Walt Disney's Tomorrowland Rocket to the Moon Game, 1956
01
Artifact Overview
Disneyland, America's first theme park, opened in 1955 in Anaheim, California. With the consummate skill of a filmmaker and storyteller, Walt Disney (with his Imagineers) reduced popular American themes to their essence to create each land and attraction. Tomorrowland, including Rocket to the Moon, was designed to be an optimistic interpretation of how science and technology would improve people's lives.
