Construction History of Disneyland

[TaylorHound]

@TrollSlayer777 no they re made the submarines in 2006 but the original attraction was built in 1959

[Draknfyre]

@TrollSlayer777

Uh, the submarine lagoon was filled in several years ago. It was finished back before the park opened.

[clockworkfiction3]

@Draknfyre

The submarine lagoon was finished in '59, then closed in '98, and re-opened as Finding Nemo submarines in '07. It was not filled in at Disneyland, but at Disneyworld it was replaced with a Winnie the Pooh play area.

@clockworkfiction3

Filed in in this case = attraction closed, completely torn down, replaced.

I meant replaced by the Winnie the Pooh play area, I thought they had filled it in and built it ontop.

@Draknfyre

Nah, that was at Walt Disney World only. At Disneyland the lagoon stayed empty for 9 years until it was reopened with a Finding Nemo theme.

This video is great! I love the vintage clip! Disney is a magic place. The construction of such a place is just as magic.

[tommyvienna]

Looks like some of the orange trees were left. Anyone know if some of the original pre-Disney (orange?) trees are still standing?

[tymbershade]

I just cann't imagine a world without Disneyland.

[santanatakesmiami]

Imagine driving down the road and seeing Walt Disney at 2:26.

[Deathsquad49]

I've always loved Julie Reihm, though she was well before my time.

[moto1666]

the saying at 2:30 is soo true

[suicidebag666]

"the houses moved"....you mean "the houses demolished"?

[tzkelley]

Actually, they really did move at least of few of them and used them for offices. Much later they were demolished, I believe.

[whodolf]

200 acres??? that nothing..

[NitekMuscle]

The lack of acreage makes the Park seem more intimate and elaborate.

[charlyiio]
