to in a �96� pamphlet as “The Bird Room,” this restaurant would feature realistic birds that performed right over the tables of diners. After a mock-up of the idea on a soundstage at the Walt Disney Studios, it became clear that diners would become so enamored with the animated birds and flowers that they would never finish their meals in a timely manner. Capacity at the restaurant would be too low to make it work.

The restaurant was designed in a cross shape with four wings and a central open serving space, so Imagineers simply removed the

tables, reconfigured the chairs into a theater in the round (the original restaurant chairs continued to be used in the attraction at Disneyland for several years), added a fountain where the serving area was and reimagined the concept as a show that would host three performances an hour.

The quality of the attraction should come as no surprise, given that it was designed and developed by a who’s who of Imagineering legends, all under the watchful eye of Walt Disney himself. Among those contributing were John Hench, Collin Campbell, Rolly Crump, Harriet Burns, Joyce Carlson, Glendra Von Kessel, Lee Toombs, Marty Sklar, Roger Broggie, Wathel Rogers, Bill Cottrell and, in his first major project after coming over from animation, Marc Davis. They were assisted by Studio story writer Larry Clemmons, songwriter Jimmie Dodd (who had been the head Mouseketeer on the �950s television show The Mickey Mouse Club), Disney staff composer George Bruns and writers and performers Wally Boag and Fulton Burley, who at that time were starring in the “Golden Horseshow Revue” at Disneyland.

The final piece of the puzzle was provided by the songwriting team of Richard and Robert Sherman, who were asked by Walt to write a song that explained the whole show. Not only did they write the now familiar and famous “The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room,” they suggested the song be sung by a colorful parrot who would also host the show. Walt went them one better. He suggested four parrots, each with a different nationality and personality. The

result was Pierre, Fritz, Michael and José, whose awakening by a Tiki Room cast member starts the show.

Unlike most of the attractions at Disneyland at that time, the Tiki Room was owned and operated by Walt Disney himself. That meant admission was not included in Disneyland ticket books. Guests had to purchase a separate 75¢ ticket (50¢ for children) during the first of operation until ownership of the attraction changed and the show became an “E” coupon Disneyland attraction. To attract passers-by that first year, an Audio-Animatronics “Barker Bird” was installed outside the entrance to “pitch” the show. Unfortunately, he proved to be a little too successful as admiring guests blocked the entrance to Adventureland and he was subsequently removed.

The original Enchanted Tiki Room show was �7 minutes. In the �990s, one of the songs was trimmed and the show was shortened to under �4 minutes, enabling more shows to be performed each day. In �005, as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Disneyland, the attraction underwent an extensive restoration that included a digitally remastered score, new sound system, and updated infrastructure.

For over fifty years, the birds in Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room have been exhorting us to “sing like the birdies sing,” and just like the original caged bird Walt bought all those years ago, they show no signs of stopping.

Here you are, sitting at your designated place of honor in the Ballroom of the Disneyland Hotel, about to enjoy the Thea Awards Gala. You’re probably anticipating the presentations, wondering who will be here or trying to remember everyone’s name. Or you’re reading this some time after the Gala has taken place.

One thing you’re NOT ruminating on is “Who was the galvanizing force that made all this possible? Who facilitated the transformation of hundreds of submittals into a reasonable number of nominations, and then caused a group of of industry members to agree, and then choose the Thea Awards recipients?”

Her name is Karen McGee and she is abundantly worthy of the �0�4 TEA Service Award for dedication and service above and beyond the call of duty.

Let me describe Karen’s job, so you can compare it to your own.

Every year Karen takes each nomination (all ��5 to �75 of them), numbers every piece of documentation, watches and times each submitted video, enters it in a database and properly files it away. Now that everything is submitted electronically, Karen still must track the on-line stuff so that everything is received and checked prior to the Awards Committee’s first meeting in August. Then Karen’s job is to facilitate the meetings, make sure everyone has a parking space, prepare the agenda, and the most important part -- LUNCH! Yes, she also feeds everyone at every meeting. Each meeting involves �8,495 pesky details, and she makes sure each one is worked out. She even helps prepare and present the final recipient slate to the TEA International Board for their final approval. Once approved, the recipients are announced at IAAPA each year. Karen then sends letters to all carryover projects and to projects that are no longer eligible, thanking them for their participation. Then she files everything away until the next year.

