Bob Gurr Autographs
Robert Henry Gurr (born October 25, 1931) is an American amusement ride designer and Imagineer. His most famous work was for Walt Disney's Disneyland Park, and its subsequent sister parks. Gurr is said to have designed most, if not all, of the ride vehicles of Disneyland's oldest attractions, including Autopia, Main Street Vehicles, the Disneyland Monorail, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Submarine Voyage, and the Haunted Mansion. He was named a Disney Legend in 2004. He also worked on the King Kong Encounter animatronic for Universal Studios Hollywood.
Gurr was born in Los Angeles in 1931 and raised in the community of Glendale, California. According to Gurr, he would skip school and sneak into the nearby Grand Central Airport to study and sketch the aircraft. Gurr studied industrial design at the Los Angeles ArtCenter School on a scholarship from the General Motors, graduating in 1952.
Gurr moved to Detroit, Michigan, to work in automotive design for the Ford Motor Company. After a brief unsatisfactory stint with Ford, he returned to Los Angeles and started his own company: R.H. Gurr Industrial Design. Gurr was friends with Disney animator Ub Iwerks, having attended school with Iwerks' son, and Iwerks asked Gurr to design the Autopia ride vehicles for the planned Disneyland amusement park. Gurr's work quickly impressed Walt Disney and Gurr became an essential designer for WED Enterprises (Walt Disney Imagineering), designing many of the rides at Disneyland. Gurr created the bobsled cars for the Matterhorn and was the first person to test-ride the roller coaster before it was finished. In 1959, Gurr designed and oversaw construction of the Disneyland Monorail based on his sketches of a Buck Rogers-style space craft.
