McNair Wilson is a retired Walt Disney Imagineer who coined the term “Streetmosphere” (now commonly used in the theme park industry) and created street theater performances across the Disney Parks, especially at Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios (at the time it was still called Disney-MGM Studios). McNair is also responsible for creating the name “Downtown Disney” and for creating the Adventurers Club at Pleasure Island. In addition, NcNair developed concepts for many of the Disney attractions we know and love today, most notably the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
