Editing Forced perspective (section)

====[[Theme parks]]====
Forced perspective is extensively employed at theme parks and other such architecture as found in [[Disneyland Park (Anaheim)|Disneyland]] and [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], often to make structures seem larger than they are in reality where physically larger structures would not be feasible or desirable, or to otherwise provide an [[optical illusion]] for entertainment value. Most notably, it is used by [[Walt Disney Imagineering]] in the [[Walt Disney Parks and Resorts|Disney Theme Parks]]. Some notable examples of forced perspective in the parks, used to make the objects bigger, are the castles ([[Sleeping Beauty Castle|Sleeping Beauty]], [[Cinderella's Castle|Cinderella]], [[Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant|Belle]], [[Castle of Magical Dreams|Magical Dreams]], and [[Enchanted Storybook Castle|Enchanted Storybook]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://duchessofdisneyland.com/tips-trivia/forced-perspective/|title=Forced Perspective|date=2014-06-05|website=Duchess of Disneyland|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-23}}</ref> One of the most notable examples of forced perspective being used to make the object appear smaller is [[The American Adventure (Epcot)|The American Adventure]] pavilion in Epcot.
