That is amazing! Thanks! I was really young when they were building Splash, I dont remember it ever looking like that. I do remember it being there, and yet still not open yet though. I think I was 6 or 7 when it opened.

That is very cool! I can remember being there the year it was being made, guess I was around 12 years old? But those pictures are better then what I remember seeing, I think it was more done then that when I was there. That CM looks like he's just thrilled to be there doesn't he? LOL

Thanks for posting those!

Amazing how it looks today, just like it is a real mountain, those Disney Imagineers are amazing!

That was fun to see again - I worked at DL during the time that Splash was under construction - fond memories. I remember going by and checking on construction often. This was cool. Thanks.

at the CM pic!!!

I never knew there was someone sitting there either. I'll have to up my carrot intake before we go to ensure I can see them sitting there in the dark!

Thanks for posting the pics! I've seen some before but these were new to me.

At that CM! Man, does that guy look like he's having fun!! He must be one party animal!!!


I never knew that CM was there either! I'm going to look for them next time.

That CM is hilarious! I hope he doesn't have to play one of the "happy" characters, or he'd be stressed out big time.
