This blog has nothing to do with gorillas (though I love 'em)...fellow bloggers have inspired me to share vintage images of Disneyland from my personal collection. But don't be surprised if you see something from a World's Fair, Knott's Berry Farm, or someplace else that is cool!

Tomorrowland, June 1964
I am intrigued by the small glimpse into the entrance of the Rocket to the Moon attraction in this 1964 photo. What are those large spheres? A blast of vapor is escaping from side of the rocket (with Douglas markings at this point), hinting at the power of its liquid-fueled engine. The Autopia seems to be down, no young commuters are visible...in fact things look suprisingly calm for a June day. Maybe it's still early! And unfortunately, you can't see the Flying Saucers in this shot (futuristic pine trees block our view).
Great view, where do you think this was taken from. It is an elevated view with the Skyway in it....
ReplyDeleteYa know, I never thought about it! What do you think, could it have been taken from the Monorail or its loading platform?
