Grrrrrr. We were able to go at the last minute but it was sold out. Waaaa.

Wow, I see now how precious the beautiful color slides he had of Freedomland are. Ain't many photos of it out on the net.

Here are a couple that show the ripoffitude pretty well...

I guess the photos weren't working, so here's a link to the site (scroll down for the best pics) http://www.eccentrix.com/members/fre...nd/gallery.htm

Heck, just check out the post cards.

It was a thrill sitting in the intimate theater with mostly died-in-the-wool Disney geeks. Everytime they switched the slide in old-school projector, everything would go pitch black for a moment, and then "Ahhhh!" as the next Kodachrome frame jumped into view. And these weren't faked sounds - we gasped and gaped at these windows to Disneyland's past. Seeing everything in color from a ground-level tourist's eye was a revelation.

Especially intriguing was the Fantasyland I never knew - a kaleidescope of colors and shapes, all vying for your attention at once. Everything so squished together, everything seeming flimsy and temporary.

Rocket Jets on the ground in a Tomorrowland with tiny walkways....stagecoaches you have to climb a ladder to ride...a fantastic shot of a Phantom Boat (I had no clue they each had a CM pilot)....the "side streets" of Main Street sans Cone Shop and Carnation....

I didn't want it to end.

Au contraire, Carnation was the order of the day in that photo...the flower! The whole of Center Street filled with Carnation brand carnations. Absolutely gorgeous.

For those of us who missed this, he has done this show every year for the past couple of years and is currently hoping to expand thoe show to more than 2 days if the theater can offer the time. I think they are in negotiations at the moment.

Great Report! :snap:

I'm green with envy!
