J...Peter, it IS a good one, if I do say so myself!<br /><br />Jeff Baham, it's funny, these days we look back on the construction of Disneyland as a miracle, and at the time they were just trying to get the damn thing done. I'm sure they never imagined that in 50 years, other people would want to watch movies of the construction! And yes, '55 was a long time before anybody was worried about things like asbestos or other nasty particulates.<br /><br />Rich T., I get the feeling you're trying to tell me something. BUT WHAT? ;-)<br /><br />Thufer, Bill in Denver, and Tom, thank you!<br /><br />K. Martinez, you will get no argument from me. Of course by '98, the rocket was long gone anyway, but why did they have to move the Rocket Jets?<br /><br />Viewliner & JG, you both have impeccable taste!!<br /><br />Melissa, I can't ever picture Madonna wearing such a conservative outfit.

One thing Tony found to be amusing was the methods used to apply mica to the Tomorrowland walls - specifically the one with all the orbs attached. Painters were just blowing that shimmery mica dust all over the walls with no respirators, masks, or any precaution whatsoever. It was almost discomfiting to watch.Jeff Bahamhttp://www.mousetalgia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-75879511302869095102012-08-08T04:31:58.763-07:002012-08-08T04:31:58.763-07:00Great shot!Great shot!pete naegelehttp://thettc.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
