Not just the Mine Train and the Pack Mules but everything on the River as well, from Twain to Canoes.

It makes no sense to keep the pumps running on a waterfall nobody could see. Or could you see them from the craft along the Rivers of America? It's been 12 years since I last saw it (indeed, since anyone last saw it) and my memory's a bit hazy on this point.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-22879319860187428052011-01-14T10:42:39.687-08:002011-01-14T10:42:39.687-08:00While they may not "do" anything, these ...While they may not "do" anything, these scenic highlights are the elements that create the immersive experience that set, at least they used to set, Disneyland far above the rest of the amusement park competition. <br />The current administration, I fear, just doesn't quite get it.

Where could such a gushing torrent originate so near to the pinnacle of a peak? It just wasn't at all true to nature. Having said that, I still wish they'd bring it back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-20375044756554074812011-01-13T01:54:37.732-08:002011-01-13T01:54:37.732-08:00I like the layering of depth they crammed into wha...I like the layering of depth they crammed into what is a deceptively small area. <br /><br />Sure would have been cool to have Big Thunder rock around the peak and see the river.
