Interesting! I didn't know it was on eBay.

The seller is using my old picture from the previous version of the Yesterland entry about the Rocket Jets ride as one of the pictures in the eBay ad. I took that picture in 1996. Here it is:



I'm using the same picture in the new version of the article, only this time I used a smaller portion of the picture, I reduced it less (so it's larger), and I corrected the color. Here it is:



That's one reason I'm now adding a Yesterland.com bug to a corner of each image. At least when an image is "borrowed" from Yesterland, people will know where it came from.

Wow you don't realize how ugly the Astro Orbiter is until you see the other shot of TL without them. So open and clean looking.

Does anyone have close-up of the Jets themselves? I bought one of the rocket engines on Disney Auctions a few years ago. I has the remnants of a number 7 on the cowling.

Thanks from a Disney parks fan in New Jersey.
