Poster Row Adventureland 1961

In 1961 when construction was going on, Disneyland created a walkway from Adventureland to Frontierland around the back of the buildings housing Aunt Jemima's Pancake house. In order to camofluage the backside of the building, they constructed plywood walls and plastered attraction posters on the plywood. The poles do have tiki style heads at the top. This is the first part of the row, slide is marked Poster Row. Two unusual posters are in this view, the first is for the Astro Jets with the same artwork later used for the Rocket Jets and the second is the Satellite View of America in yellow lettering using the same artwork as for Space Station X-1 poster. I believe the current location of this shot is the Bengal Barbecue.

  1. Wow, that "Satellite View of America" variation is fascinating! Just when you think you've seen 'em all....! I am lucky to have a Space Station X-1 version, one of my favorites!
