It's gotta be A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow as a song, but I do love the Tomorrowland Loop of Now Is The Time.

I remembered reading somewhere about how Mickey was held atop Spaceship Earth. It was a pole that came out of the top of SE, which had a full body harness attached to it, so Mickey couldn't move anything but his arms. Very secure, but very gutsy. Imagine how the crew working on the 2000 Wand felt du...

That must have been some experience! Oh yeah. I had the system all worked out. I knew every cast member that worked the ride, and they even slipped me a couple of test FastPasses from the morning now and then. I worked the Single Rider line until it got too long, then used FastPasses while the the ...

The only ride I've actually counted my rides on is Everest, at 168 rides. I've been on Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain countless times, but not as many as Everest. When Everest first opened, I was the third person to hit 100 rides. Got a free picture, pin, and t-shirt for my 100th ride.

Sweet shot! I wish I could walk around the parks with a tripod, but I'm also the one that runs around getting all the FastPasses, and no one will willingly carry a tripod around. It would make night photography so much easier, though.

+1. I doubt the track could handle it, though. Then again, it was built to withstand hurricanes.

Here's some more shots.

Yup. If I remember correctly it was a dark blue Solstice

Indeed. They car in the very beginning of the queue, which used to be a Corvette if I remember correctly, is now a Pontiac Solstice, a car that is not produced any more due to GM's drop of Pontiac along with Saturn. I think they should replace it with a Corvette ZR1. A car that has set records on ma...

I think it at least may help GM's image if they get that jimmy and really ugly red Saturn out of the pre-show video. I have been on test track at least 100 times and I think the thermal image screen has been through all kinds of change. Started with a tube tv, then it was just a static pic, once th...

Yes, TT is still sponsored by General Motors, as seen here.

Nice! I understand the offset thing, but I meant ~ the whole right side of the photos is cut off on my screen! So unless you meant to have only Walt's right hand's fingers and 2 spires of the castle, my computer isn't showing me what you intended! Ah, I understand what you mean. The pictures must m...

I think they're nice but the first few are definitely cut off on the right side...is it just me? I seem to offset most of my photography, putting the main subject either on the left or right sides of the photo. In the first photo, I put the umbrellas in the middle, with Cinderella's Castle in the b...

As a big fan of automobiles, one of my favorite attractions is Test Track. It's been my favorite since back when it opened in the 90s, but unfortunately, it still feels like it is from the 90s. I walk through the queue, enjoying the sights of car safety testing, and seeing some cool videos, but noth...

Here's some of my shots I took recently. Taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T2i.
