 | | John is probably most famous for his latest work at Alton Towers creating Oblivion and Nemesis and for 2002 AIR (SW5), but he also has completed other work for Alton Towers, Chessington, and Oakwood Park in the UK. |
 | | John was impressed by the animatronic figures that he had seen on visits to the Disney theme park in America and wished to use the technology, but the cost was prohibitive, assuming Disney would even consider selling the technology. |
