Sawyer's Souvenir Slides of Nature's Wonderland

Once upon a time at Disneyland there was a fun audio animatronic animal filled ride that went through forests, deserts and caverns. And once upon a time, these slides were in full color. However both have disappeared, the ride being replaced by a roller coaster style wild train and the slides turning red. First up is the cavern.

Next up is the forest.

The final image is the desert.

I SO miss this ride! I loved the caverns most of all, but the desert made an impression on me as well. I still remember riding past those bubbling mud pots....Sigh....

I'll never understand why Sawyer's used Kodachrome for their Viewmaster reels, but not for some of their souvenir slides.

I remember how humid the cave felt, esp. after the heat of the desert.

I miss it too.

Thank you Matterhorn.
