LOS ANGELES - Funeral services were pending for Rolly Crump, a longtime Disney Imagineer who played a key role in the early design of Disneyland and Walt Disney World, most notably on attractions such as the Haunted Mansion and Enchanted Tiki Room.A native of Alhambra, Crump joined Disney in 1952 as a"dipper" in a ceramic factory, working on weekends building sewer manholes to make ends meet.
Born Roland Crump, he became known as Rolly primarily thanks to Walt Disney's inability to remember his name. Crump later worked on initial designs for the Magic Kingdome at Walt Disney World in Florida, also contributing designs for EPCOT Center, but he continued working on master planning for an expansion of Disneyland until 1981.
