Honestly Adventures in Science sounded pretty cool. Not Space Mountain cool but still cool.
Ad Ventures in science?
Hey, Dallin, thanks for restooring the original Walt voice clip and OD open from the early years! Open you also do the spooky oe,too, for the Haunted Mansion ones
Awesome
The old opening!
How is it uploaded 2hr ago but your comment is a day old
@@tedebear818early release for patron.
Yyyyaaaaayyyyyyyy❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@tedebear818TH-cam has been doing some wonky reprogramming in the background. Saw a video with over 100,000 views that had only been uploaded for 10 minutes on a channel with less than 100 subscribers. There was other similar videos that weekend.

I am fortunate to have visited Disneyland in 1972. Tomorrowland was a much more sophisticated, intelligent land where you could be amazed by wonders explored through science. The actual experience of Journey Through Innerspace was good, but the idea of being shrunk down to see atoms was thrilling.
Agree, my first visit was 1973, and Disneyland has changed, not improved. My favorite years are the 1990s, teenager with a fully functioning tomorrow land. GOOD TIMES.
My first trip to Disneyland was in '59. I was 4 years old.
I vividly remember near to the House of Tomorrow... there were big, multi colored, wheel valves that you could open and close to adjust corresponding water fountains. I was totally fascinated by that. I've never seen anyone talk about those.
I remember the Flying Saucer ride. They rode on a cushion of air. And even though I was 4... I realized it was a bogus ride. LoL!
Thieves Market is redundant when you already have a square dedicated to Edison.
Yay, a map from the year I was born!!! Adventure through inner space was a free ride, no ticket required so my very frugal dad had us ride it a couple of times a visit. LOL
E-ticket for the baller.
This video was a Historical Work of Disney Art.... Really.
Perfect information vs humor ratio. I still remember "as a real small kid" walking through 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and walking around the Bathroom of the Future "boring." And we still go to Disneyland to this day.... Thanks for your time, hard work and posting.
I always loved seeing the old Skyway chalet on the hill above Fantasyland. It had the cute Bavarian style that I love and seeing it tucked away in the trees felt so mysterious.
I rode 20k leagues in '76 in Magic Kingdom as a little kid (5 years old) and was completely convinced we were in a real submarine really under water, though I remember thinking the fish, giant squid and all that were plastic robots. Hell of a ride.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a walk through experience gleaned from the movie that came out in '54 starring Kirk Douglas and James Mason.
I did that walk through in '59 not really understanding what was going on. My parents didn't let me see the movie because it would've been to terrifying for me. What is really terrifying... is the special effects from the 50's. Lol!
The OG Intro is back!!!
The Plaza Inn is on the other side of the street, next to Tomorrowland. The restaurant next to Adventureland was called Plaza Pavilion
Funny thing, we have a Vintage Disneyland TV Dinner Tray, It looks to be around 1955 or 1956 as there is no copyright date on it. On the front it just says "Copyright Walt Disney Productions." And on the back it says "California Metalware Corporation, El Segundo California." But it is way before the subs and Matterhorn.
I loved your Tron joke!!! Your short little comments are great!
I’ve recently found this channel and I can’t get enough. Keep it up
thanks!
Ah, Adventures Thru Inner Space was way cool. We went on it in the 60's many, many times. The Omnimover concept was way fun, and the ending, when the snowflake melted (uh, no raindrop, it was a snowflake), was cool. The eye ball was creepy. Good stuff. Do you have the other two maps from 1958? That predates my visits by three years.
Liberty street/International street actually saw the light of day, the plans were given to Kunizuo Matsuo and it was built for the planned Nara Disneyland before being changed for Nara Dreamland, sadly this area of the park was demolished in part (the harbour) in early 80s and the rest in the late 90s for the construction of the aska coaster, the buildings were almost the same as in the concept wich is impressive to see what anaheim park could have looked like !
Is it just me or I have not seen this opening in so LONG!!
Thank you for this video. I have an original 58 c poster in my office and spend lots of time studying it. Love the editing too. LOL.
I am both a former Disney employee and not necessarily a huge fan of 2024 Disney, but the park was pure magic to an 8 year old in the late 1970’s. Absolutely pure magic. As a kid it was the only thing that could top Christmas. A trip to Disneyland was something to get flipped out excited over.
