A cast member asked me if I'd would work with them and "be timed" and they gave me a slip of paper with the current time on it. I was asked to hand it in when I entered the foyer so they could check how long I had waited. As a bonus I would not have to surrender my E ticket for the ride. <br /><br />Once in a lifetime memory for sure.Trish Blassingamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618093085519251516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-24552119350112493592009-10-05T16:54:35.214-07:002009-10-05T16:54:35.214-07:00Very nice shots of some extraordinary details!

In the 80's it was velvet wallpaper.<br /><br />The foyer was carpeted in the 80s and 90s. Maybe the wood floor is original and was carpeted over? But it was probably changed in the last few years.Westcot2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/00465771382648041516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-58226479841591030102009-10-03T06:07:42.367-07:002009-10-03T06:07:42.367-07:00Katella - I definitely do not remember a different...Katella - I definitely do not remember a different wallpaper; now I will have to be on the lookout for an earlier photo.

I'd love the experience those pre-Doombuggy parts of the ride without all of the people talking loudly (ignoring the fact that the show has begun).Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-12930753120887965352009-10-02T08:27:24.968-07:002009-10-02T08:27:24.968-07:00By the way, does anybody remember the original foy...By the way, does anybody remember the original foyer wallpaper? The room was dark, but I recall it was black flocking on a gold foil background.
