Here's the famous Leaning Rocket. There's not much to say about it that I haven't said before. Did you know it was made entirely out of white chocolate? Years later, it wasn't removed, it was eaten. There's footage of it somewhere, I swear.
I wonder if this was taken first thing in the morning? There is absolutely nobody in line, and all of the Jungle Cruise launches are lined up, apparently ready to go (there is a cast member in each boat). Note that the sign says "Adventureland", it was soon changed to "Jungle Cruise".
I love these early views of Frontierland, when the place looked new and undeveloped. There really wasn't much of anything built on the entire west edge of this land, as you can see. Just some train tracks, an Indian Village, and what looks like the path for the Stage Coach and the Conestoga Wagon.
Wow that is a pretty lazy day on the Rivers of America. I think the crowd is at the Flight Circle watching the flying display. Coxpilot- was that the usual crowd for your demonstrations?
ReplyDeleteAnother group of totally awesome pictures. And of course what can I say about the Moonliner. Beautiful. Thanks Major
ReplyDeleteYes! That looks like about average. They congregated even more on the other side of the circle in the afternoon because of the shade created by the trees and the building that housed the Art Corner. And, then when HobbyLand went in (just in front of Crane's bathroom of the future) it got REALLY crowded.