18:27 I remember riding Adventures Through Inner Space, that was one of my favorite rides when I was a kid.
Can I get "No imagination here, just cold, hard reality!" On a t-shirt?
Old Crow here. My mom managed to hide Disneyland from me until 1968. I kid you not. We lived over by Cal State Fullerton. How she kept me busy during the firework show we would have clearly been able to see..? Could it have been Hogan's Hero's? Bonanza? Dirty pool, says I. Where I got my sneaky nature from becomes apparent, too. Tomorrowland (in '68. Eighth birthday; was that cool or what??) was freaking too cool for school! Mind you, 2001: A Space Odyssey came out that year, too. I hadn't a clue what all the excitement was about the actual plot, but there was no doubt in my mind that was, and Disneyland's Tomorrowland was, our future! What sold me completely? The telephones you could use to call people and excitedly tell them that you are talking to them in a glass box with people staring at you--but the best thing?? I'm talking without hands!! And everyone told people they called using this futuristic phone, so excited that they didn't have hands, either. Funny stories about Disneyland having to scramble to fix up the Hawaiian Punch sponsored drink pavilion outside the Tiki Room. I believe they closed the Tuna Boat in Rivers of America when it was discovered it was sinking. Yes, there was that scary blue water, but it sinking wouldn't like, um, drown anyone unless they were already nose-deep in clam chowder.
My specialty is trash talkin' Knott's Berry Farm in the '80s. We were not supposed to call the glorified sponges we had as the final emergency brakes on the Parachute Drop, "Splat Pads" and if anyone was caught saying it in earshot of a guest, would be written up. Woof! Like that would slow us up...
This is neat, Dallin!
On the subject of the Matterhorn, you might get a good video out of the movie/book it's based on. I've never seen the movie, but I've taught the book for years, and its ... interesting. I'm kind of surprised that the ride left out the ghost.
Yes. There's a ghost haunting the mountain in the book. It's very Haunted Mansion.
Enjoy. :)
Great stuff. I can't stop thinking about how cool a Disneyland VR Time Machine could be. Where you could pick a year and see the park as it was at the time. I think Disney could make a fortune off of something like that.
Honestly most of these lands would have been pretty cool, sad it could not happen but at least we have the concepts to look back at the past.
I visited the park in 1967 (9 years old). A recent transplant from Pensacola Florida, this was something extra special. I saw most of these old attractions. Today, it is so over crowded and much too expensive. This is a great video with clear, concise information.
Wait, did he confuse the Plaza Pavilion with the Red Wagon Inn (sponsored by Swift)? They are two different locations.. The Pavilion is now Jolly Holiday, whereas the Red Wagon is now the Plaza (with the great fried chicken) and is on the right hand side of the Hub. It's confusing yeah, but worth noting the differences.
I know you don't cover Disneyland Paris much but you should see the 1992 EuroDisneyland Souvenir map which has the cancelled Jungle Explorers, Beauty and the Beast attraction, Little Mermaid attraction, and the original scale of Discovery Mountain
The Hawaiian Music area became a really amazing, reservation only, full service, Polynesian restaurant with a Hula and fire dancing show. There was a small stream dividing the stage from the audience and the dancers would enter and exit the stage through a waterfall curtain. I'm not sure when it finally closed, but I am fairly certain that it was open for about 10 t0 15 years.
It's not every day I hear one of my favorite overlooked Disney movies get mentioned
i’ve never made rope drop on one of these videos before, very cool
Such a cool video - I could have watched an hour of it!
The intro is back
That weird mountain you mentioned with no label just seems like it was there to hold up the skyliner, or whatever it was called. Just a support beam with some decorations, lol.
Literally needed a video just like this. I’m going on Tuesday
Love the look at the forgotten history. I remember going there as a kid, but even many of those things don't ring a bell....lol
Yes! Thank you for bringing back the old opening!
Such a wonderful presentation! I brings back memories of my first trip in 1965. Somewhere in my clutter, I have a map and some unused "A" and "B" tickets; but of course, no "E". The Haunted Mansion facade was there, but it wasn't open yet. I was pissed! I got to see Walt from about 20 feet, surrounded by children (I was 9). He was handing-out cards with his signature on them. I regret not fighting for one. Thanks for this video. It gave me lots of "fuzzies".
This was absolutely amazing. Great job. Love the history lesson
im going to disney world soon! I found your channel in 2019, just as a hyperfixation on disney, and now I get to actually watch your videos and experience them!!
