Both Toontown Online and its game engine (called Panda3d) were developed by Disney's Virtual Reality Studio, a team of technologists and artists at Walt Disney Imagineering that is now managed by the Walt Disney Internet Group. The VR Studio had previously created virtual reality attractions for the DisneyQuest "indoor interactive theme park" at Walt Disney World.[3] Beta testing for Toontown occurred between 2001 and 2003, and Toontown was officially launched on June 2, 2003.[1]
