Disney Imagineering Legend Bob Gurr is staying busy in retirement. According to a post on Bob’s Facebook page, he will be linking up with Pawn Stars‘ Rick Harrison to possibly sell or provide information on one of the original Skyway buckets.
The 88-year-old former Imagineer was awarded Disney Legend status in 2004 after a near 40-year-run with Walt Disney Imagineering. He is the living embodiment of his favorite moniker, “While alive, live!” Bob is credited with designing many, if not all, of the ride vehicles for Disneyland. Some of the notable credits include the Autopia car, Haunted Mansion Doombuggy, Disneyland Monorail, Matterhorn Bobsled, and the submarines for the Submarine Voyage attraction.
We don’t have any details on what Bob will be doing for or with Rick on the upcoming Pawn Stars episode, but we are excited nevertheless. Do you think that Bob is selling a Skyway bucket, or do you think he is helping Rick appraise?
We can see by the marker, that this was filmed February 25th with Bob posing in front of the original Skyway bucket.
