Tomorrowland, 1956 (Post #400)
I think that you'll all agree that this is an exceptionally nice image of Tomorrowland, from December 29th, 1956. Great color, lots of activity, and plenty of chewy, vintage goodness. I love the dramatic perspective of the multicolored Skyway buckets as they head towards Snow Mountain (the Matterhorn is still several years away). There's the Yacht Bar, and the lagoon that used to be home to the Phantom Boats (long gone by this time). In the distance, Fantasyland Station (with the passenger train just visible), as well as the Junior Autopia. You can even see Monstro's shiny noggin.

The slide has everything. A train is at the Fantasyland station, attraction posters everywhere and such great color. Congrats on the 400 post. It is a lot of work, but worth the effort! Here's to 400 more posts!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments as always, I still have some good slides to share - - for a few months, anyway!
ReplyDeleteSomething is missing in that slide...maybe a huge Swiss Mountain and a few yodelers. Great view!
ReplyDeleteGreat - as usual!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow - 400 posts! You lasted a lot longer than I did! Maybe I'll come back after the Knott's book is out.
More than a little late but this is one of my favorites so far too. Feels like I'll be sailing in the sky shortly! And what an intriguing place I'll be over, it just gets better all the time.
