Rainbow Ridge Two-Fer Tuesday



Here are 2 from the old western town of Rainbow Ridge, located in a corner of Frontierland. Shot #1 is from July 1967, and shows some of those newfangled settlers up above riding those durn pack mules. Shot #2 is undated (most likely 1950’s) and gives you a birdseye view of RR.

I wonder if the lights came on inside Rainbow Ridge's buildings in the evening? If so, it would be awesome to find a nice photo of that....

The lights DID come opn at night. And soundtracks played. In particular, I remember hearing the sounds of drilling and shrieking coming from the Dentist's office window.

That second picture is "most likely 1950’s"? I think we can say definitely that it's pre-1959, because there is no trace of the Matterhorn, not even a girder framework, and it would be unmissable in the picture if it were there, so it HAS to be before the Matterhorn was constructed.

Great shot.
