Next stop: The Magic Kingdom. The first half of the day was spent riding rides and enjoying lunch at Skipper Canteen (not pictured here). Then we went to the Polynesian and Epcot, but that's the next video. Here's too much Small World, some Seven Dwarfs, and a lot of Peoplemover. Yes, I left in a lot of Peoplemover footage. I miss it. Enjoy.
Our June 2021 WDW Trip, Part 2! DSH | Mickey & Minnie, Skyliner, Rise, Lounges, more
And as soon as we get to day 2, I start to make videos that are too long. Oh well. I'll like it in the future when I can't remember the trip anymore. We arrived at Disney's Hollywood Studios at opening, rode a couple of rides, went to a lounge and lunch, obtained a boarding pass to Rise of the Resistance, and rode more rides. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway! Alien Swirling Saucers! Tower of Terror! And so much more! Enjoy!
Magic Mountain Mondays #8: Freefall
State of the art drop-ride technology, circa-1983. I was a fan, but it was rough. And it had an operator panel that resembled the section 7-G nuclear power plant control panel from The Simpsons.
In August of 1995, I took a bunch of photos (on film no less) at Six Flags Magic Mountain using an inexpensive camera. I was working as an Operations supervisor at the time, and the purpose of the project was to create a slide show for an employee appreciation party for our Operations staff. I’ve carted these slides around for over 25 years and I finally had them digitally transferred this year. About 2/3s of them aren’t available for posting because they are crew pictures and I have no way to request permission to post them. But I do have 50+ available that are just various shots of the park. Enjoy this time capsule from August 1995.

Just an old punk, watching Bad Religion play to an empty Roxy, hoping to see them live again soon. #decades
Magic Mountain Mondays #7: Jet Stream
An integral part of the Jet Stream experience (especially if you are working there) is the loading station turntable. If only I had a FitBit at the time. Oh and fun game when it’s winter and no one wants to ride: re-arrange the boats in numerical order or group them by color.
