It comes after the Government announced that Copeland and Allerdale areas of the MP’s constituency are moving into Tier 2 after a four-week period of lockdown.
The Prime Minister made a statement to the House, detailing the latest measures to help tackle Coronavirus, as well as the updated financial support available for businesses, including a one-off payment of £1,000 in December to pubs that do not serve food and extensions to the self-employed scheme until April 2021, and the Furlough Scheme until March 2021.
As part of the new measures, any business in England forced to close due to national or local restrictions can claim grants, via their local authority, of up to £3,000 per month, per business, depending on rateable value, including pubs in Tier 2, restaurants and hotels in Tier 3, and nightclubs nationwide.
Grants worth up to £2,100 a month will also be provided to local authorities specifically for hospitality, leisure and accommodation businesses facing reduced demand – even if they are not required to close.
In addition, councils have been allocated an extra £1.1 billion to support businesses at particular risk. This is on top of the £3 billion of support to help local authorities assist more than 4 million households next year, and builds on the £6.7billion already provided to councils this year, taking the total support to over £10 billion.
VAT will also be cut to 5 per cent as well as waived business rates for the sector this year.
The new restrictions are due to come into force across the country tomorrow (3rd December) with many people asking how the area moved from Tier 1, into lockdown and out at Tier 2.
The ‘reality’ says Mrs Harrison is that ‘the incidence of Covid increased considerably with doubling hospital admissions figures over a week’.
She said: “Lockdown thankfully worked to bring down the numbers but the prevalence of Covid remains high and the risk of increased hospital admissions and sadly unnecessary deaths is real.
“A longer period in lockdown would have reduced the transmission rate further, potentially taking us into Tier one – but that would mean no retail open for the lead up to Christmas, no hairdressers and beauty salons open, no gyms or collective worships, all resulting in much greater economic damage.”
The five factors influencing the tiered system include the cases per 100,000 which the Government’s daily UK summary highlights is 66 in Copeland and 77 in Allerdale – both below the regional North West average and England average of 237 and 218 respectively according to the latest figures from Cumbria’s Health Protection Board.
Another factor is the number of positive cases who are aged over 60, which across Cumbria for the week ending 20th November, stands at 103, against a regional average of 201 and a national average of 173.
Perhaps most encouraging is the rate of change with Copeland seeing a -46% reduction and Allerdale, a -45% decrease. This is compared to the regional average of -31% and an England average of -21%.
Mrs Harrison, added: “There is much to be hopeful about given the rate of change over the last four weeks but we must all continue to stay alert to reduce the risk of heading into Tier three, especially after Christmas.
“I have, however, urged the Prime Minister to consider the district and borough approach, to open up areas of Cumbria which have the lowest levels of infection as soon as safely possible.”
In his statement to the Commons today, The Prime Minister, said: “This is not another lockdown, nor is this the renewal of the existing measures in England. The tiers that I am proposing would mean that from tomorrow everyone in England – including those in tier 3 – will be free to leave their homes for any reason.
“And when they do, they will find the shops open for Christmas, the hairdressers open, the nail bars open, gyms and leisure centres, swimming pools open, churches, synagogues, mosques and temples will be open for communal worship. Organised outdoor sport will resume, and in every tier you will be able to meet others in parks and in public gardens subject to the Rule of Six.
“Of course I accept that this is not a return to normality. What we cannot do is lift all of the restrictions at once, or move too quickly, in such a way that the virus would begin to spread rapidly again. That would be the surest way of endangering our NHS and forcing us into a new year lockdown, with all the costs that that would impose.”

This probably sounds like a silly question, but I was watching floatplanes land on Lake Union, Seattle, and it got me wondering whether a plane that touches down onto water is still talked about as "landing" in aviation parlance.
Yes. One 'official' example is from the FAA's test standards for land and seaplanes, which includes these tasks for seaplanes:
Task H: Glassy Water Approach and Landing
Task J: Rough Water Approach and Landing
The FAA's Seaplane, Skiplane, and Float/Ski Equipped Helicopter Operations Handbook also uses it; Chapter 6 is called "Seaplane Operations - Landings".
Interestingly, the word "landing" itself isn't defined in the FAA's glossary or in 14 CFR 1.1 (the US air regulations general definitions). Presumably it's considered to be too 'obvious' to require a definition.
Not in French it isn't. French for landing is 'aterrir' which roughly translates to 'return to the land'. Using this verb for a sea 'landing' would sound silly to them so they use 'amerrir' which means 'return to the sea' (Mer being French for sea, terre is French for ground). A landing in the Moon would be 'alunir'.
This interesting fact was mentioned by the instructor on my French audio course.
No. ICAO defines a landing like this:
From the beginning of the landing flare until aircraft exits the landing runway, comes to a stop on the runway, or when power is applied for takeoff in the case of a touch-and-go landing.
And a runway like this:
A defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and take-off of aircraft
Wikipedia suggests that "landing" on water is referred to as "alighting"

