Unlike most documentaries, the filmmakers developed a script similar to a narrative feature, complete with characters. And like most narrative features, the script was the foundation for the film. All images and shots came second. In order to bring the parks' personalities to life, the story of each park is narrated by a different actor whose character reflects the park. The parks' stories are then woven throughout time, all connected by one central narrator. As finishing writer Garry Michael Kluger commented on the script, "When I first came on board, the producers handed me a script they thought was risky. When I read it, I told them they were right, it was risky -- but incredibly innovative -- and that makes all the difference."
