I'm sorry you didn't get to ride it Maj, it was there for many years and I'm sure you would've enjoyed it. Wish it was still there.<br /><br />Telstar - wow! That's cool I would've geeked on that display for sure.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-51383965544807325212010-06-12T06:42:37.570-07:002010-06-12T06:42:37.570-07:00oh, oh...TokyoMagic where can we see that drawing?...oh, oh...TokyoMagic where can we see that drawing? do i maybe have it in one of my books? i personally like the drawings most of all<br /><br /><br />i think the Hawaiians belong next to the water..its only natural, after all! reminds me a bit of the Polynesian Resort but on a very petite scale <br /><br /><br />as for George Lucas, he is one imaginative guy who doesnt seem to miss much. i would love to meet him. i have trouble thinking of something new for dinner, much less the great ideas these creative types come up with lol!<br /><br /><br />thanks so much for more on the World's Fair, Major :-)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-35530360254878504852010-06-11T16:01:38.655-07:002010-06-11T16:01:38.655-07:00I agree that cost probably had more to do with the...I agree that cost probably had more to do with the other Magic Skyway scenes not making the move to DL. I think I've read that Walt was hoping Ford would continue to sponsor it at DL the same way G.E. was going to continue sponsorship of COP. There is even an early Tomorrowland '67 drawing that shows the Ford logo at the entrance to Tomorrowland (on the right side where Inner Space and the Monsanto logo ended up going)TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-6008659343243182942010-06-11T08:28:08.015-07:002010-06-11T08:28:08.015-07:00George Lucas obviously stole the idea for R2D2 fro...George Lucas obviously stole the idea for R2D2 from Telestar, who knew!<br /><br />Hey I hear those crazy voices too!<br /><br />I wish the cave man scenes made it west too, I wonder what happened to them?Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.com
