It was all concrete back then. They really did improve it in 1983. It looks wonderful now. I don't agree with everything Disneyland does in terms of changing attractions, but for the most part it is usually an improvement. It is too bad they can't reopen a small version of the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland. I know they have about two acres or more in the back behind Thunder Mountain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-66674177047904444632010-07-31T04:57:57.506-07:002010-07-31T04:57:57.506-07:00these too much look like the kind of days that mak...these too much look like the kind of days that make them decide to close a place because there is not enough interest and business to keep it going anymore<br /><br />the first one is nice, so colorful, and the area behind those pretty benches reminds me of a puppet show. <br /><br />and what is that storybook telling there to the far rear left? dont remember seeing it beforeNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-84087175161703842692010-07-30T10:14:13.448-07:002010-07-30T10:14:13.448-07:00First pic has an Outer Limits feel to it...
