On October 21, 2003, Walt Disney World Railroad Steam Engine #3, the Roger E. Broggie was re-dedicated in honor of the late, longtime Disney Imagineer Roger Broggie, who was named a Disney Legend in 1990.
Animator-Imagineer Marc Davis designed the attraction and characters in the form of drawings and models over a five-years period.
In a featurette of the ride, as shown on the DVD release of the film's 70th anniversary, the head Disney Imagineer, Tony Baxter even noted that the new ride looked like one of Gepetto's inventions.
Ton van de Ven, who designed many of Efteling's attractions, is also a good friend of Disney's Tony Baxter (senior vice president of Walt Disney Imagineering).
Howard Braham is an Imagineer Imagineer, 'alleged' inventor and 'dunkels' who counts among his creations the peer to peer file swapping system known as Kugel (named after the popular Jewish pasta dish) and the increasingly popular lounge game Couch and Fall, a well-known sport at Colombian universities.
His work has included the creation of an animated Haunted Mansion tombstone at the Magic Kingdom attraction, which pays homage to Imagineer Leota Toombs, who supplied the face of Madame Leota.
The design was developed by legendary Disney Imagineer Bob Gurr.
In 2011, Disney imagineer Tony Baxter presented a slideshow of the concept drawings and models at D23 Expo.
He was a Disney artist from 1938 until 1965, when he became an Imagineer to help design the Disneyland Railroad's Primeval World diorama segment.
