Looking for PHOTOS of Frontierland from before Tom Sawyer Island...

[S 2]

I was reading on the 1971 Frontierland and how Tom Sawyer Island actually came a few years after the park's opening, and contained elements of the Western River Expedition design... pretty interesting stuff! Anyways... I was looking for photos of the island before it was built and couldn't find any! Do you know of any old photos of Frontierland from before both mountains and Tom Sawyer Island?

I believe tsi was an opening day attraction (or at least the island was "built") i am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong

Thanks, thats an awesome and spooky ole pic huh? From what I understand it opened 2 years later in 1973, if so I was interested in pics of the island without the trails on it from between 1971-'72 I suppose...

Found this one from 1972, you can see the island under construction here:

I grew up with this on my wall so that explains why i thought it always existed in form even if nothing was built on it yet.

I've got plenty at home pre 1973 and from the opening.

Remind me tonight if no one beats me to it.