I really enjoy your videos. They always make me smile.
My dad was a huge fan of Disneyland. I love these old concepts and I figured my dad would of loved Adventures in Science land. My dad was 11 years old when Disneyland opened. I wish I could ask him about the changes it went through over the years. 😊
Very nice shot of the new tower. Well done.
My grandparents went to Disneyland a few months after it opened as part of a month long radio show raflle win that took them through Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. Still have some of the original postcards that they never mailed and kept in a two albums, plus a bunch of maps and other souvenirs. They always talked about it. I still have a 1972 map. I miss a lot of of the old rides not going to lie... like the skyway. It would go through the Matahorn ride and was pretty cool. The back of castle area was changed with the removal of the big Captain Hook's ship, and re-arrangement of the carousel and tea cups. Also miss the Bear Country Jamboree area. I guess progress is progress.
We've got a huge (and difficult) puzzle of that old map. I had always wondered where the heck it was from.
I was at WDW in 1973 and they had an Adventure in Inner Space ride. That may not have been its name, but it was one of the only free rides that didn't require a ticket. I went on it many times, and one of the effects was riding an airboat in the Everglades, the wind and movie on the wall was like you were there.
Never let go of your People Mover love and dreams of its return Dallin!!
As a kid Adventures Through Inner Space was my favorite ride. Still miss it. I also remember the grape juice bar. Was wonderful on those hot, SoCal afternoons.
I love this old intro. I hope to see more of it again in the future!
One of my favorite stops in Disneyland is the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel, I try to check out all the cool lobby stuff when I visit!
great topic and video
Yayy old intro!! So happy
I have a photo of me on the flying saucers! It was great! Like being on an air hockey puck.
Now I know the name of the ride. Thanks!
We need a Yesterland map with ALL the attractions, including the cancelled and closed ones!
That map is so neat
14:27 thank you for the Tron “ ahem!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yay, you brought the old intro back!!!
As a life long Disneyland visitor I miss the people movers most! Rip 🪦
I went on that old Voyage Through Inner Space in the early '80s. Snore festival. You got shown a series of scratchy B&W photos looking thru a microscope. Each -picture at greater magnification until ... it stopped. There was a condescending late 50s style narration. Oy! What a low quality cheapie ride to provide something to fill the space on the ground! Just an old science class slide show!
first time I went to Disneyland they still had the Flying Saucers of Tomorrowland. I still remember how disappointed I was that I was too young to go on it. Looking back it was a giant air hockey table. still would have loved to have experienced it one time.
I love looking at the old maps of my local fantasy theme park (the Efteling) which has just as much history if not more than the original disneyland
The Welch’s Grape Juice place also had grape juice popsicles. It was one of my favorite places as a kid.
That's awesome!!
Get a T-shirt in your merch that says" we wants the people mover!
Really do miss adventures thru outerspace
Every single day of my life I say they should bring Adventures Through Inner Space with an Ant Man theme
great video wish it was longer very interesting 10/10
17:49 - In 1965 at the New York World's Fair I saw the Dinosaur exhibit.. which of course was sponsored by Sinclair. :)
Loved that Tron callout
I haven't watched all your videos yet, I've been going to Disneyland since you had to use tickets like the E-ticket. Anyway you know those bus that follow you inside of the haunted Mansion when I used to go there was three of them that watched you and now there's only two I don't know what year it was but it went from three of them to only two busy watching you.
You need to make a video about Disneyland in the past before DCA when the monorail used to run on the outside of the parking lot and made a stop at the Disneyland Hotel.
A 1-day ticket in 1987 was $20 and talk about all the rides that we had and how cheap it was and now it is so expensive and most of the rides from Tomorrowland are gone like my favorite the people mover trip to the moon and the carousel of progress in your off hand style.
Thank you very much for your videos Ray Harris Modesto
California.
I’m hoping to run into offhand this weekend on my trip to DL
ah yes, my Saturday morning cartoons
1958 California had a lot of laid off war industry workers who spent WWII working 10 to 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Walt was quite able to build whatever he wanted quickly. My Uncle Leo was an electrician certified by the IBEW and worked there during construction and after doing maintenance.
The ‘I have two nickels’ is my fav meme
1:20 wow you got the actual Icabod Crane to host your video!!
