Dave Gengenbach was an imagineer who helped design the monorail system for Disney. He is my 266th pick to be named a Disney Legend. Accordingto his obiruary: Hired in 1966 as a project manager and project engineer, Gengenbach
worked his way up to vice president of Walt Disney's WED Enterprises.
During his tenure, he oversaw the Pirates of the Caribbean boat
conveyance system, directed the design and installation of Space
Mountain and worked on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride. He also
worked on the design of the Mark III and Mark IV monorail systems.
Before working at Disney, Gengenbach was an engineer with Tubular
Aircraft. His influence on the Magic Kingdom is marked by an honorary
tombstone outside the Haunted Mansion ride at the theme park.
