Poor water fountains...so lonely there in the middle of a pile of dirt...

Wow, that billboard looks amazing and I'm not being sarcastic! Man, I really need another trip to the world when I get excited by billboards!

(Oh, and 500th post!!!, hence the edit!)

 

[rainfully]

Awww... man... I coulda used some bootie today... :lookaroun

*ahem*

Seriously... its crazy to see the progress on 20k... hard to believe there will soon be hardly no evidence it ever existed!!

Rob, you know EXACTLY what I wanna do with that Spectro photo.

*ahem*

Mother, May I?

Reminds me of a pic you posted, Grizz... :lol:

Although I'm biased, I liked the TT bilboard better!! :lookaroun

Mother, May I?

Grizz.. no. While that is bad show, their purpose for being out is a necessary evil. When they bring the float tug out to the Main Street/Liberty Square bridge before the parade, the girls escort the tug out, and then walk backstage once more.

This is something that most people wouldn't notice. So while you may use it, you are NOT allowed to use it for anything remotely close to bad show.

Nice pictures. I can't wait to see the lagoon when all is said and done. I like the Mission Space billboard too. Thanks for the pics.

Nice pictures. I can't wait to see the lagoon when all is said and done.

the sad thing is that we can almost start referring to the "lagoon" as the x-lagoon or the dirt pile. i know i know, it is sad.

i know what you meant though........ lol

 

[Mickeyrulz]

How deep was the 20K Lagoon anyway?

 

[Figment1986]

amazing... disney kept the old water fountins... looks like the constructionworkers were well hidrated... LOL

I want one as a suvineer, who would notice it missing :lookaroun

Oh and why no bootie??

 

[Mickeyrulz]

The fountains will be the last memento.

Could you tell me something? In Toontown Fair what of the 20k cave (when the ride was still existing) could you see

 

[NemoRocks78]

Great photos as always, Rob!

 

[dandaman]

Nice pictures, but we wants the Rhino...maybe some elephant or hippo for variety. :lol: :lol:

:lol: Good one! BTW, I didn't know they replaced the TT billboard. Used to always look at that and whip my head around to see Flik... :lol:

 

[Joalovar]

Excelllent pictures.

I still can't believe the lagoon is gone. It's sad to see what it used to be one of the originals attractions WDW opened with in 1971. I'll always miss 20K

Sorry, Rob. From reading your original post here, I misinterpreted the context. Were they chatting with each other about things outside of Disney magic? I think that would be "Bad Show."

 

[TinkerBell9988]

AWESOME PICTURES, mkt!! (as always )

The picture of the Spectro girls... very interesting...

Honestly, I have never seen that before, so that picture is a bit of a surprise.

 

[PhotoDave219]

in-focus would be nice.....

 

[DisneyPan]

Rob- Those rope girls lead the tug to the Liberty Sq bridge in case of any float "stuckage".

 

[mkt]

I know Rodney, I already said that

That's one of the things most guests don't notice, which is why I drew attention to it. Not for bad show, just because

Rob, those pics are awesome! As a General Contractor, I love looking at pics like that! I was never fond of 20k *dodges flying fruit and other objects*. I think I was just too young when i rode it, and after standing in line for SOOOO long for a claustrophobic and short ride, I just didn't want to ride it anymore.

I like seeing progress. Sure, Toad and 20k were classics, but they were obsolete. Kids these days rarely know who Mr. Toad is or have ever seen 20k, the movie. The Magic Kingdom is a park geared for kids - and if the target audience doesn't understand the meaning of attractions or they lose interest in the oldie-but-goodies, WDW has to fix it by updating with something more in-trend.
