Waste of potential there.<br /><br />I miss Shiny Boy and his dog, their rigid posture and gleaming integument was a big part of their charm. The later animatronic replacements were "too" good.<br /><br />I am trying to reserve judgment on the new River until I see it, but I'm sure something will be enough different to hurt a bit. <br /><br />These are nice pictures, Major, thank you. Not everything needs to be bright and buzzy, those quiet spots in the Park were charming, and now not too many are left.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-39697606233605738342018-03-11T17:37:23.242-07:002018-03-11T17:37:23.242-07:00There appears to be some sort of haze on that medd...There appears to be some sort of haze on that medder.

The train used to pass quite close to the tracks of NWRR and its geysers. With the tracks new location you were separated from NWRR by about half of the meadow, since the train went through pretty much its center.Patrick Devlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-25990602223405839932018-03-11T09:13:33.462-07:002018-03-11T09:13:33.462-07:00I am willing to bet that Mark Twain is the most ph...I am willing to bet that Mark Twain is the most phographed attraction at the park. Walt created a whole world within Anaheim and for a few hours one could imagine you were plying the river in a steamboat checking out the sights along the way.

Fotomat? Luxury! We saved those little envelopes that came with the coupons in the Sunday paper, where you could mail your film in for super-cheap double prints.<br /><br /><i>Did the dog have a name?
