1959 is one of the most exciting years in the park’s history. 3 of the biggest attractions opened all at the same time: The Monorail, The Matterhorn, and The Submarine Voyage. Happily, all three are still with us, although the Subs have had a bit of a change theme. Shot #1 for today shows the banners over Main Street proclaiming the new attractions as the Horse-Drawn Streetcar is pulled underneath.
Here’s a gleaming new Monorail taking passengers over the Submarine Voyage:

See more vintage & current Disneyland photos at my regular website. Want to add some fun to your next trip to Disneyland? Alan Joyce’s new book, “Secrets of the Mouse” is the perfect travel companion to enhance your visit to Anaheim.
Definitely a great year for Disneyland and some really fine pictures for us. Thanks Dave.
ReplyDeleteMore great photos, Dave! Do you happen to know why or when they got rid of the stone bridge on this side of the Matterhorn? I only noticed this recently, but it's now just "rockwork".
ReplyDeleteWHAT? No more Carousel o' Progress?? ;-)
