SG behavior, but I think I've read that blog all the way through at least three times. Who else would have taken a picture of the mother's face in the floating shoe scene, or the anatomically-correct animatronic in the bathtub?
I really loved Horizons.
I just read thru this. While not Horizons, the Calico Mine Ride was *my* attraction. I opened it in the mornings, trained new operators on it, and I guess, cared about the attraction and took care of it as best as I could. I had a passion for the attraction that these two gentlemen had for Horizons.
I can't even describe how cool it was to be able to WALK the entire attraction in the morning, wandering/taking my time looking at different things in different scenes, standing on the top of the trestle bridge at the attractions highest point, or maybe re-arranging some dynamite in a certain scene, etc. It was a really, REALLY, neat thing to do. I took some photos but I can't remember where they are at this point. But reading that blog totally reminds me of my feelings about the Calico Mine Ride, and I can really relate to what they went out to do (and accomplish, IMO).
Granted Mine Ride is still standing, it's not the same as it was some time ago. It's definitely seen better days. Just wanted to comment on that blog, it was a REALLY cool read.
RIP Bud Hurlbut.
You will be missed.
