Magic Kingdom in these times takes more than a magic wand it took earth movers scooping out lakes canals and broad river beds paid off with enough dirt for rolling hills Knowles and Islands rare tropical plants for the jungles of Adventureland were sought out and brought from many parts of the world there was a deadline to meet and no time for nature to carve out rock formations so sculptors

first opened in 1955 there have been more than 15 million visitors and all you have to do is look around you to see that practically all of them are taking pictures of their many adventures here and they enjoy their visit a great deal more because they do you know most everyone uses this Disneyland camera store as headquarters for Kodak film and cameras and today when they come in they discover that taking pictures is easier and more fun than it ever was thanks to Kodak's brand new automatic cameras that have just been introduced you can see them now it's your own Kodak dealers these great new cameras that give you the right exposure time after time automatically that's right automatically you can go all over Disneyland or all over the world and be sure of getting beautifully exposed pictures time after time now believe it or not this picture was taken in the shade and this one in the Sun and they're both just great I wasn't that a wonderful thing to know that every picture you take can come out just right and you never have to make a single setting so this summer saved your fun the modern way with a new automatic camera by Kodak there's one for every kind of picture taking for snapshots there's the new brownie star Matic camera and four beautiful color movies the new brownie automatic movie camera so remember wherever you are whatever you do funds more fun with a camera by Kodak now don't go away because in just a few seconds we'll be back with some of the most exciting adventures you've ever seen an undersea ride in the newest submarine at a look at the transportation of the future the monorail and a trip to the Matterhorn mountain all right here on that presents Disneyland 59 Ozzy's surprise party for Harriet Nelson mushrooms into a surprise for him watch the front Wednesday night over the ABC television network now it's time for some brand new adventures in Disneyland and the first of these will be the launching of Walt Disney's new submarine fleet which incidentally is the eighth largest sub fleet in the world but there's a story behind that as there is with most of the things that Walt does so let's see how it started in 1868 Jules Verne conceived an undersea craft powered by a substance beyond the wildest dreams of science an atomic submarine called the novel's the thought that men might explore the underwater world came to him long before this fact was to be accomplished in light of recent achievements we realized the prophetic vision of this most imaginative of all writers for what was then looked upon as fantastic fiction it is now true fact the world's first atomic submarine the namesake of Jules Verne's novelists was launched by the United States Navy a century after he wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea his most noteworthy achievement in the interest of science took place when the USS Nautilus cruise 2,000 miles under a canopy of ice to the North Pole with the development of the atomic submarine the vast unexplored ocean depths present a new exciting frontier now it's time for the dedication of the Disneyland submarine fleet and here's Walt Disney I'd like to introduce our honored guests Admiral Charles C Corps Patrick of the United States Navy thank you all I'm delighted to be here for this happy occasion well Admiral as this seems to be a nautical affair I think it'd be appropriate if you take over sir I'd be most happy to do so long as a matter of fact the Navy has been interested in some time in the proceedings that go here today and we have a considerable rooting interest in Disneyland's peacetime submarine fleet since the launching of the first nuclear-powered submarine the Nautilus the Navy also has been interested in a new concept we call it the exploration of blimp of liquid space then - we believe that the under seas of the world have great potential for peace and for the benefit of all mankind but even more important than these particular resources under the seas could be the exploration which perhaps can be accomplished by submarines but even more important in the submarines themselves are the men over a century ago Jules Verne wrote out of the minds of men can come things that other men can do I'd like to produce for you today one of these men a man who does what other men can't imagine chief machinists mate stuart nelson of the nuclear-powered submarine USS Nautilus officially commended for outstanding leadership technical competence and devotion to duty in the first transpolar cruise in history under the sea by submarine chief Nelson thank you very much I'd like you two to introduce my family yes sir good to know some family are you well this is a real Navy family I don't believe that you could put the christening of a ship in better hands are in better company right you are Admiral and mrs. Nelson will you honor us by christening the first submarine submarine I'll lead the way [Applause] [Music] well the subs been loaded is now going out for its maiden voyage the official dedication and now let's see what our Hallam or underwater camera is picking up below the surface [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] wasn't that something and how about that submarine ride I tell you there'll be lots of youngsters whose dreams come true on that one and you know that's the way it is all summer long we parents can actually see our youngsters vacation dreams come true it's just one thing to remember and it's true wherever you take your children if you want to make the most of your good times together don't forget your camera because when you see your youngsters dreams come true never forgive yourself if you don't take lots of pictures childhood is so short I often think our children don't really belong to us we just