The railroad is one of the only things in the park that has not changed since I was a child in the 1970s, except for the stop at Toontown (the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit is now over twenty years old, so I wonder what percentage of the park’s guests know what is being referred to—but again, as I’ve noted before, no one knows who Mr. Toad is either).  It still takes you past the Grand Canyon and back in time to the Animatronic dinosaurs, a scene based on the movie Fantasia, and so not particularly new, either.

Our trip on the train the previous night had been ruined, for me, by the employee conductor who threatened to STOP THE TRAIN if the passengers did not more exactly obey his orders.  I was probably the only one who noticed—which is what the employees rely on so that they can get away with behaving like this.
