Re: New Model Train in MMRR Shop

Re: E.P. Ripley still AWOL?

A couple of social pages have seen the Ripley back at the park, visibly sitting in the roundhouse! Another has reported after hours testing.

Re: Great Thurl Revenscroft narration file

Wow, I haven't heard that narration that clear since hearing it live close to two decades ago. There was an audio file floating around that had chunks of the Thurl narration, some of it with a lot of background noise. DisneyChris.com is a treasure trove of audio from Disneyland.
