The Autopia, 1950's-style



Today’s first photo of the Tomorrowland Autopia is from the same March 1956 batch as yesterday’s post. In the background is the Mickey Mouse Club Circus tent, still lingering even though Mickey Mouse no longer inhabited by the tent by this time. However, as Jason from Parkendium pointed out, the large tent was gone by January 1956, which means this slide was shot earlier (and developed in March). 

The next two shots are from one year later, where we see Roddy & Sharon...



and Jennifer & Caroline zipping around the track, with the Fantasyland Depot behind them.

These are wonderful photos and this batch has some great coloring. I love Autopia in all its various forms through the years. And to think it's the only original Tomorrowland attraction left. Hang in there, Autopia! You've been going great for 60 years. I hope you have more. Thanks, Dave.
