The fist of God

I love this one because it clearly shows the mighty fist if GOD ready to SMITE the first jerk who tries to ruin Horizons!

Fiberglass

This hoverlift shell may still be at Hollywood Studios. It was either a quick mold or a plug of some kind. Not sure. This was taken at that shitty restaurant that was made to look like some sort of production facility. Did I ever mention how much I hate the studios? Yuck.

The King of Pop

Chief and I mourn the loss of Michael Jackson, the King of pop and longtime Horizons fan. In a 1989 interview about his love for Disney, the King cited his favorite attractions as Pirates, Horizons, and Space Mountain. He was too humble and kind to mention the attraction in which he starred.

May you rest in peace, Captain EO.

Chief of the Future

Here's my pal Chief, yellow flashlight in hand. He's grinning like that because he's trying to hook up! In fact, he was the last person on Earth to kiss that Animatronic figure goodbye. This took place as the "last" people to ride Horizons were about 10 cars ahead of us:)

How is that so? We saw a handful of die hards toasting with grape juice just outside of the entrance. Some sort of management person was with them. We went in ahead of them, hid out, watched them go by, we then paid our goodbye's to the greatest vision of future living ever created. When we got to unload there wasn't a person to be seen. We walked out and sat in front of Horizons. It was officially over for us and everyone else.

The rumble of poorly built cars on a shaky track ran next door at the new "Test Track". We sat and looked at the pastel wonder we had tried to document and couldn't help but to feel empty. Mrs Gibson found us there, bag of cool stuff from the Japan Pavilion, and we all three went home.

New Years Eve 1999/2000 happened and....................................

One of my favorites

I love this pic! It's by no means a great example of 20th Century photography but I love it. Check out the freshly squeezed mutant O.J. and actual sized props of the fruits grown in Mesa Verde. The flying vehicle had a name and it was going to be one of our contest questions. Who can tell me the name?

Here's a picture of the future....farm.....wheely...............This is from Horizons right? I can't remember without more comments from YOU, the last knights of the Horizons round table.

I think it's a Solo Sub.

The duo

Here they are clearly ignoring the safety bar. The entire Sea Castle could be destroyed by ONE kid falling into the glass hemisphere!

Ebay part one

I just found this on Ebay:

Nice I guess but how much is it worth outside of the ride? I don't personally place great value on things like this because they make me sad. If someone gave it to me for free I'd take it but I wouldn't PAY for it. Maybe I'm goofy? Am I seeing it all wrong? Outside of the big picture this is just a bunch of plastic grapes. Right?