Did I mention she also has a second full-time job? She is the Executive Assistant to Bob Rogers, the BR of BRC Imagination Arts. Bob is a Thea Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient. He is also a highly-caffeinated, slightly scattered, often demanding, fair (usually) boss who tasks Karen with keeping his schedule, writing letters and memos, booking his travel, answering his phone, remembering everyone’s birthdays and kids’ names, occasionally feeding everyone in the office, and constantly tracking the other �8,495 pesky daily details involved in running a successful business. He confidently expects Karen will do everything flawlessly the first time and is grateful for her contribution to the success of BRC.

Did I mention that she has a third (!) full time job in her private life? She has been an active member of the sorority Beta Sigma Phi for �9 years, supporting philanthropic statewide projects -- Cystic Fibrosis, Bay Area Lupus, Scleroderma and Stanford Kidney Research. Just in her home area of the Santa Clarita Valley, the sorority supports Family Promise, Bridge-to-Home Shelter, Single Mother’s Outreach, Breast Cancer and many other worthy causes.

Karen has been married to her husband, Chris, for �5 years. They have a �� year old daughter Kaitlyn and will graduate from Cal State Fullerton in May. Kaitlyn has been drag-racing since she was 8 years old. You didn’t mis-read that last sentence. Drag racing! She inherited her love for motorsports from her father. Karen hopes this is a phase, but Kaitlyn is about to start racing a Super Comp dragster, so we’ll see.

But here’s the thing -- Karen does all these things graciously, calmly and with a very light touch. Her job is like that of an NHL hockey goalie -- you never get praised for the saves, you only get blamed when things go wrong. And yet she’s always a pleasure to work with. Karen serves, and finds pleasure in that service, and that pleasure is infectious. She is a joy to work with.

This Award reads, “The Distinguished Service Award is presented annually in recognition of a TEA member’s outstanding contributions ‘above & beyond the call of duty’ to the Association.” Frankly, the award should read as follows:

“To Karen McGee, for ��-Plus Years of Distinguished Service Doing Everything For Everyone Around Her, That No One Else Wants to Do But Somebody Has To Do and For Doing This With Grace, Good Humor, Integrity, and an Unerring Sense of How To Select A Tasty Lunch Everyone Will Like.”

BY RICH PROCTER, SENIOR WRITER, BRC IMAGINATION ARTS

TEA DISTINGUISHED SERVICE HONOREE:KAREN MCGEE

��

It’s hard to believe that we are celebrating the �0th anniversary of the Thea Awards. Looking back, I particularly remember the fourth annual Thea Awards Gala in �997, which was held in the elegant Crystal Ballroom at the Beverly Hills Hotel. There were perhaps �75 or so in attendance, but it felt more intimate, like a convivial gathering of old friends and colleagues who just happened to be decked out in formal attire. As Pat Scanlon, one of the Thea Awards founders, observed at the time, “we all cleaned up pretty well.” By today’s standards the event was simple, presented on the ballroom’s small stage with a podium and minimal set dressing. One had the sense that this gathering felt more like the first Academy Awards dinner held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel nearly 70 years before, only much longer and significantly more expensive to attend.

Thanks to Marty Sklar and the folks at Walt Disney Imagineering, we had a professional video crew and for the first time there was IMAG and video playback of attraction clips. Live music was provided by a capable quartet. The legendary Don Iwerks was the fourth individual to be recognized as a Lifetime Achiever and Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean was the very first attraction to receive a Thea Classic Award. As was the tradition in those days, the TEA President made both the welcoming remarks and presented the awards to the recipients. I had the privilege of handling those duties, assisted by Heather Blair whose graceful and elegant presence was matched only by her strength in bringing out and holding onto the Thea trophies - which must have weighed �0 pounds each – during those long speeches.

Midway through the ceremony an executive from NASA accepted a Thea for the Apollo Saturn V attraction at the Kennedy Space Center (a BRC project). At the conclusion of his remarks, he took out a letter from his inside jacket pocket, and read a short note that offered congratulations to NASA/KSC on their attraction being honored with a Thea Award from the Themed Entertainment Association. He paused, looking up at the audience, and said, “Sincerely, (signed) Bill Clinton, President of the United States.

