Rejects... UNREJECTED!

Here are some more previously-rejected (for one reason or another) slides that I have now deemed to be suitable for viewing by the general public. Both of today's examples were (you guessed it) a shade of magenta that I was unable to deal with years ago. But things have changed!

Let's start with this lovely shot of Rainbow Ridge (as seen from the Mark Twain), circa 1956. The "Rainbow Caverns Mine Train" did not open until July 2, 1956, so it was all brand-new at this point; the plants on that raw hillside to our left would soon be lush and green. I was pleased with the way the blues were restored, especially that sky.  And it's nice to see that corner of Frontierland bustling with lots of guests.

The guests do not appear to be dressed for hot summer weather, so perhaps this is later in the year - say November or thereabouts. The benches to our right are full of people relaxing and watching the mine trains as they cycle past the loading platform.

There's the Pack Mules! Notice the girl with the white Mickey Mouse Club shirt.

Here's another magenta slide, restored to the best of my abilities. Dad is blazing a fashion trail by wearing a hoodie. Meanwhile, Mom wears a more traditional souvenir hat, and Junior admires his "Zorro" hat. These folks are dining at the Plaza Pavillion; we can just see the new Carnation Plaza Gardens in the distance.
