I think it is one of those attractions cast members and guests take for granted while they are off riding Space Mountain or whatever.

Secondly, YOU rode Ward Kimball's backyard train?? (Can I have your autograph???) For most of us, that is darn impressive stuff! Further, yes, it is a waste that LEG is gone... but we must remember so fell Rome! It's refreshing to read your comments. I sometimes fear - The Disney Company must not get too big fer thar britches! They must not lose sight of the guest and CM'S, *PEOPLE* not the almight dollar, or is it to late?? ~ I agree, "...exploiting nostalgic feelings in aging generations and appreciation for classic properties in newer generations," is crucial for maintaining THE image and popularity. Winding up, I must say, going to a Weird Al concert is likely the most wild time in live entertainment - Ken, you're one fortunate dude!! Thanks again for a Tiggerifc column!!!

Ward had a lot of people there that day. I believe it was an event organized by the Carolwood Pacific Historicla Society. It was gracious of the Kimballs to host everyone. Glad you enjoyed the column... Ken
