Google Earth will be starting to feature recreations of Walt Disney World's theme parks. By the end of this month, you will be able tour 3-D recreations of 1,500 restaurants, rides and attractions, as well as hotels and resorts. "It's a virtual walk-through of the whole property … the most amazing virtual tour of any place in the world," Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chairman Jay Rasulo says. John Hanke, Google Maps director, says that the project will be "truly innovative and unique".
Eight photographers photographed every inch of Walt Disney World, then those images were rendered into 3-D.
The maps will prove to be informational as well as visual. You will be able to find out height requirements, and check room rates and availability at hotels.
"It's an attempt to make the data more available to (everyday) people," he says. Google Earth "is a figurative sandbox, and anyone can jump in" and play.
The map will be available at disneyworld.com/3dparks for free on Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