"that's very, very fast." I heard Walt built the Matterhorn fast because Roy told him they couldn't afford it. Walt had to sneak it while Roy was on vacation. Don't know how true that is.
I like how Edison Square is shaped like a light bulb
The old intro brings back memories
The Tron shade!!! For real though!
Interesting, “International Street” is the name of the entrance area for 3/4 parks created by Kings Entertainment (barring Carowinds with “Celebration Plaza”)
At my home park, Canada’s Wonderland specifically, they made it a lot more thematic and scenic with the inclusion of Wonder Mountain at the end of the street
The 4 buildings are themed to Alpine, Scandinavian, Latin American, and Mediterranean cultures, and the park has recently been working on restoring the world’s fair themed area of the park “The Grande World Exposition of 1890”
we have an opening year map of disney world (approx. feb/march of 1972) and a bunch of things are misnamed or never existed. my fav is columbia harbor house being named as “plymouth harbor house”. couldn’t find any other info on the name change besides other maps from this era!
I MISSED SEEING THAT INTRO OMG
I miss the old Fantasyland chalet skyway. I wish I could have kept a piece of it, such as the clock face.
Offhand is awesome❤ may 2024 treat you well
omg the old opening i can't remember the last time i saw it
Remember, Knotts Berry Farm also began developing from a farm to a theme park at the same time as Disneyland
Disney produced entertainment for the 1960 Winter Olympics. He was involved in preparing for that all the way back to at least 1958 and it is very likely a Matterhorn type feature at Disneyland was on his mind when those maps were made.
Strange that International Street was a considered name. Kings Island’s main street is called International Street
Not the only one, Canadas wonderland also has International street, and it’s much more Disney-esque with Wonder mountain at the end
We first went to Disneyland in 1959. I had waited half my life to go
Can you do a deep dive on the arcade in Tomorrowland? I was always curious on how it started and the downfall.
5:33 - Thomas Edison and Disney Productions both worked with General Electric. . . Mr.Tesla worked with Westinghouse, GE's rival.
My high school friends liked to get high on Marijuana before going on Monsanto's people shrinker. I was inspired by the ride to buy Monsanto stock, and was so "spaced out " without drugs, I didn't need any for a ride on the people shrinker
Dallen you're a fabulous TH-camr back in 2019 that was the year I was planning on Mickey Mouse content and I was looking for other Mickey TH-cam Films that I could Relate to since Mickey was a part of My childhood growing up I thought why I not make him a part of My Work on TH-cam and I did My First Mickey Mouse Movie known as Mickey Mouse and the Enchanted Tikis the Film wasn't Filmed until Late June 2020 Based on Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, back in 2019 when I found your TH-cam Channel the first Offhand Disney Film I watched was Hidden Mickeys and that was Awesome and I got to know you more through Fastpass Facts on Haunted Mansion Origins 1 and 2 and your Offhand Disney Films learning more about Walt Disney Learning about the Original park that should never change, more about Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion learning what I never knew about the Attractions nobody is teaching about the Original Disney in fact Disney want us to learn about Walt they are doing everything in their power to make us forget Original Disney and Walt Disney and his Legacy and Dream only you can keep that Alive, I think you be a Awesome Disney CEO. It's great to hear Walt Disney's voice at the beginning of your video again in a long time I think you should keep his voice welcome on your videos I look forward in your Christmas film next week God's Blessings
I know we all like to bag on rocket rods but I have the most unpopular opinion about it and probably am one of the only fans of the ride. lol my dad and I went almost every weekend at that point and since he had disabled pass we got to cut the line (and back in those days it wasn’t like it was today where you get a pass and wait. No you just go on it like a fast pass) so we went on it a lot! Cutting the two hour wait times that it usually was. 😅 I’m very fortunate to have enjoyed this ride when it was around, but don’t get me wrong I do miss the people mover…. Just….. rocket rods was really fun going around Tomorrowland too.
great
Correction: Hawaiian Music was behind the Plaza Pavillion. The Red Wagon/Plaza Inn was across the street.
!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray
Tesla Square!!! Nikola kicks Edison’s 🫏
I like the old opening
Opening Day (to the general public) 1955: Hot as hell, asphalt melting under your feet, long lines, but a smile on everyone's face!
0:07 I found the entrance!!!!
9:38 "thieves museum and wax market"
