November 1959: In Living Color, Pt. 4

Scarf-gal is clinging tightly to her Astro Jet rocket as it circles around Tomorrowland. In shot #2, the Clock of the World provides a wacky welcome to all who enter Tomorrowland. Today, that wacky welcome (and a traffic bottleneck) is brought to you by the Astro Orbiter. If rumors are true, the Orbiter is destined to either be removed or returned back to its original site. Either way, it will be nice to have the entrance to Tomorrowland cleaned up again.



For have also included a closeup of the Moonliner and various signage.



For those of you that didn’t read CoxPilot’s comments yesterday (fantastic as always), here is a comparison photo of the General Dynamic signpost and the stage for the Yachtsman that was eventually attached to that signpost:





Tomorrow we visit other lands in this series. See more Disneyland Tomorrowland photos at my website.

November 1959: In Living Color, Pt. 3

At the time these photos were taken, guests had a choice in Autopias; unfortunately for our photographer, he was probably just a little too big for the Junior Autopia. Can you imagine taking the time for a goofy shot like this today? You’d probably be run over by angry guests.

Scarf-Gal seems to be having a blast in her jaunty little Autopia car.



In this closeup, you can see the badge of this tie-wearing cast member who is assisting Scarf-Gal:



A beautiful blue Monorail is zooming over the Submarine Voyage lagoon. At this point, the Monorails were less than 6 months old.



The General Dynamics sponsorship for the Subs is far from subtle here!



Scarf-Gal actually looks a little seasick as she gets back to dry land from her voyage on the Skate sub.



More to come tomorrow! See more Disneyland Tomorrowland photos at my website.
