You’ll soon be able to get an exclusive look at the cutting-edge technologies found in Orlando’s theme parks and theme parks around the world with a Behind The Themes tour series.

These various tours of Orlando companies who provide artistic and mechanical wizardry to theme parks will offer people the opportunity to see how rides and attractions are created.

The Behind The Themed tours are being presented by and will help support Give Kids The World Village, which provides dream vacations for critically ill children and their families.

Tours have been scheduled at Sally Corporation, Bob’s Space Racers and Skyline Attractions, with more being added in the coming weeks. Each of the tours are $50 and include lunch and an opportunity for a Q&A with the leadership of the companies.

Here is the schedule:

Sally Corporation (June 30, 2018, at 10:30 a.m.): Founded in 1977, Sally Corporation began as an animatronic production company to help market corporate brands in a unique and entertaining way. Since then, Sally has evolved into the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of animatronics and so-called “dark rides” — indoor rides that carry guests past a series of sets.

Bob’s Space Racers (Aug. 21, 2018, at 10 a.m.): Bob’s Space Racers offers over 40 years of experience providing games and management services throughout the world. Since 1971, when they developed Whac-A-Mole, Bob’s Space Racers have been creating new and exciting games.

Skyline Attractions (Sept. 15, 2018, at 10 a.m.): Based in Orlando, Skyline Attractions strives to be the premier manufacturer of quality, American-built rides. The company sold its Skywarp, one of the amusement industry’s most anticipated new attractions, to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California,
which is set to open this year as Harley Quinn Crazy Coaster.
