“The park means a lot to me in that it’s something that will never be finished.” Said Walt Disney in 1956. “Something that I can keep developing, keep plussing and adding to—it’s alive. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need changes.” True to his words, after Disneyland’s opening, the Chicago-born creator constantly updated the park and added new rides and attractions including New Orleans Square, the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, the Flying Saucers, the Haunted Mansion and the Snow White and the Seven Dwarves statues, and by the 1960s park goers could tour the Sleeping Beauty Castle itself.
Take a look through these nostalgic photographs of Disneyland from the 1960s and see bygone rides and attractions:
