Who in their right mind wants to photograph the silly tram when you have the whole park in front of you?

Some of the tram drivers would deliberately go faster when turning corners, so that it would feel as though you were going to "fly" off the sideways bench seat. They would also get dangerously close to the fence along Harbor Blvd. so that the vines growing on it would whip us in the face. Nice people! I've heard that they now use the old blue and yellow trams from the 60's for transporting parade cast members.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.com
