NOW I understand...it was the original look I that locked in back in '57! It's really a shame that the people in charge of repairs and renovations on this feature don't seem to have read any of the data supporting the use of detail in miniature work. Although we may not *see* the tiny detail work, it registers with our psyche as more real, thus enhancing the experience and feeding our sense of wonder. I suppose the Powers That Be sport a different Object and Vision regarding the purpose of Disneyland from that of Walt. I can (mostly) overlook the crass commercialism , but the loss of wonder really irks me, and I think it would Walt, too.Glaxonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221715102855657555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-73919512615728883792008-04-04T19:12:00.000-07:002008-04-04T19:12:00.000-07:00Beautiful post, love the comparison shots.

"Oh no! Not more of those!". But I do love that attraction, it is really charming. I love to ride it at night especially.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.com
