(Disneyland, 1961) An extremely rare, original hand-silkscreened poster for the "Flying Saucer" attraction. Built in 1961, this was the last attraction to open in the original Tomorrowland. Guests floated on cushions of air and controlled their "bumper cars" by leaning in the direction the wanted to go. The attraction was immensely popular, but suffered from continual mechanical problems and could only facilitate a low number of guests per day. The attraction closed in 1966 and was replaced by the Tomorrowland Stage during the "New Tomorrowland" renovations. Designed by Rolly Crump, this poster remains one of the most sought-after due to its scarcity and eye-catching imagery. Measures 54"x36". This item is in very good condition with some minor creasing throughout and spots of faint color-wear around the edges.
