Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE it if they did it. But a new peak wouldn't draw in customers, meaning it wouldn't put money in the Disney company's bank account. And thanks for the nice comment!<br /><br />K. Martinez, I think these might have been taken from Tom Sawyer Island, but I'm not sure. The Gullywhumper pic is a beauty!<br /><br />JG, I wish I knew more about the exact history of the Keelboats… how many were there? When were they retired? Stuff like that.<br /><br />Former Canoe CM, I believe you!<br /><br />Tom, is that "Ariel" up on top, toward the stern?Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-7775813125667580822013-05-14T16:21:09.878-07:002013-05-14T16:21:09.878-07:00Looks like Ariel on the top deck of the Gullywhump...Looks like Ariel on the top deck of the Gullywhumper.

From the viewpoint, it seems that some of these may have been shot from a canoe, hard to do when you are supposed to be paddling.<br /><br />Lost images.

It could be designed to let the canoes sail behind the waterfalls and maybe encounter a lurking Mike Fink or other river critters.<br />Thanks for these pictures Major(you can almost smell the water spray and the trees), and for the treasure trove you've shared for 7 years!Raimundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223388643632253862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-80554581087623730322013-05-14T07:02:29.399-07:002013-05-14T07:02:29.399-07:00Alonzo, if only you knew how many photos of Cascad...Alonzo, if only you knew how many photos of Cascade Peak were taken by my friend, in order to get the best shot!
