MMD Archives February 1997 1997.02.28 03 Prev  Next Horse-drawn Calliope in New Orleans By Craig Smith When Kathay and I were at the World's Fair in New Orleans a few years ago (1983?) we saw a large, horse-drawn calliope wagon. I saw the picture I took of it just a few days ago -- it was metallic silver. They told us it belonged to Disney. Real steam! They wouldn't play it though. Craig Smith [ When I worked at Disneyland in the late '60s one of the old-timers [ mentioned a steamer Walt had acquired. "Why isn't it in the parades [ here?", I asked. His short reply: "California smog laws." [ (But I played a Tangley cal-li-ope for several seasons.) -- Robbie (Message sent Fri 28 Feb 1997, 17:20:34 GMT, from time zone GMT-0800.) Key Words in Subject:  Calliope, Horse-drawn, New, Orleans
