Here’s me in the “Astro Orbitor” ride in Tomorrowland inside Disneyland. Oh well, it’s just a video of the not so scary ride that at least gave a good view of the surrounding attractions. =) Anaheim, California USA Nov. 18, 2008
This is my Disneyland Vacation Video. I bet there are people out there who like the different signs in front of Disneyland like I do, here is one in 1992. We see and go thru the parking lot which is now Disney’s California Adventure, thats neat. We get are tickets and see how much they were back in 1992. We go see Goofy and Roger Rabbit on Main Street USA and ride the horse Trolly up Main Street then go to Critter Country and see Bear Country Jamboree. Go to tomorrowland and board Star Tours and then go to Fantasyland and board It’s a Small World, and see a bit of the World According to Goofy Parade. We take the horse trolly back down Main Street while the Dapper Dans are crooning music to us from them sitting or standing in back of the Trolly. Minnie Mouse posing with children and a Disneyland band playing on Main Street. See you all at Disneyland!
The Buzz Lightyear attractions are a series of attractions based on the Disney/Pixar film Toy Story 2 at Walt Disney Parks around the world. Although each ride may have a different name (as seen on the infobox to the right), all share the same plot and major characters. As each form of the attraction appeared, new technology has allowed the guest to better interact with the ride and even connect with personal computer users. The attractions use a third-generation Omnimover system, and are combination of a shooting gallery and a dark ride. The first ride featured laser guns that were not movable, but later versions featured the guns that are held in a holster and movable with the exception of a cord to keep them in the vehicle after the ride has ended. In 2005, the Walt Disney Company premiered a home version of the ride in the form of an internet video game that allows users to connect with guests at the parks. The scores of each guest from the dark ride are tallied with the internet gamer and increase the points won. There is also an attraction at Walt Disney World Resort’s DisneyQuest with the name “Buzz Lightyear’s Astroblasters”, where players ride and control cars while shooting balls at each other. The back story of the ride revolves around the attempts of Evil Emperor Zurg to steal the “crystallic fusion cells” (ie, batteries) used to power the space vehicles of the “Little Green Men.” Participants are “Star Command” raw recruits sent to defeat Zurg.

***PLEASE READ*** If you’re a disney fan interested in old footage from the park and hoping to see more, please know that this is the extent to what I have. I recently discovered an old VHS tape of some 8mm film transfers that I had long believed to be destroyed. Most of the footage would be wildly dull to anyone else, but I figured these sections might serve some purpose for those who are fans of either Disneyland or Old Faithful. And, yes, that’s me as an infant in the very beginning. I was a little too short to ride on the tea cups at the time… music by Kevin MacLeod www.incompetech.com Cool site for people curious about Disneyland attractions and rides that have come and gone www.yesterland.com
