Disneyland 1965. This is my husbands father as a child. Looks like some kind of hovering ride.

The Flying Saucers! My favorite attraction as a kid~ - msdizmaui  519.0 #223 12:54AM
I think cars land is supposed to have something similar to this. - kbeenss  181.5 #1846 12:54AM
They're coming back as Luigi's Flying Tires in CarsLand! - craziemutant  109.6 #2912 12:54AM

Flying saucers! - jazzydarling  37.6 #4079 12:55AM
I can't wait to see it! We got these old slides from his grandfather and I had never heard of this ride. It looks like it was a lot of fun. Does anyone know why there were taken out? - kbeenss  181.5 #1846 12:56AM
Very cool photo! My sister was born in 65 your father in law was this young in 65? Ok I am officially old, lol! - mrssumr  64.1 #3510 12:58AM
LOL! Actually he was really young when my husband was born. I believe his father was only 17 and my mother in law was only 15. - kbeenss  181.5 #1846 1:00AM
I just luv these old Disney pics - Twinklelashes  144.4 #2377 1:00AM
They operated from '61 - '65 but were too expensive, needed a lot of maintenance and didn't fit the normal Disneyland "guest flow" i.e. only a small number of guests could ride at one time. My favorite part was when the "arm" swept all the saucers in when the ride was done. - msdizmaui  519.0 #223 1:02AM
That's cool! - Briana  225.7 #1295 1:04AM
I'm learning more already! That is awesome! Thanks you guys for the info. - kbeenss  181.5 #1846 1:04AM
Mouse Tales has a short story from this ride. About how a few Cast Members witnessed the strength of the "arm". A bit nerve wrecking. You should give it a read. - craziemutant  109.6 #2912 1:13AM
@SB vintage pics are the best - Thumper23  119.1 #2752 1:14AM
