i thought she had been flying for longer than that at WDW.
after seeing Disneyland's new 'flight pattern', i can't even imagine why WDW wouldn't copy the new system! It was SO much more magical!

I saw her FIRST flight. . . aaand, I have the Eyes and Ears edition with articles and photographs outlining all the work that went into that first flight, modifications to Cinderella's Castle, Tinkerbell, the whole works.
Congrats to WDW on 20 years of Tinkerbell flights.

Modifications to Tinkerbell?
Even if it is a simple straight line away from the castle, it is magic every time I see it.

:lol: I didn't mean it that way, but I suppose there were definitely modifications to her wardrobe as compared to before July of 85! :lol: No, you might be surprised how much reinforcement steel went into the spire to anchor that telephone line. :lookarounClemsonTigger said:Modifications to Tinkerbell?
to clarify: articles and photographs of the modifications to the castle plus photographs of Tinkerbell and the imagineers who made it happen. In essence, all the answers to Luv4Goofy's questions.

Yea, I knew what you meant, but for whatever reason the line just read "funny". I am amazed at how much does go into safely tethering 100lbs plus or minus over that distance, her guts to jump out of the window or the war stories of the crash landings in the somewhat less technical part of the maneuver.
Hope to get out to DL later this year to see the new presentation there, but the current trip at MK (just like the Matterhorn climbers) is simple but fun, just as it is!
