When we went to Disney World after I graduated, that was the first actual ride we went on... I ended up riding it a total of ten times during the week we were there (would've ridden it more if I'd had time).<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I also really enjoyed the HM movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620242838963213494.post-36748387812381627892008-08-28T13:15:00.000-07:002008-08-28T13:15:00.000-07:00Dave,Thanks for stopping by, and for commenting!

I have enjoyed your blog also now, I see we do have a lot of similar interests.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, finally getting to visit the HM was like making a special pilgrimage to sacred ground! So much was familiar about it, but it made what we had read about it come to "life."Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620242838963213494.post-119441791489016242008-08-28T08:34:00.000-07:002008-08-28T08:34:00.000-07:00These really bring back memories.

The images and sounds had become iconic to me already and it was so wonderful that when I finally visited the Haunted Mansion it was even better than I imagined. Because of the model kits and the albums seeing it all in person was like seeing celebrities.<BR/><BR/>Really enjoy your blog.Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620242838963213494.post-41796007567242386812008-08-27T10:25:00.000-07:002008-08-27T10:25:00.000-07:00Patrick,Yeah, the munching sounds were obviously m...Patrick,<BR/><BR/>Yeah, the munching sounds were obviously meant to be funny, it sounded as if the astronauts were made of extra crunchy pork skins! I'm sure if they had made it more realistic, we kids would have needed therapy! <BR/><BR/>The warbling siren sounds the aliens made was funny too, as if they were wearing them on their heads.Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620242838963213494.post-44111383684007045952008-08-27T10:06:00.000-07:002008-08-27T10:06:00.000-07:00I love Disney horror, and those model kits were/ar...I love Disney horror, and those model kits were/are too cool for words. I scared myself silly as a youngster listening to the thrilling, chilling sounds record- As usual, I lost or destroyed my original copy, but I was lucky enough to snag another one a few years back. Listening to it now makes me laugh to think that I was actually scared by the sounds of that alien munching on the astronauts!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669433979334259774noreply@blogger.com
