Here are two shots from the 2nd day the park was open of the Stagecoach ride. I sure do miss all the different forms of transportation once available in Frontier/Adventureland; they just seem to be shrinking away. The Keelboats, The Stagecoach, the mules...well, maybe not the mules.
See more vintage Disneyland Stagecoach photos at my main website.
I didn't know that the Stagecoach once loaded so close to the river. In the second photo, way in the distance, you can see yet another horse-drawn conveyance (the buckboard?).
ReplyDeleteGreat views. At Disneyland they now have two of the surreys out at the petting farm area. On one is a great Surrey Rides sign and in the cabin they have placed another Surrey ride sign in the display. There is also a great image of Main Street in 1959 with all the vehicles out. This shot and Major's comments sparked this comment.
ReplyDeletereally...i'm amazed they loaded that close to the river.
ReplyDeletei never saw the stagecoach actually in the park but they did have it on display at the Autry Disney and the West show years ago. absolutley a work of art. even better is to see it as a FUNCTIONING work of art!
