AUGUST 5
We are starting something new here which will officially begin on Monday, August 8, 2022, but here is a sneak peek!
(Here are some interesting facts about the use of the same space at Disneyland!)
1955:
The 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Exhibit opens in Tomorrowland at Disneyland.
The walk-through exhibit features props and set pieces from the 1954 blockbuster release 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Guests can view the exterior of the Nautilus, Professor Aronnax's cabin, the pump room, the chart room, the diving chamber, the wheelhouse, and the famous organ (which will later reside in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ballroom). The exhibit will remain open until August 28, 1966 (and ultimately be replaced with Star Tours).
AND
1967:
Disneyland's attraction Adventure Thru Inner Space opens on this day in Tomorrowland (in the space once used for the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Exhibit). Guests are transported through a microscope where they are shrunken down and sent off to explore the inside of an atom. Featuring the voice of Paul Frees & the song "Miracles from Molecules" written by the Sherman Brothers, it is the first to use the OmniMover system - called "Atomo-biles" - to transport guests.
All information from the This Day In Disney History website and miscellaneous photos were obtained from several different sites on the internet.
