Welcome to Frontierland, where the transportation has four-legs, not wheels. Let's zoom in closer for a better look at the Stagecoach:
Can you imagine Disneyland being able to have this many people crammed atop a Stagecoach today? The Legal-Eagles of the Mouse House would have to work overtime for this one.
Over at the Rivers of America, we get a rare view of the top of the Mark Twain:
A closeup of the Wheelhouse:
The little red fire pails are still atop the Twain today:

I wonder if the pack mule photo was taken from the Natural Arch Bridge…?
ReplyDeleteThe first pic is very realistic looking, the vegetation and rocks, especially the Joshua Trees, are spot-on. Only the clothing of the visitors keeps it in the present day.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these were real Joshua Trees or mockups? A mockup would be easy to do since these things are practically caricatures, but these look really good.
Thank you, Dave.

Is the girl in the stagecoach wearing a plastic lei from Adventureland? It would have to be from one of the shops as Tahitian Terrace wasn't open yet.
ReplyDeleteDave - I like your new Disneyland Photo Archive menu. Nice job!
Or was it taken from the Mark Twain?
ReplyDeleteMajor - I think you are right; Darryl - I just don't think the Twain ever came that close to NW or this portion of the Stagecoach trail.
ReplyDeleteJG -Not sure, but they do look real!
Ken - Yes, it does look like a lei! And I have been doing an overhaul on my entire site. Thanks!
