Wow, you saw all this for real?Nubo wrote:I went to disneyland when I was about 10, and Tomorrowland was really the only thing that remotely interested me. Well, that and the "Yippies" that took over the park that day.
They closed early for the first time ever, and began evacuating the park while my friends and I were having a great time "trapped" on Tom Sawyer's Island. Our parents, meanwhile, were apoplectic. Ah, the good old days when a pack of 10-year-olds would be set loose without supervision in a crowded public venue for hours on end. I think today parents would have their children taken away and probably face jail time.

Seems the Yippies got high and took over Tom Sawyer Island, also one of my favorites....
But, yeah. The days of danger when I'd hope on my bicycle without a helmet, and just had to be back by dinner... WE set off kerosene mortars (tennis ball cans), m80s, and all kinds of stuff. My parents had no idea.
Then again, I was one of the first to use one of those old bell hard shell white helmets in my twenties...
Disneyland in college was pretty fun too the few times I went...
