Fred, thanks for the memories. I'm thinking of The Matterhorn Bobsled -- my first roller coaster ride. It wasn't just a loading platform, lift hill and track -- it was a mountain with tunnels, a monster, and lots of water. He created an awesome themed thrill for the worlds first steel roller coaster. Thanks Fred.
Wow, thats amazing, he's such a great man. 91 is what amazing, thats really old.
"miniature versions of the park's Sleeping Beauty Castle"

91 is a nice age...and he's with Walt now.