San Francisco Police Chief Pressured into Apologizing for Terrorism Remarks as Obama Team Debates Further Downgrading of War on Terror
Read all about it here and here.
Will U.S. President Barack Obama condemn today's terrorist attack on Moscow's metro system as an atrocity, or again express his condolences for a "tragedy," as he did in the case of the Islamist bombing of the Nevsky Express passenger train last November?
Will his administration continue to downgrade the war on Islamist terror to the level of a law enforcement challenge?
Will the United States at last get serious about the gaping holes in passenger rail security, including Amtrak and commuter lines? Click here for news about Islamists in New York charged with plotting bombing attacks on the city's subway system.

About homeless dogs
Some background information
2nd class dogs
Puppy’s are typically born fluffy, cute, playful and a little bundle of happiness to have around.
Here in Chiang Mai, like many other places in Thailand and around the world, where animal welfare does not seem to feature high on peoples agendas, there are just far too many puppies. There are positive examples of dedicated local dog lovers who look after their own or even homeless dogs very well but sadly there are also many cases of animal neglect.
The saleable commodities of little bundles of pedigree fluff at pet markets – often bred and kept in appalling conditions – is sad but a reality. In a country where safety & common sense practices are disregarded. Everyday you can see 4 people riding a motor bike with the poodle, or similar toy dog, leaning on the handle bar resting it’s feet on the riders knees. Sometimes there’s even an umbrella opened above the drivers head too. Larger dogs that do not appear in pedigree book pictures are not readily accepted as a pet or family dog, though His Majesty King Bhumibol of Thailand, has set an example by adopting homeless dogs and encouraged others to do the same and has even published books and videos of his favourite dog “Tongdaeng”. But still, many households consider a “Thai dog” as ideal to live in their garden as a guard dog or outside their home, whilst the pedigree or toy dogs live inside the house.
Dumped on the street and in temples
Homeless dogs are largely responsible for the mass of puppies found wandering looking for food and shelter but family “latch key” dogs are possibly equally responsible. These dogs are often not sterilised and if puppies are born from family dogs, more often than not, the majority are dumped at a temple or other public place rather than found a home with a friend or neighbour. The truth is, if people know the Care for Dogs shelter, they sometimes try to anonymously dump a white rice sack full of fluffy bundles at the gate.
There are already so many “No Hope” dogs on the streets and if you visit markets, shop car parks or other public amenity area, where there might be food during early morning or evening, you will see them hanging around looking for food.
When dumped at temples, they fight for their lives and if they survive without being eaten or managing to find some food of their own, they will join the masses. These place are not picture card tropical rest homes but sad and dreary pitiful places. Some temples have literally hundreds and it is not because monks particularly like dogs, but because they get overwhelmed by dumped dogs from irresponsible owners. Some in fact want to move dogs out from the temples by any means possible.
Situation at the shelter
Despite a regular rate of adoptions, the numbers of residents at the shelter remains high due to the Care for Dogs team effort to find homes for dumped puppies, rather than see them starve and die on the streets or just become one of the many thousands living a life of no hope. The current budget and space at shelter allows the housing of, on average at any time, approximately 80 dogs (young & old). The shelter could have hundreds if all offered dogs were accepted, so the team tries hard to concentrate on the most urgent cases. Some dogs come to the shelter for sterilisation or treatment and leave again. Some are brought to the shelter in order to advertise them for adoption and some rescued from imminent danger of being killed. Other dogs however, enter the shelter in a sad condition as a result of one of the following scenarios.
Reality on the streets and in temples
- Dogs are often hit by cars or motorbikes, run over whilst asleep under the car or even asleep at the side of the road. Care for Dogs often receives a dog from someone who came across the dog in terrible agony after an accident. Sometimes they take the dog directly to a vet or immediately seek our assistance, either with medical costs, transportation or boarding. Sometimes the dog stays at the shelter for recuperation and then – if healthy again – returns to the area it lived in. Sometimes the person who found the sick or injured dog continues to keep an eye on them. Just once in a while, the people take the dog into their family as a pet. Illness and injury from disease (e.g. distemper or parvo virus) and the consequence of living rough on the streets, can often kill a dog. Afflictions such as nerve damage, broken bones resetting out of place, open wounds putrefying and a list of other conditions lead to dogs living shorter lives. Dying sooner in some cases would seem to be a kinder release for them. But sometimes the dog comes to the shelter in good faith of being paid for and claimed by the person who found them in the street and they never follow through with their promise
- When Care for Dogs becomes aware of any dog living with a health condition that could be improved with proper care, in the first instance we try to help the dog either by showing caring people in the area how to give medication, whilst the dog lives at its found home for instance a temple or car park. However, when we come across a dog who is living with a serious condition we will rescue the dog to the shelter and provide the care the dog requires. Sadly, quite a high number of the dogs “in for treatment” (Outpatient Dept) are neglected owner dogs.
We believe that homeless & uncaring street life must be very difficult for sick, injured or aging dogs. These individuals are not likely to be candidates for adoption, with health baggage to consider, a few scars of life and not being looked upon as fluffy bundles anymore. Therefore, the consequence of some of Care for Dogs rescue work, results in taking dogs with a poor outlook to the, even if they have only low adoption chances but at least giving them some quality of life.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Vince Gilligan, is working on a new chapter in Breaking Bad.
According to the network, Gilligan is working on a two hour movie, although it is unclear if the production is for TV or released theatrically.
“Gilligan, sources say, will pen the script, exec produce and possibly direct. Breaking Bad and prequel series Better Call Saul exec producers Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein are also said to be attached to the movie project, which is said to follow the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom. Production is expected to begin this month in New Mexico. The New Mexico Film Office confirmed that a project with the title of Greenbrier is slated to film in in the region,” the report said.
Recall that Breaking Bad became a critical breakout for AMC and ran for five seasons. AMC and producers Sony TV quickly greenlit prequel series Better Call Saul as Gilligan’s follow-up series. Saul, featuring Bob Odenkirk’s small-time lawyer, has been renewed for a fifth season at AMC set to air in 2019.

