Here's a nice detail of Cinderella's Castle from Storybook Land. It's a miniature, albiet a big one! You can still see it today, though I recommend a night visit.
And speaking of Storybook Land, here's a bird's-eye view of Monstro and the queue for that ride. Only two strollers to be seen, because in those days most people carried their babies in their back pockets. This view is pretty standard, although I do find that large empty space in the upper right to be interesting... I wonder if this was where the Junior Autopia was going to be built?
The perspective on the Mark Twain shot really does make it look like that canoe is just inches away from running into the paddle wheel. Great shot and funny commentary as always, Major. For some reason it made me think of the old Campbell's slogan for Chunky Soups....so thick you could eat it with a fork...but use a spoon. Sick, huh?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that area next to Storybook Land the location of the Midget Autopia?
Ah I always wondered what they were smokin' from those chimneys on the 'Twain. teehee.
ReplyDeleteGosh that Monstro pic looks soo early! Beware of wet paint.
Look, there are so many people on the Mark Twain, it's sagging in the middle.

ReplyDeleteWhat is that "plank" doing in the Monstro pool area balanced on a rock? Should'n that be over at the Pirate ship? Walk the plank maties!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Monstro is goin to jump out of the canal!
ReplyDeleteRun!!!
such a pretty picture of the Mark Twain
ReplyDeletethe Storybook Canal Boats was one of the rides i was really looking forward to seeing since we dont have it here at the East Coast park, and surpassed my expectations. the attention to detail is great
as for Monstro, what a cool picture. ive never seen that view before. on the picture i have of my daughter taken there in 2001, it looks like he is now "flat" in the water as near as i can tell...