The pause in the room was palpable. It just hung in the air. From the stage, I clearly remember seeing the surprised look on people’s faces before the applause broke out. In that moment, something changed. Who we were and what we did mattered; it had resonance beyond the realm of self-congratulations and recognition. Sure it was symbolic (to all the cynics and jaded PR mavens; hush – be in the moment). However just like the proverbial stone tossed in a pond, the ripples traveled far ; both from within ourselves and outward to a world of storytellers and place-makers, hungry to be acknowledged.

Later that evening many of us gathered in the Polo Lounge enjoying the afterglow of a great evening with animated conversation, cocktails and cigars. There was an aura of optimism that came not from a frenzy of networking or hustling the next gig, but rather from the pleasure of being together as a community to celebrate what is best in each of us. The TEA was a family affair then, and we could only just begin to know how significant the Thea Awards would become as an international benchmark of outstanding achievement in our industry.

A Family Affair - 20 years of Thea Awardsby Peter Chernack

��

As TEA’s immediate Past President, Rick Rothschild says, “The Thea Awards have been the cornerstone of developing this world-wide recognition [of the TEA] throughout the themed entertainment industry. In recognizing excellence and achievement accomplished by a team of talented and highly skilled individuals and companies, the Thea Awards provide an annual reaffirmation of why our diverse membership and its ability to collaborate in extraordinary ways are so important to the continuing success and growth of the industry.”

Past President, Roberta Perry, noted, “Recently I was speaking with an international client who had just become familiar with the TEA and the Thea awards. He expressed ‘awe’ that our clients had won those ‘treasured’ awards and looked forward to the possibility of being honored with one in the future.”

Monty Lunde, TEA founder, stated, “The Thea Award being recognized globally as the ‘Oscar’ of themed entertainment is due in no small measure to the dedication and expertise of the Thea Nominating Committee. The committee is comprised of recipients of TEA’s Lifetime Achievement Award and a rotating group of highly respected TEA members; each year they review hundreds of submissions in order to present a slate of outstanding projects to the TEA International Board for approval. The quality of the committee’s work over the past �0 years speaks for itself and is a primary reason the award has become so prestigious.”

Clearly our TEA family has grown a bit larger over the years, embracing an international community whose outstanding work we honor today.

In closing, I know I speak for all of our past Thea Nominating Committee Chairs in expressing heartfelt thanks to Karen McGee of BRC Imagination Arts. For the past �� years she has done an extraordinary job keeping a mountain of information and materials organized for the Committee. Congratulations on being recognized for your contributions with a well deserved Distinguished Service Award.

Peter is the principal of The Chernack Group & serves as the Chair of the TEA Past Presidents Committee

REVOLUTION™ TRU-TRACKLESS™ RIDE SYSTEM(Oceaneering Entertainment Systems)

The �966 Disneyland Voyage Thru Inner Space Omnimover was the first ride system that enabled show designers to direct guest viewing directly at scenes rather than be restricted by a fixed view of the preceding ride vehicle. This was enabled by a rotating and tilting seat arrangement supported on linear track guided vehicles. In �0��, Oceaneering Entertainment Systems developed what may be the ultimate show viewing ride system of all time: one that will provide show scene presentations completely unrestrained when compared to all previous ride systems.

Eliminating completely any fixed floor track installation, allowing an economical flat floor, and using free traveling, self-powered vehicles equipped with motion base passenger seating, the Revolution™ Tru-Trackless™ Ride System will give show designers unparalleled show design freedom. No longer will a show ride experience be confined to a linear path. Travel through a show environment can be complete variable as to travel path, speed, scene viewing, and load/unload configurations.

Ride vehicles can be dispatched as soon as guests are loaded, with no waiting for other vehicles to finish loading. Individual vehicles can take differing routes through an adventure - which can provide nearly unlimited guest experiences. Shows can take advantage of ride experience re-programming at any time so that guests will be able to enjoy entirely variable individual show experiences. The Tru-Trackless™ Ride System is the show designer’s ultimate flexibility dream come true.

