1991 Walt Disney World Evaluates Parasailing In 1991, Wayne Mitchell, the senior executive safety director for Walt Disney World resorts, contacted Mark McCulloh to evaluate Walt Disney Worlds interest in expanding watersports on Bay Lake; more particularity parasailing using a the Gondola equipped winchboat in a designated area on Bay Lake (see map). Disney wanted McCulloh to assist them with implementing a parasailing program and overcoming the committees concerns that a large boat would interfere with their 2 passenger sport boat traffic. McCulloh provided Mitchell and key Disney executives with an evaluation study as well as provided a Winchboat for demonstration purposes on Bay Lake.
Mr. Wayne Mitchell wrote the training and safety manuals for Walt Disney, NAUI (National Association of Underwater Scuba Instructors) and a "Defensive Boating Course" for law enforcement officers on the waterways. He was on the Board of Directors for NAUI and listed as one of the top 99 scuba instructors in the United States. He also received the National Safety Council's "Distinguished Service to Safety Award." He received national awards from The National Safe Boating Council, U.S. Coast Guard, the and NAUI.
