Vintage Disneyland

Ok, a little preface here. I'm mostly indifferent to this video, but two things are striking. First, a few of the long views show the area surrounding Disneyland in CA from 1977. Note the green. It is now 100% concrete and buildings. Second, Disneyland itself has open spaces between the rides. It has been over a decade since I've been there, but there wasn't anything like that amount of space the last time I was there, if memory serves. A minor point is that the rides look a lot more like generic amusement rides than those I recall from my last visit. Wow.




Thanks to Boing Boing and Cory Doctorow's obsession with Disneyland.
