Issue #29 - The Mine Train
Contents:
* The Disneyland Mine Train. Our feature story covers one of the most fondly remembered of all the attractions now in Disneyland's past. First known as The Rainbow Caverns Mine Train, it was soon expanded and renamed the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland. One of the most extensive rides in Frontierland, for 21 years the little locomotives pulled their strings of ore cars through the forests of Bear Country and Beaver Valley, past cactus and geysers of the Living Desert, and into the colorful chambers of the Rainbow Caverns. Today, the high-speed tracks of the Big Thunder Railroad occupy the area, but there are still landmarks and structures which remain to remind us of the earlier attraction.
* Interview - Bob Sewell - Imagineering Model Shop Supervisor. Bob Sewell joined Walt Disney's team shortly after Disneyland opened, and was very much a part of the Nature's Wonderland Project. As head of the WED Model Shop, he supervised the planning of many classic Disneyland attractions in the 1950's and was often in charge of show installation at the Park. He developed techniques and materials used for the Grand Canyon Diorama, the Submarine Voyage, the Swiss Family Treehouse and the Enchanted Tiki Room, and with his museum diorama experience, insured that the scenes once in place were both natural and dramatic. Our conversation with Bob Sewell, this issue, covers these Disneyland attractions, his work on the New York World's Fair, and in Florida.
* TWA Rocket. The tale of Tomorrowland's Rocket to the Moon attraction was told in Issue #24 of the "E" Ticket Magazine. Although the TWA Rocket appeared in several photographs, our story necessarily focused on what the audience experienced once they entered the two domed structures and their "journey through space" began. This time we are pleased to included specific information about the beautiful Tomorrowland Rocket, including structural engineering drawings based on Disney concept art, construction photographs and technical specifications.