sort of borrow them for a while golly it seems like only yesterday my own kids were about the size of these two but you can make the childhood last for years to come if you take plenty of pictures and you know it's so easy to do just get yourself a brownie star camera you'll see what I mean why this star Matic model actually adjusts its own lens automatically you can shoot a picture in deep shade and then turn right around and take another in bright sunlight and get just the right exposure time after time automatically that's wonderful isn't it now I'd suggest you see all the brownie star cameras that your kodak dealers this week they cost as little as five ninety-five and any one of them would make a wonderful gift now remember brownie star cameras another good reason to insist on the name Kodak and now for the ride that I nominate is the most unusual and completely fascinating that I've ever enjoyed let's set a course for deeper water and continue our Disneyland submarine adventure very well among these coral reefs you may see some of the strange inhabitants of this undersea world hiding among the seaweed and weird rock formations other creatures are looking in the depths of mysterious caves favorite hiding places for octopus lobster and moray eels with the use of our exterior sonar hydrophones we can actually hear the fish talk [Music] [Music] salvage operations ahead sir divers to port and starboard very well take her down to three five zero feet use ten degree down angle flood negative the graveyard of lost ships [Music] think of all the treasure that must lie in those ancient halls Sam lights up crossing bow sir proceed with caution steer clear of mothership sir sonar shows polar icecap dead ahead very well continue on course to Paul [Music] scraping iceberg sir bigger deep daddy [Music] Oh a giant squid giant squid have often been mistaken for sea serpent such reports have persisted for centuries but of course they have no basis in fact tall tales of ocean monsters should be classed this fiction along with the myth of mermaids of your flight of fancy belonging to the realm of make-believe here a view into the distant past fabulous lost continent of Atlantis the treasures and grandeur of this ancient civilization are believed to have been submerged centuries ago by the eruption of a gigantic volcano all ahead full Gausman steer clear of those columns hi sir [Music] [Music] I'll see serpent captain the crew man your battle stations stand by for action further service an aquatic service sir [Music] [Music] after the deck make all preparations for end record how about that well not everything I promised you well now from the undersea lost continent of Atlantis to the freeways of Southern California is a long jump but we can do it with Disney magic as waltz provides a rare glimpse into the shape of things to come now you're about to see the debut of a revolutionary new form of transportation the monorail the first let's find out what's causing this revolution we are the most mobile nation in the world over a highway system which is the most modern in existence but cars can be built faster than the highways to take care of you wheels are rolling in all directions and they're all headed for the biggest traffic jam since the wheel was invented [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] where does the Harris commuter go from here let's take a look ahead and see what the commuter can hope for in the future traffic engineers agree that a monorail system could well be an answer to growing traffic congestion in large cities where land is at a premium an aerial monorail system needs only a narrow beam ways supported by pylons the accent is on economy with the advent of such highways in the sky the weary commuter will find himself traveling in speed comfort and safety tomorrow's living areas will expand as the beam ways of modern monorail systems begin to criss cross metropolitan centers [Music] but when is tomorrow in Disneyland a monorail system is being put into operation and the future in transportation can be enjoyed today awake monorail coach for its first official run pulling up to the loading platform where the dedication ceremonies will take place and the ribbon [Music] special guests and cheering is the monorail pulls in and now there is Vice President Nixon waiting this is your spot Walt take it away to open the first operating monorail system in America it is our good fortune to have our friend and fellow Californian the Vice President of the United States mr. Richard Nixon and his charming family mrs. Pat Nixon Julia and Patricia his daughters mr. Nixon our vice president well thank you very much Walt I want to say that this has really been one of the most exciting and interesting days that I've ever had in my life and I'm sure that's true of all the others who were here at Disneyland to participate in these various ceremonies opening these wonderful new exhibits which we have here I think you'll be interested to know and I know that our television and radio listeners will be interested to know that when my wife and I were planning his trip and talking it over with our two daughters we asked them what they wanted to do most when they came to California they said we want to see our grandmother and go to Disneyland now I can tell you however that that is not only the case with regard to young people all over the country but it's true of the dignitaries who come to Washington from other lands I remember president Sukarno also wanted to come to Disneyland and has been ears you know the king of Belgium the king of morocco from all over the world people whether they're adults or children want to come to Disneyland to see America the past the present and the future and so consequently I just want to take this opportunity to say what a fine job we think Disneyland has been doing in letting all of us for a brief few hours have an interlude in our rather busy lives and to participate in a feeling about the traditions they dreams the hopes of this great country of ours now of course comes the time for the dedication and although you and I the adults up