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.

Grove Control Tower: Monitor 1

So here we are underneath the Grove Control Tower, trying to get shots of the fake monitors. This one was shot by Hoot, and the other two monitors (like this one) were shot by me. I will be posting those soon. Enjoy!

Wild Tangent

I wonder how many non-cast member (including maintenance) folks have seen this stuff? I remember when we first saw this "maintenance car" (I dont know what they called it) we were amazed because we had never seen it before and had no idea what they used it for. And yes, to get these pictures I jumped into the car and rode in it for a little while. I cant remember exactly, but i'm pretty sure I even lifted the door to expose the little monitor. :)

I actually have 4 pictures of the maint car, but this was the only other one that is half way decent, sorry.

Then on one of our extended stay trips, we actually found this wierd maintenance room where the top of the vehicles are exposed. It was really neat and spooky at the same time being inside this room while the vehicles are rolling thru. It's kind of hard to see, but if you look at the full size view you should be able to see it, there was a paint brush hanging above the cars that would wipe off the top of the contact plates (or whatever they are called) to keep them free of dust and such I guess.


And if I remember correctly this sign was either inside this room on the door, or on the outside? Just thought it was neat because it had a dinosaur (makes me think of Gertie the dinosaur) on it. :)
