FJ45 at Disneyland?

[5280Hawk]

Yep,

I saw this one waiting in line for the Grizzly River Run. Its a water rapids ride at Disney's California Adventure Park, right next to Disneyland in Anaheim.

they are basically using it as a prop. Any body else seen it or know anything about it?

 

[nuclearlemon]

do a search...been there for a couple of years.

 

[D'Animal]

You didn't take any parts off of it did you?

 

[dieseldude]

Finally a real reason to visit Disney.

 

[5280Hawk]

I did search, "Disneyland" and "California" in the 45 section.


0 results.

cause it's not tech, it's chat

 

[5280Hawk]

yeah, just found them in Chat.

It's acquired alot of rust over the past 2-3 years.

Too bad.

 

[Mikesta]

I wonder if that winch would fit in a backpack.

 

[rommeldog]

I was just there last week and thought that it was a mirage. I checked the poor girl out and I think rust has got the better of her. Truly the only reason to visit disneyhell. Jason

i tried getting ahold of it last year to no avail...

 

[lowenbrau]

It was there five years ago. A cool bastion for the cause, reaching into the minds of millions of young people.

Even then it had no emblems though. Is that a Disney policy?

 

[Rhinoliner]

I wonder if someone could sneak one of those tailgate chains off for me? Seems like they could get by with just one of them for their purpose.

I was thinking the same thing.

God forbid they give Toyota any publicity.

They should just stick an old willy's in there instead, they are a dime a Dozen

Someone had a backpack.

Sorry to dredge up this ancient thread, but

I saw the infamous disney FJ45 this weekend during the Disneyland half marathon. It was on the back lot with a hand written tag on it that saitd "To Property Control" which means they are doing something with it. Could mean it is being ficpxed back up for display as the rust has gotten very bad, the bottom of thr doors are now rusted through.

On the other hand they may be just scrapping it due to the rust. I didnt get a detailed look as I was running fast to try and set a personal record and we couldnt back track to that part of the course.

I know various people have talk about tryimg to get that truck from Disney over the years. Now may be the time to try if anyone wants it.

I used to work at Disney.... Property Control is the department that takes all things old and need to be disposed of. It usually means they are going to sell it. Have to be a Disney employee, or with an employee to purchase.

 

[Biscuit]

Any Disney employee or a theme park employee? I know a few imagineers.

I was not tall enough for that job!!

I would be perfectly cast for it though. Nope, I was a tour guide.

Anyway, down in the Florida location they have a property control location where they have auctions periodically for stuff. Should be any Disney employee. Good luck.
