As the story goes Walt asked Herb to help him draw the first map of Disneyland. The Catch they had one weekend to do it so Walt's brother Roy could take it on Monday to New York to show The bankers to get the funding. The other catch no one knew what Disneyland looked like. Apart from a few simple sketches, Walt had done this was a truly blank canvas. Well the weekend came and went and below we see what we got. A map that would shape the world of themed entertainment for years to come. A new concept for a park the Hub System. having a central location to branch off from. Also the use of a weenie. Yeah a weenie that's Walt's term for a central Icon to draw your eye and give you a reference point to know where you are. Also the Idea of themed lands. Apart from a western town here and there Parks didn't have every area of a park themed to a cretin idea. And so the Theme Park was Born.
