Let's get out of Mesa Verde for awhile. Where should we go next? What haven't we started to cover?
Looking through my pics I've just realized that we aren't even 1/8th of the way to the end. We need to pick up the pace because at this rate we'll be finished in 2083.
I thought since we were recently talking about the "bathtub girl", I would cut together the Easy Living portions of the three rides we did with our old friend Bionic Fonzi.
These rides are pretty neat, they show how we used to jump off right at the beginning and run ahead to the stairway up to the Easy Living set. We did this to try and make it as far ahead to the beginning of our "empty car gap", so we would have more time. The second ride shows Hoot running up the spiral staircase to the bathtub girl with video camera in hand, very cool. Also on the second ride, you can see us getting nervous about the ride slowing down and then stopping with the "e-stop" spiel going off. We were fairly certain this was for a wheelchair guest, but we were always scared we had been caught when that would happen. :)
Then we decide we have time for a third ride. This shows us in the load area counting cars for our gap. You get a pretty neat shot of under the ride platform, where you can see the pipes and stuff painted a fluorescent orange. Hoot also films me up on the bathtub platform taking a picture.
Wow, watching these again just brings back so many fun memories, Enjoy! :)
Here is another early run, with us testing different strategies for running ahead to get a 'larger gap' of cars to allow us more time in a set. As you can see in Easy Living not all of our ideas worked out very well. :) In this clip we test our timing again trying to reach the Holo-Girl. We also take a quick trip down the cave and look behind 'the Grove' and 'the Kitchen'.
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.
Mesa Verde Times reader Kali has requested some Easy Living, art deco, background painting shots. Ask you shall receive!
