Knott's Berry Farm, July 1964

Howsabout some more vintage Knott's Berry Farm? Put on your boysenberry-shaped hat and pull up a chair. 

Have I seen this "Welcome to Ghost Town" sign before? Hmmm, if so I don't recall it. It's a giant book carved from a whole sequoia tree. That's my story, anyway! Walter Knott wants you to know that about the rugged people who settled the West. Without government! Down below is the gold mine, where you could pan for REAL GOLD; I believe that the Covered Wagon Camp would be behind us, and the statue of Seldom Seen Slim was nearby.

The burro-powered merry-go-round was located near Old MacDonald's Farm, and this girl is having the time of her life. She keeps her emotions in check, but trust me, inside she's giggling. The only way to improve matters is if she had a menthol cigarette and a vodka gimlet. 

There she is again, with her not-dorky brother. I am so impressed with the way she hides her true feelings! Could she be part Vulcan? Handsome Brady and Whiskey Bill find her aloof manner to be amusing.

Tomorrowland - August, 1967

I have two rather blue slide scans for you, but they are from the New Tomorrowland, back when it truly was new (having debuted on July 18th, just a few weeks before these pictures were taken). 

There's lots going on in this first one, with the Skyway and Peoplemover, the Autopia, the little ticket booth, and guests taking in the view from the upper level of the Carousel of Progress (that opened on July 2nd). Not to mention the famous Senegal palm - not quite as famous as the Dominguez palm, but it's up there. I was wondering about the marks on the slurry in the lower left, I assume that there were holes for stanchions at one time. Or they were meteorite impacts.

Panning to the right, there's the Tomorrowland Terrace stage (a cousin to the ticket booth in the previous image), the "Flight to the Moon" attraction, and more Peoplemover fun - along with the Rocket Jets way up high.
