Hey Gang, ya just hit a great note with me as this is the attraction I started as a brand new castmember with. I was a part-time tour guide for the walking tour. The year was 1995 and "the lottery" was going strong
By the way, just for the record the name of the attraction was actually called,
Inside the Magic Special Effects and Production Tour..the Back Lot Tour was the Tram tour that took you around through the props outside, houses, and vehicle props as well...Blue Thunder, Blade Runner, to name a few, and of course the Black Jack Savage SR-71 boat.
I still have the entire speil for the walking tour and SPFX water tank packed away in storage somewhere...Sure miss the whole thing..awesome times working there and met alot of celebrities along the way. I even met my best friend Rich Allsmiller while working there. He and a very well known Imagineer, Tom Scherman, built a replica of the 11 foot miniature Nautilus and Rich used to come back every year or so to check on it and see if it needed any work done to it. This wonderful model was featured predominantly at the top of the queue behind the welcome podium and turnstiles. This same model is now featured at the newer attraction One Mans' Dream at the 20,000 Leagues exhibit, but you have to look up to see it...lol..seems no one ever does that though.Well anyway, hope this helps shed a little light on the subject
Cheers,
BABS...aka Whining Wilderness William