Teaming up with three artists from Leeds and Three artists from Manchester, I was asked to complete work for a week long 'rapid' exhibition. The exhibition was organised by Test Space, Leeds in association with NOISElab. The idea was to create work within one day at factory, which is an amazing studio in Leeds, complete with screen printing beds, exposing units, wood workshop, jewellery making, upholstery and everything else you might need to create create great work; 3D, 2D or otherwise. The brief was to create work to represent either Leeds or Manchester, I really enjoyed creating the work in the space of one day as it was a good way to do something outside of university and create work, which reflects my personal style.

#65 - Defending anti-vaxxing boomers
George Blaha talks about: the weight of some Christmas ornaments, questioning everything and hate bandwagons
This episode completely defines how much of a contrarian I am. I talk about Christmas trees and how some Christmas ornaments weight too much. I go on a rant about agreeable people who don't question whats in front of them and how those people should't act as if they have it all figured out. This brought me to talk about all the hate surrounding boomers, how some people are taking it way too seriously and that at the end of the day(sadly) just like us, boomers are just individuals that are trying to get by.

I added snow white flower soft to Santa Edwin's fur and stickles to the candy cane and Tilda's gold dress. The lights are actually miniature ornaments. All papers are from My Mind's Eye. You can see the individual letters up close in my next post. I made this for the challenge over at Magnolia-llicious Highlites. The challenge was to create a letter or word project using Magnolia stamps.
Stamps: Santa Edwin, Peppermint, Gingerbread Tilda, Edwin's Package, Tilda Wants a Hug
NOEL: Base Camp Cricut cartridge cut at 4.25 inches
Christmas Trees: Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge cut at 4 inches
Copics: Gooo, Goo, G05, G07, R27, R37, R46, R59, G21, G85, C3, C5, C7, C1, B93, B95, B97, E40, E41, E00, E21, W1, E33, E31, E35, E37, E51, E43, E53 and E57

