    Nice shot - I like the wide closeup perspective that makes it look 'zoomy'.

    I guess can throw in a few more here on this thread, since I've continued to go through the archives a bit lately.

    Train in old-timey processing:

    Thanks Craig. ; I don't think everyone else there loved it, but I just had to do it. ; I was standing room only myself, and my hand with the camera wrapped around the wrist was up in the air...I decided I would turn it on, engage the flash, and take a blind overhead shot of the crowded bus. ; It just seemed to want some B&W treatment once I saw it.

    Paul, I like YOUR bus shot! ; Nice to catch it coming around the corner like that.

    You actually captured two extinct attractions there Bill - the Peoplemover as well.

    Well the Safari trucks don't quite meet the definition (since they just go in a circle, and you enter/exit in the same basic area)...but the skyway is an excellent addition, as is the Main Street horse-drawn carriage. ; And the old classic peoplemover too.

    I agree, Bill that is a great shot. ; Maybe they will both return someday.

    I highly doubt it. ; The Skyways are basically gone for good; Busch Gardens' accident with one a few weeks ago is going to help ensure that. ; I know that the San Diego Zoo still has one, but it's a special added ticket. ; DL even filled in the Matterhorn.

    The Peoplemover will not be returning at DL; safety regulations[nb]Cal-OSHA has primary jurisdiction[/nb] would dicate that it would be a tight wire mesh enclosure at the minimum, so it would like getting a ride in a jail car - and you wouldn't be able to see much. ; For an example, see Mickey's Fun Wheel at DCA.

    Another 1983 shot of the peoplemover at sunset. ; Time has not been as kind to this photo as it was to my previous post.
