Disneyland in Focus: '59 & The Matterhorn, Pt. 2



As promised, here are some colorful shots of the Matterhorn. These three were taken 10 days after opening, on June 24, 1959.





See more vintage & current Matterhorn photos at my regular website. Meanwhile in media-land, “Sleeping Beauty,” the Platinum Edition, is being released on 10/7, and boy is it a beauty (pun intended)!









The section of extras on the Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle Diorama is not to be missed.

I had forgotten how crude and artificial the openings for the sky buckets used to look before they were "fixed" to look more natural.

Until Katella Gate mentioned it, I guess the crude openings never registered with me before. But he's right, you can see that they are much rounder in later photos. Interesting!
