Great view of the old Mission Control for the Rocket to the Moon attraction. Check out the image on the screen of the monitor.

CoxPilot said...: I remember walking past this (big glass wall out of the picture on the right) and watching the standing guy give an animatronics lecture. It was neat the first time, but dull anytime after. It really looked a lot better in color. There was a lot of "mission control-like" sound effects that we have all heard in movies, etc, so nothing new. It was more like an tribute to the past, rather than "tomorrow"-land (even then when it was new).; 11:38 AM

TokyoMagic! said...: Always loved seeing this scene before "boarding." The park needs more audio-animatronic "human" performers!; 5:19 PM