The vehicles are battery powered, responding to central programming commands including vehicle-to-vehicle communication through GPS positioning methods. Vehicles’ batteries are charged during load stops and do not need additional nightly charging requirements. Each vehicle is supported and propelled by fully-steered wheel assemblies. Seating sections can rotate and tilt in any direction independent of the vehicle motions.

As noted above, the developers of this system have created intelligent vehicles that can designate and navigate their own non-linear ridepaths, as well as interact with other vehicles in real time, creating ride scenarios that are different every time.

The Oceaneering Tru-Trackless™ Ride System is more than deserving of the Themed Entertainment Association Technical Breakthrough Thea Award since it will provide the entire themed entertainment industry with the ability to create a completely new level of compelling experiences nearly unconstrained by the ride systems.

MICHAEL JACKSON ONE™, MANDALAY BAY HOTEL, LAS VEGAS

This stunning, live entertainment spectacle represents an electrifying achievement for Cirque du Soleil, who have found a new creative recipe for today’s eclectic, media-centered audiences. In Michael Jackson ONE™ they’ve fused Cirque’s traditional energy with the iconic power of the King of Pop. The two make a perfect marriage; Michael was a longtime fan of Cirque’s magic, and many of his musical themes lend themselves to eclectic spectacle.

Michael Jackson ONE™ dazzles at every turn, alternating between multisensory overload and lingering poetry. The show’s creators have deconstructed Michael Jackson into his essential components, both physical and emotional. A single white glove... a fedora hat... a pair of sparkle-spatted shoes... each becomes a springboard to a segment of the show that grows from that single artifact into a mind-blowing series of images. Jackson’s eternal themes find physical expression as well: the healing of Love... the power of Belief... the glory of Unity... these grand ideas combine with Michael’s iconic visuals to remind us of humanity’s essential goodness and optimism, even in the face of unspoken sorrows and a life lived in the camera’s glare.

Innovative: Yes. The show introduces a number of first-time performance technologies, including a crazy acrobatic performed on neon green elastic straps, and a manic number in which performers hurl themselves belly-first to the stage floor, then to spring high into the air like crickets. Mapped projection certainly isn’t new, but Michael Jackson ONE™ kicks it into warp drive, wrapping the entire stage, proscenium and theater walls in a dizzying barrage of images that adroitly capture the essence of each song. And while Michael himself is present throughout the show via multiscreen projection and clever costume references, when the moment finally comes (as it must) for The Gloved One to appear in a holographic-style Pepper’s Ghost illusion, it’s done with such lyrical elegance and musical precision that Michael becomes a golden sparkling spirit, blessing the show’s dancers with his magic.

Michael Jackson ONE™ qualifies as themed entertainment because despite the somewhat traditional stage format, it reaches beyond the proscenium to immerse audiences visually, sonically and emotionally. (Cirque has been honored with Thea Awards in the past - in �998 for the “O” show, and again in �005 for the stage technology of “Ka”.)

ENCHANTED TALES WITH BELLE, MAGIC KINGDOM PARK, WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT, ORLANDO (USA)

In this interactive story adventure in the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Fantasyland expansion, guests (especially children) are invited to act out the story of Beauty and the Beast, along with characters Belle, Madame de la Grande Bouche and Lumiere the candlestick.

Entering through the cottage home and workshop of Belle’s father Maurice, guests are transported through a magic mirror to the Beast’s Castle. Once there, guests participate in a role playing reenactment of the story that combines a deceptively simple, low-tech participatory theater format with sophisticated and technically impressive effects and animation. The Magic Mirror effect as well as the Audio-Animatronics figure of Lumiere, the candlestick, are in the highest tradition of groundbreaking Disney Imagineering.

At the conclusion of the story, each member of the “cast” as well as other audience members has the opportunity to pose for a personal photograph with Belle.

This is far more than the typical character greeting experience. Disney has reached back to its storytelling roots and created

an experience that is intimate and personal in its connection to the guests, while being slyly supported by truly state-of-the-art effects and animation wizardry. While it may have been tempting to focus on more contemporary theatrical media and technology to create this experience, the daring use of absolutely simple storytelling and playacting (with background of Imagineering wizardry) creates a much stronger and more personal connection than a more programmed experience.

