| The history of Pleasure Island was so much about the theming. You'll recall that the building that housed Mannequins Dance Palace began life as a canvas fabrication works which deployed many mannequins for fittings. Subsequently, Merriweather Adam Pleasure's hair-brain scheme to build a huge locomotive required an equally large turntable to reverse the engine. |
 |
| In later years with the overgrown Island rediscovered and the building repurposed as a dance club, the turntable was deployed as a revolving dance floor and the mannequins became the theme! |
 |
| With clusters of the old mannequins deployed around the club. |
 |
| So now it seems that an actual nightclub could be returning to our Island, themed as a 30's era former airline terminal. |
 |
| An aviation theme offers so many possibilities! |
 |
| And we're already seeing Disney's Imagineers at work again! |
 |
| The possibilities are endless! |
 |
| If they could could come up with ideas using mannequins, they can certainly come up with ideas related to aviation! Because no one is more creative than Disney Imagineers! |
(Mannequins) "Second building erected on the island, this actually housed Merriweather Pleasure's famous canvas fabrication works. In the 1930s, it was converted to a soundstage for Invincible Pictures, then into a design studio and workshop for various Pleasure projects. Most notable of these was a huge locomotive powered by a combination of steam and magnetic power. A colossal turntable was installed to facilitate the work on this revolutionary product, called "Maxwell's Demon", that was intended to revolutionize world transportation.
