This is one of my favorite attractions in all of WDW. ; I took this the day before Pixelmania began. ; This is one of those old attractions that takes up a ton of space, which makes it ripe for doing something different. ; I hope that does not happen, it has charm and it is one of the few that were there back in 1971 (I believe). ;

John, that's one of my favorites too. I ride it at least 2 times every trip. I think I have the jokes memorized. BTW Nice shot!

Thanks Harry, my wife and I always get excited if a skipper uses a joke we have not heard, but that does not happen very often.

Thanks Michael! ; My parents have pictures from the 70's on this attraction, I think that is one of the reasons it has left such an impression on me.
 
That is a great wide shot. ; I always loved that ride as a kid! ; And it is an original - so always a soft spot. ; I only hit it about every 4-5 trips now, mostly because it's often crowded around there so I just jet by...but every time I do ride it again, I enjoy it and wonder why I don't ride it more!
 
I would say riding this at night has a completely different feel to it, but that might be because the one and only time I rode it at night was when a flying creature of sorts decided to collide with my face. It wasn't a mammal (thank God) but it certainly put me on edge for the rest of the ride.