Statistics are powerful but sometimes we don't do the math. What we can also glean from the above is that 60 percent of the Tea Party are under age 55; 21 percent are people of color, and 39 percent are women.
Some earlier stats collected by a University of Toronto professor (reported with caution, though, since samples were small) reveal that "there's a relationship between the amount of education one has and the strength of their religious beliefs. Getting an education tends to drive you away from the most fundamentalist religions. That's probably why there's a smaller percentage of college educated fundamentalists (27%) compared to moderates (39%) and liberals (51%)."
Then there are fundamentalists who earned bachelor degrees from "Bible colleges," which are more likely to teach creationism than are mainstream schools and universities.
According to the Bloomberg poll, again, more than 44 percent of the Tea Party are "born-agains" or other categories of fundamentalist Christian.
CNN, Bloomberg, the University of Toronto professor? Two out of three, at least, are mainstream sources. I don't know enough about statistics to modernize these stats on the basis of mathematical probabilities, nor was I able to access more up-to-date figures.
There are many more conclusions possible from the above figures. I choose to draw the conclusion I wanted to draw: that a substantial percentage, maybe as high as 50 percent of Tea Party members, are not as steeped in the Enlightenment culture that is still the theoretical basis of our democracy as are others of us, classified by the University of Toronto professor as moderates or liberals.
Add the above considerations to all of the election corruption that interfered with an accurate vote count in 2010 (the most corrupt election in U.S. history up until then) and acquire at least an idea why the Tea Party gained so many seats in Congress and are running the show even though a million more votes were gleaned by non-Tea Party candidates who somehow were not seated in offices they would have won had it not been for redistricting that clumps inner-city minorities into fewer and fewer electoral units, paving the road for more GOP victories, and the beat goes on, with the Electoral College another target.
The ruling "winner take all" will acquire a new denotation. The GOP will take all through ingenuity. Whither the informed public? Many minds will indeed be filled with misinformation.
Whither higher-level thinking? Get this: McDonald's or Exeter/Harvard, no oxymoron in this topsy-turvy, progressively (not in the political sense) less rational twenty-first century.
Prove me wrong. I will be vastly relieved.
After all, according to today's New York Times "Opinionator," Conservatives believe that the cause of the "skills-based gap" is " educational failure." Liberals agree. The gap "offers an opportunity to criticize our government-run system of public education and especially . . . [you don't want to read the rest]."
These same conservatives also support withdrawing federal funding from sources of higher education that persist in raising tuition.
Remember, the New York Times is studying conservatives without mentioning fundamentalists or Tea Party people at all. The conservatives include George F. Will and Jon M. Huntsman Jr., who might think twice when reading that "[s]ince 1979 the income gap between people with college or graduate degrees and people whose education ended in high school has grown."
So there seems to be some hope, though the rest of the Times blog advocates the revival of unions as a fundamental step toward righting (in the nonpolitical sense) the economy, with which these same conservatives would likely take issue.
But conservatives are coming out against "educational failure." Is it too late? According to a 2010 Gallup poll, " Conservative Republicans outnumber moderate/liberal Republicans in the general population by about a 2-to-1 margin; among Tea Party supporters, the ratio is well more than 3 to 1." The "Opinionator" seems to define Conservative as moderate/liberal or at least moderate. But who knows? The definition should have been clearer.
Nonetheless, as I've written before, my faith in the post-boomer generations persists. They must channel all of their brilliance and creativity away from Wall Street to the sciences. Because science holds answers that will save the world--the environment, that is.

It's not quite time for the official announcements about who will be on the 'Strictly Come Dancing' lineup, but The Sun has revealed that Steps star Faye Tozer will be one of the celebs on the show, despite having years of experience as a dancer.
Faye, who was one-fifth of hit '90s group Steps, has danced in numerous stage shows including 'Singin’ in the Rain', 'Over the Rainbow' and 'Tell Me on a Sunday'.
Her CV says she has experience in the likes of ballet, ballroom, burlesque, salsa and tap. It means she will no doubt be great to watch on the floor but is it an unfair advantage?
Some people think so and in the past the BBC have been criticised for bringing on celebs with prior dance experience. A TV insider told The Sun: "Few in the past have had quite so much professional performance time as Faye.
"Everyone expects her to be a strong contender but it will raise more questions over whether it’s fair for someone who has danced professionally to be up against people with no experience."
When asked about the line-up the BBC said: "We do not comment on speculation, the full 'Strictly' lineup will be announced in due course."

