Skyway and Matterhorn, June 1962

I have two Skyway pix, and they are not that unusual as far as subject matter goes, but they are also pretty nice to look at. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the squirrels were looking at us with their weird tiny eyeballs... it was a perfect day. I like the colors of the gondolas, and the Astro Jet that has snuck in to the left, and the dramatically-slanted roof of the Yacht Bar. Slanted roofs have been proven to increase hunger by 18%! 


Closer... closer...! The yellow Mark II Monorail is gliding past the Matterhorn chalet, hopefully tooting its air horn. Wha-whaaaa. There are no bobsleds visible, which is why I will be suing... somebody. I need to figure out who will pay me to just go away!

    Fabulous, just fabulous-! On the other hand - "There are no bobsleds visible, which is why I will be suing..." Please put-away that litigious pen of yours, as we can see a bobsled in the lower right-hand corner of the image as it is returning to the unload area-! See-?

    Thanks, Major.

  2. I always like Matterhorn pics; and this is a nice one! It must be the wrong time of day to see Fudgie taking his shower behind the waterfall curtain. All I can see for sure, is one of his tail flukes. The Astro Jets (there are two of them in this photo; red and blue) always remind me of porpoises... space porpoises, flying through the sky.

    A nice see through view of the Matterhorn's nostrils. That orange Gondola sure stands out!

    It was revealed recently (smuggled out the Disney vaults) that the Matterhorn is actually made of soft serve ice cream, and that there are a thousand refrigerator units employed to keep it frozen.

    Thanks, Major.
