This article is from the Orlando Sentinel, Oct. 1st 1983 and whatever hack ass wrote it wasn't credited. We already know that Horizons wasn't a "smash" hit when it opened but this clown thinks he's Mr Funny and tries to poke fun at it only to say nice things at the end. A futile attempt at saving his job as King Douche Bag Intern at the Sentinel.
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.
Here is another clip from the Chief cam. We are behind the Mesa Verde Grove once again, and I film the awesome backdrop painting with its 'Cool Buses', heh! In this one I have the camera light on a bit more, so you get a somewhat better look at the space underneath and behind the grove. Yet you get to hear me bitching again about how the light eats up the rear battery on my camera so fast. I catch Hoot in the act of setting up his camera to capture our first cool 'In The Grove' shot we posted about last year.
Then I get some video of the awesome 'Orange Machine', hehe. And I had seen the name on the side of the thing probably a dozen times or more by this point, you would think I could remember its proper name. :)
Then I get a shot of the Nova Cite backdrop painting and test our spy area that we would use sometimes to look for empty cars. And at the end of me filming that you get to see Hoot setting up his camera to film that same spot, which we posted footage of last year as well. Enjoy!
Ok, so this clip here was shot by yours truly on the day we did our first extended stay. It starts off in the little hiding place that we have talked about before in earlier posts. We are waiting in here, calculating the time that the car we were riding in would reach unload, to see if any alarms would go off since it would be empty!! :) Heh, but of course nothing of the sort happened.
Then we have a couple shots from the space catwalk, undersea catwalk, and then behind the mesa verde grove. And as I watch these again, I hate the fact that its so dark, I really wish there was a way to see it exactly how we saw it when our eyes adjusted to the dark. :( At one point behind the grove you can see me turn my camera light on for a few seconds. But unfortunately I didnt leave it on for very long, 1. because it burned thru my battery real quick, and 2. I was scared someone would see us for sure if we were walking around with a spotlight on. While I am looking thru one of the holes that Hoot gets one of our cool harvester shots from (that we have shown in earlier posts) you can hear the ride stop speil, then you can here us talking about finding a hiding spot, we were always certain that the ride was stopping because of us. :)
Then when our stay is done, we find a gap, and get back to the front of the cars and follow our gap out like the good old days. At one point at the kitchen, I turn around and shine my light at the cave again, then I run up the stairs to no where behind the daughters computer room. It might be kinda hard to tell here, but we are very excited because it appears that our mission was a success, although we still have to exit the ride. And by mission I mean our plan to see if we could indeed stay in the ride for hours and not get caught. Because if this worked, then this opened up a whole new realm of possibilities, no longer would we be restricted by how large our gap was. You can hear me (right after Hoot gets his monkeyshine on with the octopus) talking about what a 'fun ass fuckin day' it was, then in space you can hear my schoolboy excitement again talking about 'we were up there man', meaning when we were up on the catwalk above space. Then right after that we point out where Hoot almost died on an earlier trip, which we posted about before.
Then we finally come around to unload, we are nervous but excited. We tell ourselves to just be confident and walk out like normal. Then you can see our relief and hear Hoot proclaim '4 goddamn hours later', hehe, damn it was awesome, mission success! Then I love it right at the end of this clip, you can hear Hoot asking me if we want to ride again. Heh, we could never get enough, we were just in there for 4 hours, and we are still thinking we can get one more ride-thru before future world closes! Enjoy!
