Just Google "Calico Mine Ride Construction Pics" and you will see a couple good ones come up. And I'm not sure if I've ever seen any pics from it's grand opening, but there must be some out there. Good luck.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-58600247074813555652019-01-23T11:08:56.694-08:002019-01-23T11:08:56.694-08:00So awesome!

I am not brave but I just enjoy being surprised, trilled and scared at the same time. Amazing idea and great way to enjoy the new year.Aliciahttp://www.orlandovacationhotels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-62383400350686958262011-01-05T21:52:42.512-08:002011-01-05T21:52:42.512-08:00Darrin, I guess your lucky that the park was open....Darrin, I guess your lucky that the park was open. When I worked there, they would call us at home and tell us the park wasn't opening or was closing early when there were heavy rains. Was the Log Ride open when you were there?<br /><br />Dan, You are right. Now that I think of it, some of the sets also remind me of a Christmas display that used to be set up around a miniature train ride at a local mall here. The Log Ride actually had an elf upside down in a bag of sugar or flour in the Mrs. Claus' kitchen scene and his legs were flailing! (that was another figure that was animated) I just didn't get a good photo of him!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-70391232282537031952011-01-05T16:48:34.249-08:002011-01-05T16:48:34.249-08:00Elf Mountain looks interesting.

I remember being horrified because there was an elf figure stuck in the chimney, with his little legs flailing in the air.<br /><br />Loved the parody videos--I had seen the Scary Mary Poppins one, but not the Rudolph one.

Unfortunately, they don't run many rides when it's raining (Like Disney) but I did get to hit the Calico mine (my fave ride as a kid).

And movement would be much more entertaining!<br /><br />In regards to scaling your embedded videos to fit your blog, it's fairly easy to re-size them. When you copy the code from youtube and then paste it on your page (within the edit HTML tab), simply read the code. You will see 2 sets of "width" and "height" numbers.<br /><br />For a video like this, a re-sizing to around 500 x 320 should make it fit and look good on your page.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.com