Gender equality is a view that means no one should be discriminated against on the grounds of their gender, everyone should receive equal treatment. It is one of the objectives of the united nations universal declaration of human rights. It aims to create equality in law as well as social situations such as securing equal pay for equal work. Gender equality is also termed as equality, gender egalitarianism. Gender equality is achieved when both men and women enjoy the same rights in all sectors such as law, society, economic participation, and decision-making. When the need for men and women are equally valued and favored.
Now the question raised, how do we measure gender equality? Gender equality can be measured on the basis of menll let you know about the laws of some countries that stand in a way of gender equality:
DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo)
In DRC, a law state that a husband is the head of the household, and the wife should obey her husband.
In Yemen, wives are required to have . The law also states that they need to obey her husband and refrain from leaving home unless their husbands will not give permission to do so.

Husbands are allowed to punish their wives using physical force, the purpose behind such action is .
Women are not allowed to be employed in any industrial establishment at night.

The final year of the last millennium: The total solar eclipse was clouded over Britain and the euro was born. Probably because there are few fanfares, a personal savings account has been opened.
But enthusiastic savers who piled up stocks and shared personal savings accounts in April 1999, and those who rolled over the pot of personal wealth planning, may have ruined the decision in the years that followed. ..
Ten years after stock prices soared, and after the dawn of the new millennium, the party soon ended. The FTSE 100 Index has lost almost half of its value in the three years since Christmas 1999.
I saw it coming: The 1999 total solar eclipse, largely hidden by clouds over Britain, was widely anticipated. This is not the case with the 2000 dot-com crash.
Laith Khalaf, a financial analyst at investment platform AJ Bell, said 1999 was “not necessarily an auspicious time” to start investing. “The technology bubble burst, the split-cap investment trust scandal exploded, and stocks were about to fall into a three-year bear market,” he says.
Indeed, after a few more big booms and busts, Footsie has recorded little profit in the last 22 years. The index has risen by more than 5%, purely due to the rise in capital.
Even if the dividend was reinvested, the FTSE 100 Tracker would have won 127%, or virtually 50%, shy after considering inflation. So much may be observed about “time in the market”.
So when Isas turned 22, where did investors make the most profits in their lifetime, if not the best London-listed companies? In the first place, those shadowing the FTSE 250 Index would have achieved far better performance with a 615% return over the period.
How has the stock index changed since Isas was launched in April 1999?
“There was a lot of turmoil about the strength of the US stock market,” says Khalaf. “But in reality, UK small and medium cap stocks have shown a clean pair to the S & P 500 since 1999.”
While the FTSE Small Cap Index has risen 404% over the period, it has been the funds that have been concentrating on small UK companies, alongside Asian equity companies, that have provided great returns for investors.
This was partially achieved by significantly exceeding the index. This suggests that in some sectors, at least active management may be worth the money.
The best performing funds and mutual funds since Isas was launched
On the free side of things (what Savers commonly call funds, OEICs, or unit trusts), the top 10 performers since April 1999 have been dominated by the UK and European SME sectors.
How have open-ended funds worked since Isas was launched? * Average performance of all investment association sectors during this period. This number can be used as a substitute for average investor returns.
China will conduct a survey with two funds, with 10 rounded off by Picte’s biotechnology vehicles.
The outstanding winner is the Marlboro Special Situation Fund, which has a spectacular total return of 3,502%, which would have turned the £ 1,000 lump sum invested at the start of the period into £ 36,019 now.
The fund, run by Giles Hargreave and his team, has approximately 135 holdings, including medium-capitalization stocks. This is the best performing vehicle of all kinds in 22 years, with the exception of no other fund in the top 10 mutual funds.
Close-ended funds, which are listed on the UK equity market and can be borrowed and invested, have achieved much higher returns than open-ended funds.
How have investment trusts worked since Isas was launched? The Far East exposure and healthcare and biotechnology sectors have significant characteristics.
The current poster boy of the investment trust and Scottish Mortgage, a member of the FTSE 100, ranked in the top 10 after being an early supporter of today’s tech giants. The £ 1000 invested there in the first Isa would have earned you £ 21,232 so far.
But trusts focused on Asia, healthcare, biotechnology, and again small businesses outperformed even this beloved retail investor. Baillie Gifford’s stable partner, Pacific Horizon Trust, would have turned your ground to £ 35,271.
The small business theme has been taken over by Scottish Oriental and the private equity vehicle Hg Capital Trust.
Lessons for Isa Investors This Year
Investors today are advised to consider the ISA portfolio small, as the excellent performance of SME funds is evident in all developed markets.
“Recently, investors have turned to cryptocurrencies and meme stocks to get a fortune, but instead, given the time to grow, they are offered by some small business funds. You might consider an amazing return, “says Wraith Carafe.
Performance of the fund sector in major developed countries and their SMEs. Funds in major sectors are usually heavily biased towards large caps, with medium-cap exposures as well. However, in all four regions, small businesses far outperform the major good business sectors.
The data also suggests that active funds may be worth the fees-especially in sectors like small businesses, well-informed managers can choose winners for some companies. May not even be listed on the stock market.
As already mentioned, the FTSE 100 Index Tracker returned a 127% return over the 22 years in question. This is a significant improvement in returns for most fund sectors and mutual funds.
Other global indexes may have improved significantly, but show that caution is still needed when choosing trackers and passive funds.
Khalaf also notes, observing that “there is a clear resonance with 1999, there are signs of bubbling behavior in Bitcoin and meme stock prices, and the tech sector is making a tremendous move.” Arouses.
“Big tech giants in the US market are much stronger than many flimsy start-ups in the late 1990s, but their high valuations still need attention,” he adds.
“But investors can be captivated by the long-term returns harvested on all stock markets since 1999, despite the turmoil of the first few years of the Millennium.”
Small Cap Fund Proposal for This Year’s ISA
Suggestions from Laith Khalaf, AJ Bell
TB Amati UK SMEs
Dr. Paul Jourdan has been running the fund for over 20 years and the entire team has experience in small cap investment. They are looking for a high quality company with a competitive advantage. They focus on the AIM market, but can invest in stocks up to the FTSE250.
Standard Life UK Small Companies Trust
Fund manager Harry Nemo has been running the trust since 1993. He wants to invest in tomorrow’s largest enterprise today and runs a concentrated portfolio of small and medium-sized businesses with good growth prospects and strong finances to survive the occasional storm.
Telworth UK SMEs
Paul Marriage and John Warren prefer not to invest in oil and gas, mining, or biotechnology, but instead focus on more predictable areas of the market. They are looking for market leaders with pricing power and misunderstood companies that are undergoing a period of change.

