It's the 2nd of our 3 Disney Hollywood Studios days. Early morning Rise of the Resistance boarding group, Muppet Vision 4-D, opening time at Baseline Taphouse, and just walking around. And yes, I'm still mad that Sam the Eagle was cutoff during his spiel. Enjoy!
Do you think the First Order uses DO-18 keys?
The 2nd part of our Magic Kingdom day is spent away from the Magic Kingdom, because of course. We ride the Monorail to The Poly, visit the Tambu Lounge, and then head to EPCOT and visit Figment and World Showcase. A fun conclusion to a fun (and long) day. Enjoy!
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.
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!
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.
