I just hope it's somewhere safe so that maybe someday in the future it could be used again as a prop or maybe placed in the Disney museum.<br /><br />Horizons T., I thought that might have been a pony in the pic too, but I looked at the original unresized pic and that's just a very large rock back there. As for the shoreline, in person it looks really "concretey" (if that's a word) and it's high. I noticed some baby ducks that were unable to get up out of the water to join their mom on the shore. They kept jumping and trying, but couldn't make it to the top of the concrete "wall" along the shoreline.<br /><br />Dan, yes...even though most of the figures are static, I'm still glad to see the additions....especially the mountain lions!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-81831768215717407812010-05-12T17:20:13.123-07:002010-05-12T17:20:13.123-07:00Great mega post!

Now vegetation and animals fit into each area. Also the shoreline looks hell of a lot more realistic. Sad to see the train go, but it was probably too much in despair and some may have found it in bad taste due to past incidents at Thunder.<br /><br />As for the pony's, they do have them there and I believe one is in your picture toward the back.

I was at the park Monday, but the Columbia had huge lines, I wanted to see the river, but not that bad....<br /><br />I suppose the keel boat probably looks more authentic this way, but I wish they would have restored it to its authentic Disney version.<br /><br />It is nice to see such care and time spent on this area, Walt would be happy. I heard the live horses will only be out for a few hours a day?<br /><br />I wonder why the Mine Train is gone? Yes it was a mess, maybe they are cleaning it up and going to put it back on display? Or maybe we better be checking eBay for a slightly used Mine Train?<br /><br />Thanks for the "Village's People" reference, now I've got YMCA running thru my head!Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-55298494059788699012010-05-12T10:54:06.312-07:002010-05-12T10:54:06.312-07:00Yeah, the changes seemed pretty minor to me too, D...Yeah, the changes seemed pretty minor to me too, Dave. The Keelboat had been used as a prop in recent years...and it's still out there as a prop. A few new animals have been added, but none of them were moving except for the eagles.....and I don't even know if they are brand new or not because years ago there was a family of eagles sitting in a nest next to the burning cabin. I have a photo of that that I need to post. I didn't have time to do a "then and now" comparison like I had wanted to do.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-7513750739172865012010-05-12T10:52:49.187-07:002010-05-12T10:52:49.187-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-3192086920693609132010-05-12T04:24:26.311-07:002010-05-12T04:24:26.311-07:00Thanks for the tour.

It's good to have the river back, although I would say that the changes seem somewhat minor, it does appear that a lot of work and care went into this rehab. That Keelboat does not hold a candle to the detailed originals though!Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.com