In the shadow of Walt Disney’s original theme park, a miniature miracle of magic known as the Castle Peak and Thunder Railroad replaces one family’s backyard. This is no ordinary train set; pint-sized versions of iconic attractions peppered with tiny characters season the landscape.
Many of the attractions of Disneyland have their origins in Walt Disney movies, and it should not be a surprise to find 50 different Walt Disney animated films represented at the sprawling small gauge train display. Characters, scenes, and posters from these cartoon classics add to the enchantment of this private collection.
The comfortable California climate encourages many homeowners to build a swimming pool behind their homes. However, in 1999, Anaheim architect David Sheegog transformed his backyard into his own personal Fantasyland. Castle Peak and Thunder Railroad combined complex train tracks (and their corresponding trains) with familiar facades of Disneyland in a garden setting.
Walt Disney was a railroad enthusiast. Tribute to his passion pervades the small-scale scenery. Display creator Dave can even be seen peering out of one of the locomotives as it zooms around the tracks. Several of the locomotives which served Disneyland star in this backyard showcase.
Disney classics like Casey Jr. travel the rails at Castle Peak and Thunder Railroad. The colorful circus train circumnavigates the backyard garden, gliding past waterfalls and across wooden bridges. Mickey and Minnie Mouse can be seen enjoying the ride.
While miniature miles of track crisscross Castle Peak and Thunder Railroad, familiar faces and favorite attractions add to the allure. The Disneyland Railroad Station, Haunted Mansion, Grizzly Rock and the San Francisco bridge from Disney California Adventure, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Co. train station, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and Partners statue represent Walt’s theme park. Some attractions, like Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, show up apart from the train tracks. Other spectacular scenes include Belle’s village from “Beauty and the Beast” (complete with castle), Captain Hook’s pirate ship and the lost boys from “Peter Pan,” Rapunzel’s tower from “Tangled,” Pride Rock from “The Lion King,” and many more magical movie manifestations.
This impressive creation not only fills David Sheegog’s backyard, but the character and poster dotted track extends past the display to “pick-up” passengers at the remote Anaheim Resort bus stop. Castle Peak and Thunder Railroad are occasionally open to the public. To enjoy a firsthand experience of this stunning feat of at home Imagineering, keep an eye on their website and Facebook page for open house details and updates to the scenery.