The participatory nature of the retelling of the story is surprisingly impactful, allowing children (and even adults) to imagine themselves in the story. The interplay between incredibly simple costumes and props and theatrical effects, animation and lighting, as well as a live interplay with “Belle” creates a truly unique invitation to suspend disbelief that will create memories many kids will carry with them for a lifetime.

What might have been a basic meet-and-greet photo opportunity has been elevated to a charming, imaginative and immersive experience, both for the guest who plays a role in the story and the rest of the observing audience. It is a creative blend of excellent design, imaginative interactivity and technical wizardry.

THE MIND MUSEUM, TAGUIG CITY, PHILIPPINES

The Mind Museum is the Philippines’ first world-class science museum. The museum features 4,900 square meters of interactive science and technology exhibitions within five major galleries and outdoor spaces. With over �50 interactive “minds-on” and hands-on exhibits, the museum presents science in a creatively unique, entertaining, and engaging way.

Visitors are welcomed by thematic sculptural gardens and wide-open spaces prior to entering five expansive galleries. The Lobby, the Introductory Hall, the Ten Most Beautiful Experiments, and the Hall of Philippine Science all serve to initiate the visitors’ museum experience.

The five galleries are organized around five stories about the collective wondering and understanding of nature through art, technology and science. The galleries are connected by crucial links dubbed as Nature’s Webways. The beautiful rendered passageways feature a variety of specialty lighting, audio-visuals and artistic exhibits to help visitors make the transitions from one to another of the intricately woven stories of the galleries.

This museum demonstrates true excellence in design and execution. Working with a US firm to master plan the museum, well over 90% of the exhibits were designed and fabricated by Filipino designers, scientists and fabricators, making it uniquely theirs. Each gallery setting is creatively themed and masterfully represented. The thematic thread and artistic treatments throughout the museum are what makes this project extraordinary by any standards.

In bringing their stories to life, the Filipino designers and artists went the extra step in expanding science into a fully experiential world, creating unusual scale, playful details and interactivity throughout. This world-class design combined with sensory-rich experiences make The Mind Museum a truly outstanding achievement in the museum category.

MARINE WORLDS CAROUSEL, LES MACHINES DE L’îLE, NANTES, FRANCE

Located on an island of the Loire River in Nantes, France, in an abandoned shipyard warehouse, one is delighted to find “Les Machines de l’ïle.” A true experimental laboratory created by two artists, François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice, it offers a fantasy world that mixes the imagination of Jules Verne with the mechanical universe of Leonardo da Vinci. An incredible collection of mechanical wonders such as the Great Elephant, which is a 50-passenger, walking mechanical elephant and the magnificent flying Heron tree, the pair have now created a stunning new addition, The Marine Worlds Carousel.

This giant, three-tiered carousel, �5m high and ��m in diameter, is incredible machinery that reawakens fairground art. In this fascinating structure dedicated to the three levels of the sea, guests will discover delightful, animated mechanical sculptures in all forms of sea life. From the giant crab and reverse propulsion squid of the seabed, the lantern fish and manta ray of the ocean depth to the jellyfish, flying fish and sailing ships on the surface of the �4 mechanical waves.

Beautiful sculptures of metal and steel, these sea creatures stand on their own as pieces of art. But, they go one step further than that! Guests can board the carousel and, seated inside, operate them to move their appendages, such as fins, tails and tentacles.

Characteristics: Diameter ��mHeight �5mNumber of elements �5Number of seats 85Max capacity �00 guests

The unique quality of the design, the incredible and audacious nature and scale of what would otherwise be a simple carousel, its interactive elements, and most of all its sculptural sophistication and artistic vision continued to grab the attention and made a strong impression on the entire Thea Awards nominating committee.

