Sketch on how it passes through the Matterhorn
The Matterhorn was built right at the same time they were constructing 20,000 Leagues. In this picture you can see the lagoon for the 20,000 Leaagues with the Matterhorn looming in the background.
The top goes on first
So here they are hoisting one of the cars up onto the track
This guy is going on a test run, but evidently there are no safety ladders to climb up or down if the car gets stuck mid ride! Tony Baxter couldnt believe this one! Evidently those are some of the first things that they build nowadays!
Its getting closer to completion
Blurry but the point of this one is that the ride is going right through the construction zone. Unheard of today not only for cosmetic purposes, but safety as well!
Can you believe this one? These guys are just pushing this heavy equipment along the monorail track! Look mom! No net!
And then this guy, dont worry Ill be right over! No worries about this giant lake down here!
And here they are cutting the ribbon on the Monorail, Im surprised that they havent thrown those scissors away! They never worked right!
Bob Gurr has a really funny story about he kidnapped then Vice President Nixon on a Monorail trip! Thank God the thing didnt break down on him!
Now this is the construction for the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride.
More of the 20,000 Leagues construction
In this picture you can see the pylons for the Monorail, construction for all three of these attractions was going on concurrently.
These are some of the underwater sculptures
And the track the submarines ride on
Heres one of the test voyages
And a look at the ???? I have no idea what these are
Here it is triumphantly emerging from the end of the ride.
