Frontierland

I'm proud to present another selection of Frontierland scans, shared with us by the Mysterious Benefactor. Does he wear an eyepatch and a cape lined with red silk? I'll never tell!

Well. Hmmm. I'm sure somebody out there thinks that I should have skipped this particular photo, but by golly, I gotta be me! There are other nicer Disneyland blogs, right? And I am a patron of the arts, especially go-go dancing and saloon dancing.

Now we've hit a vein of photos featuring Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (or at least some signage), which was presumably the latest and greatest attraction in Disneyland (it debuted on September 7, 1979). I assume that this sign was hand-painted in the shop by a man with one of those green visors and a smock covered in splotches of pigment, and a werewolf mask. You can't eat, drink, or smoke on the ride, but they don't say anything about water balloons.

Now we get a bigger picture; I didn't know that the previous sign was just a "sub-sign", and now I look like a FOOL.

I have to admit, you will be very familiar with these signs pretty soon. This particular day must have been "Wear a Cowboy Hat" day.

Perhaps you didn't need to see so many views of the same sign, but what's done is done. Did these ladies know about "The Goat Trick" yet? It will give you the whim-whams.

In this gloomy winter photo, we can see the weather-sculpted rock formations, known as "Boo-Boos" (or something like that). The CM to the right has been instructed to stare into the middle distance as if he was a sea cap'n looking for whales, and he's doing a great job.

THANK YOU, Mysterious Benefactor!
