It's really given us a chance to both entertain our kid (3 1/2 yrs. old) and allow my wife and I to constantly reminisce on our own childhoods. <br /><br />I totally remember the boat rides and wondered where they went. Now it's just some weird extension for people to sit in. <br /><br />Although the "Finding Nemo" conversion of the subs is interesting, it's still not as cool as the original concept, at least IMHO. <br /><br />The matterhorn still remains probably my favorite rideā¦for the longest time I was terrified of it as a kid, and never rode it until well into my teen years. I missed out! <br /><br />I still trip out that Disneyland held onto its "scientific/futuristic vision" marketing for so long...I'm glad that it survived for as long as it did and that I was able to experience it before the major overhaul.

I used to tell my children that to get to Disneyland we'll go two miles to I-5, turn right and drive 1,152 miles south and when you see the Matterhorn, we are there!Vaughnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-27073563304469909442009-06-15T13:07:05.075-07:002009-06-15T13:07:05.075-07:00Love seeing these all the time - especially this o...Love seeing these all the time - especially this one.

Now it feels like an occasion. :)<br /><br />Matterhorn might be my all time fav attraction. "Gentlemen, slide to rear of seat, ladies..." my so awkward tee hee. <br /><br />Monorail? It's so futuristic it's been 50 years and we still get eye strain trying to see it in the future. Plus what a magnificent way to shuttle in & out of the park. That's a neat "2 Railways" bit.<br /><br />The Autopia's a fond memory, in fact it's still cute and fun to putter about on (and say that's one good lookin' cast member working the autopia hehe). <br /><br />That construction pic of the Sub and Monorail is superb. It reminds one how amazing these constructions are, and the leaps of creativity that inspired it. Dreams coming true there.Chianahttp://www.exquisiteirony.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-35458783496016416652009-06-14T11:24:32.739-07:002009-06-14T11:24:32.739-07:00Wow 50 years!

Thanks for the reminder Matterhorn1959 and for the super pics - especially the mermaids!<br /><br />You know it was a great idea to get the subs in the show building by having them enter and exit through waterfalls. So visually stunning and also since the subs were wet (as one of your shots show) when they exited, it looked like they may have actually submerged. Neat idea.210Frwynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-59562374665067146402009-06-14T09:25:07.460-07:002009-06-14T09:25:07.460-07:00Great post...great photos.Great post...great photos.jedblauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586084112152949178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-42237585899377786232009-06-14T09:14:03.334-07:002009-06-14T09:14:03.334-07:00Fantastic post.

In honor of this golden anniversary, I'm going to shower, hop in the car and make the drive down to Anaheim and ride all surviving attractions today.<br /><br />And here I thought I was going to lay around and do nothing.
