Submarine Loading Dock, August 1968
Tomorrowland, circa 1968...looks like the photographer is just about to board one of the submarines (while the one in front of it is about to let loose its passengers). I am really looking forward to the return of the submarine attraction...as a kid, there was nothing as exciting as going down the ladder, getting to your seat, and then anxiously staring at the wall (covered in barnacles and the occasional sea star) waiting for the ride to begin. It really was like nothing else!
Another sub is returning from its dangerous journey through liquid space (I don't care if that sea serpent was crosseyed, it scared me!). I loved the use of the waterfall, it looked great if you were standing in line, and when you were on board, it created a mass of bubbles that added to the illusion that you had returned to the surface.
Don't get me started on the peoplemover, I just want it back!
I thought I'd throw in this photo of the sea serpent even though it's not the greatest quality...just for fun! (Sorry for the late post, blogger would not let me update last night...)

Major- I like the picture of the Sea Serpent. All the underwater scenes were difficult to take pictures of and he turned out pretty good!
Hi, I have a photo ca 1957 of Black Bart in Frontierland. I'm happy to share it if you point out where I could send it...via email.

Obviously use the @ symbol in place of the word "at", and you're good to go. Thanks very much!
No - that's a GREAT shot of the Sea Serpent! Very rare...
Awww. How cute. But he looks like he's worried. And maybe he's cross-eyed, but no wonder you were scared. Can't trust him. He has a forked tongue.
Isn't his name Nessy?
