Vintage: Me and my sister on old school flying saucers around 1964. I think it was about where Captain Eo is now. Notice the sweet bomber jacket!

I love the girl sittng on the railing, I guess safety wasn't as strict back then 😜 - MarshaMouse  2871.4 #15 6:07PM
I was thinking the same thing ;) - ShariRenee  1561.0 #50 6:13PM
But she has a cute sweater on so it's ok!! 😉 - caramiapoohAKAface  1458.9 #54 6:18PM
Ahaha! Good catch! ;) Current CM training: "what is wrong with this picture??" - aphboomwha  30.8 #4340 7:00PM
Awesome, CM is right behind her! - ShariRenee  1561.0 #50 9:19PM
Very clear pic for being almost 50 yrs old. - MyPark  944.4 #91 5:32PM
And in color! - Fantasmic! fan1  185.0 #1808 5:35PM
Dad was a photographer, he took a lot of great shots. - CobbPR  1615.2 #46 6:01PM
We do something here called "Throwback Thursday". If you have more of your dad's photos you could share, please post them on Thursday. We'd love to see them! - MyPark  944.4 #91 6:05PM
I thought it was tormorrow? - GrumpyPirateDad  502.4 #237 11:17PM
This is an amazing picture and piece of Disneyland history. Thank you for sharing. - LaPearleNoir  574.0 #192 9:35PM
Pretty much the best picture of this I've seen!! - Linzee  518.0 #225 5:37PM
That's what I thought when I saw it. Every other pic I have seen of this attraction was grainy and not sharp - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 5:44PM
I realized the main reason the pictures he took have stayed sharp is they are all slides (and a few stereo ones, too). I'll get to dad in the next few weeks and scan more of his. I also have a few old things I'll take shots of for a Thursday. Park maps from the mid sixties are pretty neat. - CobbPR  1615.2 #46 6:51PM
I'd love to see those! ^ - JRDrummer_CM  792.8 #119 6:54PM
Now this is the kind of non live picture I like to see! Awesome! - ShariRenee  1561.0 #50 5:40PM
Oh and lovin the bomber jacket! - ShariRenee  1561.0 #50 5:44PM
I was zooming in on all the clothes too! So cool. - RadiatorSprings4Ever  136.9 #2493 5:50PM
Now that's amazing to have and post. - Westcoast  62.3 #3538 5:41PM
Thank you for sharing. - RadiatorSprings4Ever  136.9 #2493 5:43PM
The Flying Saucers is where Space Mountain is now - BaseballMickey_CM  2862.5 #16 5:44PM
Didn't know that! - KylaShea  533.2 #214 6:55PM
I think it needs beach balls - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 5:45PM
Or Space Balls? - Waites4DodgerEars  659.9 #158 5:57PM
Planets? - bluefairy  627.3 #174 6:57PM
It did have balloons and beach balls for the taping of "The Wonderful World of Color". That scene from that show is shown most of the time when talking about the attraction - BaseballMickey_CM  2862.5 #16 7:48PM
I love this pic!!!! You two look like you're having a blast!!! Sweet jacket and I love her sandals!! - caramiapoohAKAface  1458.9 #54 5:51PM
Old school! - VfxGenie  1353.6 #59 5:54PM
What Magical Memories! - Disneymother  214.0 #1434 6:03PM
This is awesome! - MinnieMousewife  570.4 #194 6:18PM
It'd be awesome if you had a collage of these photos! I'm sure they're amazing :) - KylaShea  533.2 #214 6:31PM
I remember this ride, barely! Awesome pic! I only have b/w pics from the good old days. - meridafan  1037.0 #83 7:00PM
Cool! That kind of looks like Luigi's Flying Tires in DCA haha - LennaH  120.4 #2730 7:21PM
Yup was going to say the same thing...even the "lean" is the same. Everything old is now new! - aphboomwha  30.8 #4340 9:53PM
Adorable pic. Look like you have to work like on LFT. 😂😂 - dimplesdanie  607.5 #179 7:35PM
that queue looks so empty. you can kinda see the lines in luigi's headed in this direction. i wonder how long luigi's will last. - toph  2399.2 #26 7:45PM
I completely agree! - GrimGrinningAmanda  318.7 #528 8:15PM
Thank you for sharing, I look forward to seeing your other pictures. - MonLuvsDisney  157.5 #2184 9:09PM
I like the guy in the back with his head in his hands. Great pic thanks for sharing! - celsing  297.8 #621 9:21PM
Flying Saucers!!!! This was my favorite ride when I was a kid!! Thanks for the nice photo & great memory!! - debbiev  59.3 #3588 10:05PM
Awesome! I've never seen anyone (other than ads) riding them!) - TinkerSchelle  646.1 #167 11:13PM
