Mr. Bezark has been involved in designing everything from Cirque shows to T2-3D: what is the easiest type of project to work on?
If it is not the same answer as the first question, what is the most enjoyable type of project to work on?
Which of his projects does he enjoy experiencing the most (for me it would be Spider-man or Jaws)?
Look forward to hearing the answers next week. _________________
Please extend my thanks to Mr. Bezark for many of his attractions. I a big fanboy of Spider-man, Ghostbusters, Terminator, and Jurassic Park properties and having them as rides and shows was a big thrill for me to experience. I even broke out my T2 Ultimate dvd edition that has the “making of T2-3D” short when I saw Mr. Bezark Portfolio.
For the Spider-man ride I wanted to know how much of the comic books lore was research in designing the ride. I love the “Amazing Spider-man” comic story of the “Sinister Six” and I feel the ride pay’s homage to that story line by having the Sinister Syndicate as the main villains. Where there any other ideas from the comic books that was propose?
For the lifting and falling sequence in Spider-man the ride, how man times or long did take before finding the right balance to the ride? Did anybody get vertigo or nausea during the test runs of the ride?
I was amaze by this new type of dark ride for Spider-Man. It seem this approach has never been tried before. How much “outside the box” thinking was done before coming up with a ride that world fit the Spider-Man experience. This unique way of moving with the set and adding more real effects like fire seem more like a movie come to life then just a ride. What inspiration did most of these ideas come from when doing this type of ride?
For Terminator 2-3D, I wanted to know how the idea of Skynet being a CPU Chip came about? In all the movies and TV show even the recent ones Skynet has never been shown as a physical presence. Were there ideas of having Skynet a Terminator robot itself or something else?
In the Making of T2-3D featurette James Carmon talk about the film could be a lead-in to the next Terminator movie. Well even thought T-3 was made it was not a James Carmon film. Did you have any idea as to what would have been the next Terminator movie be if James Carmon had done it base on what this attraction did for him?
With all those new Terminator robots made for the ride like T-70, Mini-Hunter, and T-one million(or T-meg). How much of those robots did James Carmon and Stan Winston come up with for the 3-D film?
For the Ghostbusters show was there and plan’s or ideas throw out to have a Ghostbusters ride?
I was a big fan of the 90’s Ghostbusters show. When a update of the show had Beetle juice involved how did that idea come about?
On Jaws the ride, any old or never used concept brought back from the Hollywood attraction to be used for the Orlando attraction?
For the end of the Jaws the ride it reminds me of the end of the Jaws 2. Was there any other idea’s on how the shark would meet its demise?
The saying goes that water attractions are hardest things to do. Was Jaws harder then Spider-Man or just the same?
On the Jurassic Park ride where did the idea of the boat ride come from? Was the idea of using the movie jeep ride concept from the movie ever consider in making of ride?
Oh man that a lot question sorry about that.
Hey is Nick at Disneyland right now? I just saw a tweet and video recently.

Hey, thanks so much to Doug and Brent for having me on the show this week! (Or, um, next week -- guess you'll have to wait until Friday or so to hear our conversation.) We had a great time talking about everything under the sun. In fact, we only got thru a few key projects (like T2, Ghostbusters and Spider-Man), so hopefully we'll be able to chat another time and talk about some of the other projects we've worked on.
And your questions were awesome! We answered a bunch, but I'm happy to chat further any time. When the podcast comes out, please feel free to ask follow-up questions, or bug me if we didn't get to yours.
Thanks again to D&B and the listeners - like every good themed attraction, tonight's discussion was a great adventure.
Cheers,
