Expo '55 - Flying Saucers

Inspired by the happiest place on earth, this whimsical series explores the unsung heroes of the park; the ride vehicles.

One of the wackiest and most bizarre rides to hit the Disneyland scene, the Flying Saucers had a short run in Tomorrowland, yet the attractions famous vehicles still live on in today through merchandise and promos. It was a great concept allowing visitors to experience the "future of flight," yet it was a maintenance nightmare and had a minimum hourly guest capacity. Disney even tried rebooting the ride in 2012, but even modern advances in technology couldn't save this minimal ride.