POLYNESIAN CULTURAL CENTER, OAHU, HAWAII

The Polynesian Cultural Center opened on the Hawaiian island of Oahu in September of �96�. Since opening, the PCC has hosted over �7 million guests, including international dignitaries, presidents, kings and ambassadors from around the globe. Recently, the PCC engaged in a comprehensive planning and development effort to create new guest experiences. To this end, two major renovations were recently completed. The Gateway is a �7,000 square foot facility that provides evening buffet meal service and has been re-imagined as a grand Hawaiian hall. The second project, “Hawaiian Journey” was a repurposing of an aging giant-screen theater.

The transformation of the buffet hall (the size of a football field) into Gateway included adding new entry canopies and doors, a new color scheme and dimensional Hawaiian symbols and graphics. The exterior lighting and landscaping were also redone and are more reflective of authentic Hawaii. The interior was completely renovated and includes the addition of stately Koa wood (GFRP) columns and flame effect sconces sculpted as giant clam shells. Beneath the woven, thatch-looking ceiling, a �0 foot high by 500 foot long mural encircles the entire space and depicts a Hawaiian

King welcoming his royal Polynesian brothers and sisters to join in feast and fellowship. Renovations also included a new and more robust sound system and all-new interior lighting.

The second project, “Hawaiian Journey,” represents the repurposing of the giant-screen theater. The exterior, out-of-theme facility shell was covered and recast with the look, feel, sounds and sensibilities of an ancient volcano. By incorporating extensive rock work, waterfalls, faux painting, “breathing” steam vents and lush landscaping, the facility was completely transformed. The entry into the theater is a lava tube, with flame-effect lighting and deep, rumbling sounds that lead guests into the interior volcanic chamber (theater). From a technical perspective, a state-of-the-art, high-definition, digital 4K projection system was installed, as well as a new sound system and a new 40’ x 74’ projection screen and a full-length, motorized screen curtain for added drama. A new show lighting package was also incorporated and includes black lights to highlight painted wall graphics. The �4-minute movie is an original production about Hawaiian culture that highlights spectacular natural settings throughout the Hawaiian islands.

THEA AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT - ATTRACTION REVITALIZATION

45

Additionally, the theater’s �5� seats have 4D effects incorporated that enhance the movie experience.

The renovation and resulting transformation of the dining hall and giant-screen theater represent PCC’s full embrace of the arts and sciences associated with Themed Entertainment. The complete renovation of the facility has resulted in a significant and impactful improvement to the guest experience both visually and experientially. The transformation of the theater entry, seating and staging into a dramatic and immersive setting (with truly luxurious 4D seats!) fully engages guests. The original film production is true to the mission of the PCC in that it is a compelling story about Hawaiian

culture and ancestry and illustrates how Hawaiian traditions live on through each generation. The Gateway also utilizes the best in Themed Entertainment technologies in ways that artfully represent the Hawaiian culture and traditions, thus furthering the guest’s connection with the mission of the PCC.

In its renovation of key facility elements, the PCC very successfully brings the 50-year-old institution and its guest experience into the ��st Century.

DE VUURPROEF, HET SPOORWEGMUSEUM, UTRECHT, NETHERLANDS

Het Spoorwegmuseum (The Railway Museum) is a unique museum in the heart of Utrecht, Netherlands, that offers guests a multi-sensory experience through the history of the Dutch and European railway tradition. Fully themed exhibitions, stage shows and even rides are part of the museum’s inventive ways to engage and entertain guests during their stay. De Vuurproef (literal translation: “The Acid Test”) is a new 4D simulator attraction that offers guests a fully-themed, family-oriented experience.

Guests in the queue are divided into four groups that are linked to a number before entering a themed waiting room full of vintage railway artifacts. Each number corresponds to painted numbers on the floor in the pre-show. Based on these numbers each guest is assigned to a task that has to be fulfilled during the simulation. After seeing the instruction movie, guests continue into a dimly lit space, where they enter one of four richly themed Jules Verne-

esque locomotives. In these motion-base locomotives, guests experience a high-speed journey through many different habitats and time periods. At certain moments during the simulation, participation by the guest, such as speeding up or slowing down the train, influences the simulation when a specific task is mentioned. The entire project was created on a limited budget.

This museum attraction demonstrates true excellence in design and execution. Highly detailed finishes and props, ambient lighting, special effects and media, make for a rich and visually very consistent experience. It successfully engages the public in a way not usually seen in museum attractions. The thrill and excitement experienced by fully engaging visitors is akin to a theme park experience, while also reinforcing the message of the railway museum at the same time. While entertained, visitors experience the responsibilities of being at the controls of a powerful locomotive.

