Nostalgia Post: The Submarine Voyage

This  is a picture of the Submarine Voyage at Disneyland from my family trip in July of 1995.  It also features the defunct Peoplemover and the old Astro Jets.
This was featured on my tumblr.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Showcase: The Black Cauldron attraction

Welcome to another RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 post. I have many screencaps from my RCT 2 Magic Kingdom sims. Today's post is a ride that was planned but never built. ( I just found that out in October). But this was done before I read about it on the web. This screenshot is my version of "The Black Cauldron" inside and out. Though my facade could use work. :) I would guess this ride would be effects heavy with projections and other illusions. The Disney version of "The Black Cauldron" was based on "The Chronicles of Prydain" by Lloyd Alexander. More info on the books can be found on this Wikipedia entry. Other never built rides and attractions can be found here.

Halloween Post: Part 2

This is the full sleeve of the 1979 remake of Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of The Haunted House.

This time the record is more serious featuring a dungeon and an encounter with who we presume to be Jack The Ripper. There is no narration on this LP and the tracks fade from one to the next. The monster sound in the track "The Haunted House" sounds like the monster from "The Haunted Castle" with Vincent Price. Most think this follow up is inferior, though I am not one of them. I manipulated the image to add a jaw to the skeleton and brightened the lightning .

If anyone knows if I would get in trouble from posting a track from the two records on this blog, I would like to know.

Halloween Post: Never to return....

This is a special post. Chilling, Thrilling Sounds Of The Haunted House was released by Disneyland records in 1964 and re-released in a different sleeve in the 1970's. Many bloggers have posted this before. Most people have probably heard sounds from this record at on time or another from the catfight sounds to the howling shriek taken from the classic "Lonesome Ghosts". Some claim to be too timid to sit through the opening track "The Haunted House" with it's thunder and screams. This presentation is a manipulation of the cover I edited with photo software to make the lightning glow and window shine.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Showcase: Magic Mirror on The Wall...

You must forgive me for not posting as of late, because of technical difficulties. But on to the exhibition, I sure do like creating Disney park rides on my RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. And while I'm contemplating about starting a blog or an online photo album of my creations I would like to present an under rated ride in my opinion, my version of "Snow White's Scary Adventure".

Here is my version of the old FantasyLand exterior that was done like an old faire.

And here's the interior. ( I take the inside seriously) with walls.

And the remodeled exterior (maybe that was an older refurbishment.)

And here is the current exterior done as an old walled European village.
("Snow White's Scary Adventure" and "Rollercoaster Tycoon 2" are Disney and Atari)

Rollercoaster Tycoon Showcase: A Day to Remember

Today is the 54th anniversary of Disneyland, so in the spirit of the signifigance of today on the theme park industry I am going share some of my Magic Kingdom screenshots from my 5th Magic Kingdom sim on RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.

This is the castle which greets guests to Fantasyland.

                                                           

This is the Main Street train Station

                                                     

I hope you enjoy this exhibition while I search far and wide for the next exhibit of the obscure.
