I loved his houses modeled around grain elevators, and of course the actual Dymaxion Auto (one of which is still in Reno) It's funny to consider when Walt built Disneyland it was to capture a moment in time special to him...America @ 1900. About the same amount of time has passed since from the time the park opened until now. It would be interesting to consider the idea of establsihing a Main Street Garden Groveland where the strawberries are grown by japanese speaking guys and sold from plywood huts to tourists in aqua finned DeSotos, and slant 6 valiants (along with Orange Julius' and Tommy's Originals) A short animatronic feature could be "visit with B1-Bob...all in hopes of candycoating and encapulating a moment in American time which Disneyland might have helped drown out by it's own sucess. There should also be a Swap Meet (not flea market) like the Bazaar in Adventurland. I guess it sounds like a synical view of the California park...and maybe it is...with less Frankie and Annette, Golden Gate and movie set. More Oil pumps and eichlers.
