(Disneyland, 1959) Many Disney historians consider 1959 to be the “second grand-opening” of Disneyland. Ever progressive, and always striving to improve the park as well as stay ahead of competitors, Walt drove his team to complete the biggest expansion in the park’s history. Calling it “a brand new Disneyland”, five new attractions were opened in 1959 including The Matterhorn, The Monorail, and the Submarine Voyage. In just four short years, Disneyland had gone from 22 attractions on opening day to 48 in 1959. This float design represented Adventureland in the Disneyland 1959 re-opening parade. Accomplished in pencil and charcoal on 19 x 24 in. vellum by Disneyland art director, Bruce Bushman. Very good condition overall.
