POTC construction photos

Came across these and thought they were pretty cool. I love the signs and how they advertise "Opening Christmas 1973".


Not exactly sure what part we are looking at. Maybe part of the queue? Must be towards the back because you can see the clock up front.

This might be my favorite of the two. I love that you can see the WDWRR and the Adventureland trestle to the right. Sure looks a little different today haha

The first photo is roughly from where the old McDonalds fries snack window is today.

They should sell prints of images like this. I think they'd sell.

Ok that makes sense. I couldn't tell what angle the picture was taken at. Well, with that being said, the roped off pathway must be Frontierland Crossing.

It was a Frontierland station exit. You can see it in my satellite photo.

My mistake. I had forgotten that Frontierland Crossing had not been built yet.

You have your own satellite? That explains a few things.
