George M. Davison says that after listening to ideas from his employees he brought in a special effects expert and invested millions of dollars to create Inventionland, a designer's utopia that would make Walt Disney proud.

The complex is nestled inside a nondescript warehouse in a suburban industrial park. But inside employees are hard at work trying to transform inventors' ideas from the conceptual to the physical.
