Even The Robots See It

In honor of us reaching 200 followers, here is a new video! heh

Anyways, in the beginning of this shot you get to see Hoot setting up to record Grove Shot 2. And then you get to see me (well, you dont really get to 'see' me, but you know what I mean) crawling around underneath our favorite spot, the grove, in order to get to the control tower monitors. I think this shot is pretty neat because it gives you a feel for what it was like crawling around under there. And by the end of this video, you should have the control tower dialog memorized! :) Enjoy!

p.s. And for those that might have missed our earlier post on it, here is an easy link to one of the other monitors shot from Hoots camera.

Hoot scores

I posted this pic early on but I Photoshoped it a bit. Here's the original clearly showing you how easy it was for a handsome bitch like me to con a poor girl into letting me wear her jacket. Fellas, she was putty in my hands when I flashed her this Psycho killer grin. Believe that.

Hoot Takes Control

Hoot Gibson ready for take off............

Holo-Girl (Part 2)

Ok, so here we are, up on the catwalk looking back down into the 'living room'. We are basically right above the ride track, looking to the 'left' if you will.

And now I am looking to the 'right', and if you look real close at this picture, in the upper right hand corner, you can see someones elbow, hrmm, I wonder who that is? :) Also in this picture, pay attention to the gray box, with some electrical connection coming out of it. It will help put the next photo into perspective.

Why, it is none other than your captain, Hoot Gibson! hehe This is the photo being used in his profile currently. Again, notice the gray box in the lower left corner. Also in this photo, notice the mirror just below Hoot, it looks like a corner is broken off, you will see this mirror again in a couple photos I have coming up in a future part of my Holo-Girl posts. And I have no idea how/why the corner is broken off, just pointing it out because it makes it easy to remember and recognise.

Pink shoes

Like I said, I made a list of things I wanted pics of. I was pretty sure these shoes were important because they're such a minor detail. Horizons was all about the small details in true old school Disney fashion.

More Comments?

Hey, Horizons fans! I had to switch to "moderate all comments" because some Ohio guy thought I was sleeping with his wife. AS IF!

Now, I know girls dig guys who are into old EPCOT Center attractions. We all know that. Horizons knowledge was a chick magnet back in the day and still is. "Show me your pics, Hoot" and "let's watch Horizons video, Chief". We got use to it but I can't have comments like he posted on this blog.

Somebody shoot me a comment so I can see if this works. Please?

Behave yourself, Ohio man!

Wish you were here

Hey! Hoot Gibson here almost live from Key West! Thanks for posting while I'm gone, chief:)

I was snorkling today while I pretended I was at Sea Castle Resort. I even saw an octopus (but he didn't blink at me).

Lettuce Move On

Another from the kitchen. This time, the vegetables and fruits are being kept fresh under plastic domes.

How perfect WAS this house?!

James Mason

Captian Nemo makes a cake with his comfy purple jumpsuit on.

His eyes were out of wack:( Almost always. It was creepy cuz he looked drunk.

A Couple More

Here are a couple more from above and behind the Sub Repair Room to go along with what Hoot posted earlier here.

Links

If anyone has a suggested link I'm all ears. It doesn't have to be about Horizons if you follow this blog so comment here and I'll add you. Lay 'em on me.

Bubble window one

Oh lord HERE'S a crappy shot. It was the best I could do from the ride vehicle and if we hadn't been able to ride again I guess it would have been good enough. I liked this vignette because the two were holding an unheard conversation. The lip movements were limited so it looked they were saying "bah bah bah....bah bah bah". Maybe it was "pah pah pah" I'm not really sure.

Thanks Hoot

First off I just want to thank Hoot for letting me join as a contributor. I am so glad that he started this blog so that we can share our stories, pictures, and videos of our Horizons adventures. It has actually been a long time since I have taken a look at the pictures and videos, and now that we are going thru them again it is really helping bring back all the great memories of what we did. :)

Anyways, on with the show. I thought I would continue on with the last few posts about the SeaPort area and show a few more shots of it. The first one is a pretty neat view I think, it is from up on one of the many catwalks looking down thru the 'holes' in the sets, all the way down to the sea floor. You can see the Sub Repair Room, then the room thats just on the other side of the Undersea Resort (restaurant) with the Sub on the floor, and then of course you can see the sub on the sea floor.

The second shot is basically from a ride vehicle of that floor just underneath the Sub Repair room and next to the Undersea Classroom and just on the other side of the wall of the Undersea Resort (restaurant). In the distance you can see thru the triangular window, the single guy just about to order his tasty lobster. And if I remember correctly there is another triangular style window hidden just behind that purple colored beam in front of the sub, that you could see the dining black couple.

More Wierd Angles

Here are the trio from the catwalk. Nice shot huh? The set exterior was very tall giving the riders the feeling that they were deep under the sea. There's no way you could see the top from your omnimover car which created a very tranquil, deep sea, effect.
The Kelp plants were attached to motors that made them rise up and down with the "current" and a Gobo in front of a spotlight created the water effects. Notice the tension springs on the Kelp strands. They could be adjusted to the right setting for the effect.

Here we go again! I have one of these but only because someone gave it to me. Is this worth even $25? This IS more cool than the grapes but does it make any sense in your living room? Mine's in a box in the garage.
