A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

WOW that's so cool. I have it on Google Earth but it's from late 2004 or early 2005, and you can only see it from the top. Thanks!
Eh.......I got nothing.

A good find indeed.

I wonder what day the picture is from, and if I can find my car in the guest lot?

I looked in the normal places that I park, and I don't see it, so it must be during the week.

It was taken on a weekday after 2:30 pm, if anyone can remember the day that the Marines, Air Force, or National Guard visited, they have their tent set up in front of the Southwest Territory Amphitheater, (i.e. its after July 1st but before Labor Day)

Thanks for sharing Dave.

Well, I think it's interesting how current that view is, but yet when you switch to the ariel view without the 3D effect, it's quite old. Like when you go downtown in Chicago on that map, the old Suntimes building is there, but when you go into that 3D mode, suddenly Trump Tower is about 15 stories up. Interesting map and great find!!!
