I'm using up some scans from my friend Mr. X, from photos that he took in 1998 (with one exception), so let's go!
Here's an unusual view taken from the back of a Casey Jr. Circus Train looking at the track and undulating hedges (which presumably blocked off some unsightly backstage views). Notice the chain lift in the track, this is where Casey thinks he can.
Next is a shot from Frontierland - I believe that Rancho del Zocalo would be roughly behind us, and the Rivers of America in front of us. Hard to believe that we can't see any of the water, or even a bit of the Mark Twain or Columbia peeking up above the trees and plants.
By 1998, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had been at Disneyland for 19 years - just a little less than its predecessors - the Rainbow Caverns Mine Train (1956-1959) and the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland (1960-1977). It's a fun ride, though it lacks some of the charm and depth of the old Mine Train rides.
This last one is from 1999, and of course it shows the wonderful Snow White Grotto, brought to you by Mountain Dew Red. It's EXTREME! Make an extreme wish at the nearby wishing well, won't you?
Many thanks to Mr. X!
