Been going to Disney World since the mid 1980’s. The only time we really ever rode the train was to get to the other side of the park when we arrived. Not much to see, but a great way to get from one end to the other quickly. The three stops on this train helps you navagate the park easily without having to walk it especially in the heat of the summer. So when we started to go to Disneyland there was not much reason to ride the train since the park is not nearly as big as the Magic Kingdom in Fl. But on our recent trip to Disneyland my wife’s ankle was bothering her and for the first time decided to take the train around the park just for a rest from walking. First thing we did not know was there were 4 stops in Disneyland park. The second and the best part which for the two of us who have been going to Disney parks for many many years were pleasantly suprised when the train took us through the Grand Canyon and then through Primeval world of the Dinosaurs. These Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals came from the Fords Magic Skyway attraction from the 1964 worlds Fair in New York. I hate to date myself but I was lucky enough to have attended that Worlds Fair. Believe it or not, it was on a class trip when I was in grade school and I lived in New Jersey. Both of us were very shocked when we saw this and now we will take that train ride every time we go to Disneyland. Is my wife and I the only two people who did not know this?