MYSTIC MANOR, HONG KONG DISNEYLAND

Mystic Manor at Hong Kong Disneyland Park is a highly-themed, ride-through attraction combining extensive and ingenious projection mapping, Audio-Animatronics technology and other, one-of-a-kind, special effects to tell a charming, original story with state-of-the-art excellence.

Lord Henry’s compatriot, a mischievous monkey named Albert, opens a newly arrived music box reputed to possess strange powers. A magical melody (created by award winning composer Danny Elfman) escapes the box as a ribbon of mystical energy (known as Music Dust). Whatever the Music Dust touches – the object springs to life. Albert tries to recapture the drifting musical vapor, chasing it from room-to-room, getting deeper and deeper into trouble – and the guests follow throughout the Manor’s rare collection of artifacts, sharing in his adventure.

Guests get a front-row seat experience of the 40 visual effects created by different technologies and �6 projectors, including four ultra-high-definition (4K) projectors.

A wire-guided, trackless ride system choreographs the guest’s vehicle to follow the action with variable speeds, stopping, starting and turning to follow the action from room to room. The vehicles can be positioned in any direction at any moment. As a result, guests never know in which direction the story will take them next. And with the different perspectives of the four vehicles, this highly immersive adventure full of surprises, special effects and theatrical wonders is highly repeatable.

Mystic Manor signals a new generation of possibilities in the integration of projection mapping with ride technology, audio-animatronics and other special effects. Ride creators everywhere will be studying and borrowing technical ideas from this project. But Mystic Manor doesn’t just exemplify the highest standards of technical excellence. Amid the technical breakthroughs, the ride creators never lost their rigorous focus on the beautifully told story. Mystic Manor exemplifies the seamless integration of the latest technology with true state-of-the-art storytelling.

TITANIC BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND

Titanic Belfast, the World’s Largest Titanic Visitor Experience, opened its doors to the world on �� March �0��, marking �00 years since the completion of the world’s most famous ocean liner.

The unique and iconic structure was almost �0 years in the planning, and following its three-year construction period became Belfast’s most famous landmark. Standing at the height of the ship’s superstructure, Titanic Belfast represents a turning point in Northern Ireland’s history, and a reason to visit for people from all over the world. Titanic Belfast is one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects.

Having welcomed over 500,000 visitors in just over 5 months from opening, 75,000 over the anticipated annual target, Titanic Belfast now stands at the heart of destination marketing for brand Belfast, brand Northern Ireland and brand Ireland. It is also a symbol of confidence, acting as a popular backdrop for both national and international product launches, events and conferences.

Titanic Belfast was designed as a multi-streamed business incorporating the following elements:• A nine gallery interpretative visitor experience• The Titanic Suites, dedicated conference and banqueting

facilities • The Andrews Gallery, a dedicated Exhibition gallery• Education facilities comprising an education/community room

and the Ocean Exploration Centre• Bistro 40� and The Galley, themed dedicated eateries

At the heart of Titanic Belfast is a fully immersive exhibition that explores Edwardian Belfast, the city that produced the famous ship, and charts the growth of the Harland and Wolff shipyard, the story of the Titanic, the people who crafted her, the passengers who sailed on her and the scientists who found her. Titanic Belfast not only tells the story of the Titanic, giving visitors the opportunity to look behind the scenes and marvel at the scale of Belfast’s innovation and industry, but seeks to dispel some of the myths and legends about the tragedy. It is a must-see for anyone

with an interest in this fascinating story - and a development of which the city can be proud.

The experience team undertook extensive research and consultation to ensure that the exhibition’s content is rooted firmly in fact, and has appeal for all audiences. Titanic Belfast uses a range of interpretative techniques to bring events to life, with oral testament, film, photographs, archival material and a range of media combined to create an engaging and thought provoking experience. Working with the architects, the Team ensured that the gallery spaces take advantage of the building’s scale and proportion. Throughout the exhibition visitors encounter individuals with stories to tell, many of them Belfast people.

