Museum of Jurassic Technology





Like a coat of two colors, the Museum serves dual functions. On the one hand the Museum provides the academic community with a specialized repository of relics and artifacts from the Lower Jurassic, with an emphasis on those that demonstrate unusual or curious technological qualities. On the other hand the Museum serves the general public by providing the visitor a hands-on experience of "life in the Jurassic"....

The Haunted Mansion




"At the time of its opening in 1969, some considered Disneyland's Haunted Mansion a disappointment. Ken Andersen, an Imagineer who was responsible for many of the mansion's early concepts and storylines, was upset with how the attraction turned out; Imagineer Marc Davis claimed that "too many cooks" had been working on the attraction. Some park guests wondered why the attraction wasn't scarier. Nonetheless, today the attraction is one of the most popular in the park, drawing thousands of guests every day."

On The Way to Smugglers Cove

 
 



 
 

 
 
"In its vastness and variety of flora, fauna, and geology, Santa Cruz Island resembles a miniature California. At over 96 square miles in size and the largest island in California, Santa Cruz contains two rugged mountain ranges; a large central valley/fault system; deep canyons with year-round springs and streams; and 77 miles of craggy coastline cliffs, giant sea caves, pristine tidepools, and expansive beaches. These varied landforms support more than 600 plant species in 10 different plant communities, from marshes and grasslands to chaparral and pine forests. There are 140 landbird and 11 land mammal species; three amphibian and five reptile species; large colonies of nesting seabirds, breeding seals, and sea lions; and other diverse marine animals and plants."
