Great holiday gift for any true Disney fan!About MAPO MAPO was formed in the mid 1960s using some of the profits that Disney made from the movie Mary Poppins, from which MAPO ( MA ry PO ppins) got its name. MAPO was created to house the people who were working on the then-new Audio-Animatronics figures that Disney was developing, which included the singing robin in Mary Poppins and all the figures for the Disney exhibits at the 1964 World's Fair. From there, MAPO would go on to build all of the figures and show scenes for all of the Disney park attractions for many years.Over the years, MAPO built all sorts of things, from pirates to presidents, from dinosaurs to Dreamfinder, from Country Bears to Captain Rex. And so on. MAPO built ride vehicles, and even whole ride systems. MAPO built the locomotives and passenger cars of the Fort Wilderness Railroad. If it was at a Disney park, MAPO probably built it.