The exhibition and experience combines nine galleries across five floors and includes a unique dark ride tour through the shipyard, a �D ‘cave’ that allows visitors to walk through the ship, and unique HD footage of the Titanic taken by explorer Robert Ballard after he found the wreck in �985.

If numbers could talk, they would surely say that Titanic Belfast has firmly established itself as an attraction and destination worthy of the phrases ‘successful’ and ‘sought after.’ Annual targets, as set out in the pre-opening plan have been exceeded in all key areas including:• Retail annual revenue, met ��� days after opening • Visitor numbers, met �64 days after opening• Conference and Banqueting delegate numbers, met 96 days

after opening

“Not another Titanic attraction” and “Hasn’t this story been done already?” seem to be common reactions to the Project name. The response to the first comment is “No, this is not just another Titanic attraction based on James Cameron’s version of the story, this is something quite different.” The answer to the latter question is “No, this story has not been told.”

This project starts at the very beginning of the Titanic’s journey and takes place in the shipyards where the ship was built. It is a story of the people who built her and the pride within the community her construction built. It is a compelling project architecturally, thematically and experientially. It uses theatrical techniques when and where they are needed to immerse the visitor deeper into this part of the story and respects the larger story that unfolds after the ship sets sail and eventually sinks.

From the minute they see the building (that is the height of the superstructure of the actual Titanic), the visitor will subconsciously begin to feel the enormity of the undertaking of building a ship of this scale in the early �900s.

The designs are thoughtful and do not rely on only one or two interpretive techniques, but rather a range of techniques from oral testaments, film, photographs, archival material and a range of media to engage the guests. Each space blends the technology, architecture and theming in a way that keeps the story and guest experience as a priority in the foreground.

This project embodies beautiful execution, attention to detail, sense of place and time (both in the present and in the past), visual impact, story-telling techniques and community significance.

THE SONG OF AN ANGEL, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS JAPAN, OSAKA

In Universal Studios Japan’s recreation of Gramercy Park/New York City, a nightly, seasonal overlay blends local-cultural relevance with the magic of Christmas in the big city. Playing to an audience where Western holiday pageantry and religious significance are not inbred, “The Song of an Angel” works its magic by overlaying the Japanese reverence for young love and emotional aspects of marriage onto the familiar Western music, and themes of the Christmas holiday.

Projection mapping is deployed onto the Gramercy Park facades to produce an ever-changing romantic backdrop to frame the �5-minute spectacular. It begins with a Christmas Eve marriage proposal set in the snowy hustle and bustle of New York City. Then, the wintry setting is transformed into saturated stained glass, with color and Gothic motifs creating a massive formal environment for the wedding ceremony. In the final act, the newlyweds celebrate their union and the joy of the season in a riot of iconic Christmas symbols, enhanced by guest participation (electric candles), fireworks, an enormous Christmas tree (holding the Guinness record for the greatest number of lights), and above it all, masses of angels.

The story is enacted by a large cast of nearly 50 performers, appearing first as family and city dwellers, then as cathedral choirs, and finally as angels on high trumpeting the joy of the season and love for the start of a new family.

Many productions around the globe have made great use of projected mapping on architectural facades, but what makes The Song of an Angel exceptional is the way in which mapping technology is integrated into fully-staged performance and emotional storytelling. Adding to the projection on existing facades, temporary stages and projection surfaces have been built for the show to allow the large cast to perform at all levels and areas of the massive environment. This culminates in a finale where practical roof structures add to the multi-leveled performance stages, allowing angelic performers to preside over the festivities from far above.

The depth and height of the various stages conceals dimensional sets and theatrical lifts which add to the visuals at dramatic points in the program. For example, during the “stained glass wedding ceremony,” an overarching angel performs an operatic solo, while rising up from behind the bride and groom exchanging their vows.

Music, live performance, projections, sets, costumes and pyrotechnics work together to build an emotional arc that reaches out to a culturally unique audience. This spectacular display of western traditions and customs, frames a warm story of Japanese domestic relevance. With this show Universal has defined the term “Event Spectacular” and bridged a cultural divide. This is a live performance that is stunning and emotionally engaging for all.
