One A Day - Not really on this day in 1999

Anaheim CA Disneyland The Matterhorn Bobsleds

In November of 1999 I left Disneyland for a career in the video game industry. I didn't know how it was going to work out but I was willing to take the chance. It turned out pretty good and I even got this Major Award from Gordon and Rose on my last day.

One A Day - Not really on this day

Anaheim CA Disneyland The Matterhorn


On my last day working at Disneyland I went around and took pictures with friends. This is Harold. He is one of the hardest working dudes at Disneyland. He yells at people all day and people love it. I took my picture with him.

One A Day - Not really on this day in 1999

Anaheim CA Disneyland

Apparently I didn't do anything photo worthy today so here is a photo I took on my last day when we were getting the Matterhorn Bobsleds ready to open. Part of the procedure is to cycle the sleds through the mountain a few times to get them warmed up. As they warm up the grease in the wheels heats up and becomes more efficient and the sleds speed up. When the sleds are empty and cold they don't have enough speed to make it through the lagoon so you have to catch them and push them over the final hump. This is what Dan and Steve are doing in this shot. It's a really nice and quiet time before things get hectic. This morning was particularly calm and foggy which adds to the photo.
