I'm guessing they couldn't do a lot of setup/closeup shots at WDW so MM came into play with its open spaces and open nature. Of course could the 2 parks be any further apart? I watched it with the sound turned up, WOW!<br /><br />TM: The Old Mill Still exists?? I gotta get to Knott's before its gone. Maybe "We" can get to Knott's soon for Chris's book!!!<br /><br />Totally agree about animals performing in captivity, the few shows I've seen always make me sad for the animals.Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-20648470155409955862010-02-26T03:51:24.237-08:002010-02-26T03:51:24.237-08:00Yeah, I wondered if that was Sea World.

As I watched that killer whale kiss a park guest and the dolphin shake hands with another, I couldn't help but think about what happened at Sea World on Wednesday. Whaterver the reason it did it....I don't blame the poor whale. They should not be having to perform for OUR entertainment!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-89352302890511059712010-02-26T03:28:06.698-08:002010-02-26T03:28:06.698-08:00And it goes to Sea World (Florida I think) too!

And I'm sure it was done "hit and run" style - no way they had permission! You can even tell by the other guests they roped into the shoot!Chris Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759410855891198273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-35879697179774223652010-02-26T01:50:13.108-08:002010-02-26T01:50:13.108-08:00Hey Chris, I had to check out that link you provid...Hey Chris, I had to check out that link you provided. Fantastic 1970's footage....but why does it go back and forth between WDW and Magic Mountain? I mean, I'm glad that it did...it's just strange how it jumps from one park to the other. I did love getting to see all of those extinct Magic Mt. attractions!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-84419275845380334972010-02-26T01:36:23.979-08:002010-02-26T01:36:23.979-08:00That old mill scene still exists today (hidden beh...That old mill scene still exists today (hidden behind the Berry Market) and looks almost exactly the same as it did decades ago.

We have a bit on Whittles in the upcoming 'Knott's Preserved' - which went to print a few weeks ago!<br /><br />Here's a link I think you will love, by the way.
