Salvageland Article

[SpenceMan01]

Just found a cool new article: http://www.crazedfanboy.com/spotlight/salvage.html

It's about a company who salvages old WDW stuff from rides, resorts and everything else. A couple things that caught my eye:

ET: Do you get the inside information on which rides are going to be the next to be shut down?
BR: Yes, a lot of the time I know what is happening and what is being remodeled before almost anyone else. From the sound of it, The Wonders of Life at EPCOT will be the next to go. It’s closed down most of the time right now so I think it will be the next to go.

Whether it's inside info or his opinion, I'm not sure.

BR: I’ve had Dumbo cars from the ride. I have had Figment cars from the Journey to Imagination ride. We’ve had a couple of cars and parts from Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride and coming up in the next few months I will have all the props and displays that came out of that ride.

How awesome would that be to own some of those pieces??

BR: We get stuff from the ones that are operating now but it will usually be if something is broken or doesn’t fit or if there is a rehab. For example they are redoing It’s a Small World so we will be getting all the old boats out of that.

New boats!! :sohappy:

Wow, that was really interesting! One observation: It appears that he gets surplus from DisneyLAND as well. The Space Mountain rocket he's pictured sitting in is a side by side seating. So it must be from either Disneyland or Tokyo Disneyland.

20 years or so ago, I thought that I remember that Space Mountain had side by side seating. Any ideas to the contrary?
