Yes. I'm still pretty upset about the current closure of the Mad Tea Party. In spite of my dismay I thought I'd share this awesome concept drawing for the original Disneyland version. The teacups were an opening day attraction and, as you can see, changed quite a bit before actually being built.
To be honest, the attraction in the artwork looks totally bad ass! Characters everywhere, and banked curves! A very pretty piece of Disneyland history indeed...
So great! Don't recall seeing this before. I love how Disney concept art captures the "feeling" of the attraction even if, in the end, it develops to be physically different. I tell you I am getting dizzy looking at the drawing :{.
ReplyDeleteBanked curves! It's practically a roller derby rink!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the closure for your visit.
