Another Angle


Here's the rock work from the back of the kitchen scene. That's Dad up there making a cake that 'lil Davey will never enjoy. It would probably be hard to ship a cake to outer space. Right? It's nice to know that Dad has time to make cakes while his wife is working on the farm!
Unfortunately this pic shows some disrepair happening probably from the moisture of the stream:(

Under the Kitchen


Some one requested a shot of the rock work under the kitchen scene of Mesa Verde. Here's a nice one. You can see the stream running through it if you look close. I think the see through floor and ceiling was an awesome touch and allowed for light to pass through to the cacti below! I'll bet the AC bill was high. Hell maybe not! Maybe this home was completely solar powered!

Hologram call for....you!


Here's a mouth watering pic of the tiny animatronic figure in the Holophone effect! She was small but her arms moved. I love the background.
Look, folks, we have about a dozen pics of this 'lil figure and, on that note, I want you all to know one thing. This blog is for YOU. The handful of people who still love Horizons over 10 years later. Remember when EVERYBODY had a Horizons tribute site? Chief and I wanted nothing to do with that short lived mania so we held out. NOW is the time for the hardcore survivors to enjoy this collection and were overjoyed that we can serve to you on a silver platter:)

Understand


Here I am after sweet talking a girl employee into letting me wear her silver coat. Did I mention how handsome I am?


Now we understand what drove CHIEF and I to document the future. Here's my goal:


1. I'm not going to go through Horizons in any sort of order. I like to jump around and write about things as I remember them.


2. I'm not going to write about the history of the attraction. You can find that elsewhere. It makes no difference to me who designed or built it just that it was there.


3. CHIEF and I sold our souls to the devil to get Horizons to open one last time. An afterlife of eternal suffering awaits us both so PLEASE ask before you use any of of our material. (This means YOU Extinct Attractions Club!)


4. The views presented here are mine, Hoot Gibson, and have nothing to do with the Walt Disney Company.
