Write your reply.

assistant: No, the sound track for that post was "Night on Bald Mountain" from
"Fantasia". You should have your audio board checked!
Is that why I feel a strange compulsion to jump out of the boat on "It's
a Small World"?
Kirk Douglas sang "A Whale of a Tale" in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".
The recording of it kinda explains why he didn't record any more.
Of course, I just assumed that you would know he sang the part of
Allan-a-Dale the rooster in "Robin Hood".
Only got a six CD changer.
I'll get started on a proposal for Hyperion as soon as I get a day free.

no date.

access to a computer so that she can join us online... this board needs some

My official guidebook says to call 714-520-2500 for information on the

card). The cost is $65.00 for two years ($35.00 for five years if you

your membership material (my Disneyland guidebook says 4 weeks).
Also, you are not bothering me, and it is nice to chat with you.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Bruce,
From what I heard at about the time it was closed is similar to what Kit had
stated earlier.  But, there was a domino effect for meeting the California
Disablity standards.  First they would have redesign the loading area to
allow wheelchair access, which would mean a long ramp or an elevator.  Since
the ride is basically used for one way travel, the gondolas would have to be
larger to accomodate the chair (at least a folded wheelchair).  Due to state
requirements, they need minimum clearances for the gondolas while moving
along the cable, which in short meant, bigger holes in Matterhorn.  Disney
didn't want bigger holes in Matterhorn, so they closed the ride down instead.
Don't know how true that is, but it did sound logical, for both Disney and
the state requirements.  Then again, the above rumor may have been spread to
placate those guests that liked Skyway, by telling them they had a choice,
Skyway or Matterhorn.
Have I cluttered the reasons further?
