Mucho May 1997

Todays pics are brought to you by the letter O!!! as in oh my god, what are they doing! We are still in 1997, the day of the 1997 Annual Passholder party. First up we have the entrance to Tomorrowland. What, I can't go this way? I'll have to go around.
Here is a peak behind that construction wall. It's a Great Big Pile of Nothing!!!!! The planters that graced the entrance to Tomorrowland had just been removed for construction of the Astro Orbiter. Weeeeeeee!!!!!

Now we're in Tomorrowland at constuction on the old PeopleMover platform. Here is where they are geting ready to remove the Gantry Elevators to the Rocket Jets. As you can see by this time, the old Rocket Jets have been turned into the Communitron. During this phase of contruction, the waklways were constricted tighter than Rosie O'Donnald's corset.


Here is a closer shot of the Gantry Lift.......



This shot is looking down at the old Mission To Mars building. At this time it was used for parking of dumpsters. In the forground you can see the Speedramp entrance to Space Mountain.




Finally today, we have this picture. I couldn't tell what it was to start with. Then it dawned on me, It's the begining constuction of the Mickey and Friends Parking structure. This is from the Monorail Platform....
Thats all for today!!!!!
