This 1958 flyer was distributed to Disneyland guests in promotion of the park’s three newest attraction offerings during its fourth summer of operation.

The flyer features the headline, “See and Enjoy…Disneyland’s Newest Attractions,” and includes both artwork and descriptions of the Sailing Ship Columbia, Alice in Wonderland attraction, and Grand Canyon Diorama. The diorama, an addition to the Santa Fe and Disneyland Railroad, officially opened in March of that year, while both Alice in Wonderland and The Columbia debuted in June. Below the attraction descriptions can be found a brief informational section on ticket-book prices, as well as the 1958 Walt Disney Productions copyright.

The first attraction on the list, The Columbia, came about when Walt Disney decided the Rivers of America would present a more appealing scene with the addition of a second vessel (the Mark Twain River Boat already making daily trips around the circuit). Disneyland construction manager (and former navy admiral) Joe Fowler was tasked with the project and selected the historic Columbia Rediviva as the model for the ship. Together, he and architect Ray Wallace designed the plans for the 110-foot-long ship that would be christened on June 4, 1958, and which still sails the Rivers of America to this day.

The Alice in Wonderland attraction, based on the 1955 animated film of the same name, was originally planned as a walk-through to be completed by the park’s opening. Budget constraints, however, pushed back the timeline, and the concept eventually received the dark-ride treatment. Disney Legend Claude Coats was instrumental in developing the memorable sets throughout the attraction.

Coats also designed the Grand Canyon Diorama segment of the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad, which had opened to guests in the Spring of 1958, and featured a memorable natural scene, set in the canyon’s south rim, complete with native flora and fauna.

This unique collectible from what was only the park’s third full year of operations marks the introduction of three new additions to Disneyland, all of which have stood the test of time and continue to entertain guests each and every day in the “Happiest Place on Earth.”