here are probably just as interested in writing and this is the children since this first monorail system is a system for the future and since of course Disneyland is a place which children love above everybody else I think it would be nice if our two daughters Patricia and Julie would cut this ribbon and if they would like to do that we'll step back and let them do the job now you know how to cut a ribbon don't you [Applause] [Music] the train is moving now into place for loading for the first official ride and there comes Bob Cummings and Mary Cummings and their family of three or four maybe all five of them are out here today I see back there with a straw skimmer Fred MacMurray Joong haver and their families mrs. Linkletter and my brood of little links are all climbing in for their first ride there's my big son Robert my little girl Diane and a great many other [Music] roles on inflated rubber tires [Music] it's over the actual lagoon where the submarines are going preparing to a beautiful overhead shot [Music] is the first monorail in America [Music] cruising over the [Music] over some more of the Autopia is filled with youngsters riding their miniature cars [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's the monorail a long step forward into the future today you're seeing America's first scheduled monorail system and operation soon others will follow heralding the day when such rapid transit systems will relieve America's crowded streets and perhaps even bring back the original meaning of the word freeway and now here in slip one the Eastman Codell special the Triton featuring Codell new champion of stay fresh fibers in a preview of golf jackets that stay looking smoother slacks that keep their crease longer rain wear that keeps its good looks suits that fight wrinkles better shirts that wash and wear easier and easy to care for women's fashions and now miss Julia made hi you know Codell is different from other fibers because Codell is the liveliest polyester fiber it's so lively it fights off wrinkles better and keeps clothes looking fresher and crisper for instance let's compare a suit made with ordinary fibers to one made with Codell fibers here's the ordinary suit being crushed this microscopic view shows that ordinary fibers don't fight back and the wrinkles stay in but Codell acts like thousands of tiny muscles to smooth and flatten the fabric the wrinkles don't have a chance that's why clothes made with Codell the pressure and stay fresher longer arriving soon in stores all over America from alligator arrow Esquire sportswear Manhattan McGregor Michael Stern timely clothes varsity town Palm Beach Weldon clothes made with Codell [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] whenever Walt Disney goes anywhere in the world he likes to bring back something for the park and so when Walt was on location last year in Switzerland and saw the Matterhorn he thought say that would make a nice souvenir for Disneyland well there it is not the real mountain of course because even Walt couldn't bring the Matterhorn back but he built one exactly to scale 1/100 the original size 14 stories high just like the real one and up there on the mountain now are members of the Sierra Club actually making the first ascent so we've invited a member Harvey would you come over here please Harvey here has Harvey but your last name Hickman Harvey Hickman has been one of the top climbers in California and along with his fellow Sierra Club members is going to tell us on this broadcast what's going on now this mountain is the exact replica of the Matterhorn and right about now they'd be at what height if they were in the real Matterhorn they would be a little over 14,000 feet probably with about 500 feet to go here here they're 14 stories high which is plenty scary and now who's that going up the overhang I believe that is George har one of the veteran climbers in the Sierra Club and a man who climbed the Matterhorn about five years ago from the Swiss side looks like real snow and by the way those trees are real up and down the slopes of this small Matterhorn they were growing up in the Rocky Mountains and brought down here and transplanted what's he doing right now again that is sixth class climbing he's stepping in slings to make this exceedingly difficult overhang this is probably the hardest type of climbing there is and it really takes experts to make it those slings he steps in our strong nylons slings you say sixth class what does that mean that means he has to use direct aid to make the pitch 5th class is where they just used Pitons and carabiners for safety oh hang on but he made it splendid climber for a minute I didn't got a good belay on him even if he had fall in the rope with a caught him and now there they are up at the top and they're raising the Swiss flag and the United States flag and in a moment they'll come down and what spectacular fashion they're going to repel down rappelling is a rather expert way of sliding down the rope using the friction over your shoulders and your back to control the speed of the descent and using a hand also one hand to guide your guide you down the mountain you'll see the rope [Music] sliding down the mountain with great leaps and jumps with almost like a freefall almost but completely controlled and completely safe when it's in the hands of experts and that's what these people are now we're about to see the most thrilling and exciting spectacle of all mountain climber is coming down just as they do up in the mountains this is Chuck Will's and yet one of the most famous climbers has made a number of first ascents getting ready to rappel down he's putting the rope through a carabiner then we will see the Rope come over his shoulder right now and you'll see him guide his way down just holding on with one hand perfectly safe but it takes skill he is loosening the rope right now so that it won't get caught in any pinnacles are caught in any cracks as he descends all right here he comes and right over the edge you'll go now there we go exhilarating to do that it takes an expert kangaroos in Reverse coming down the matterhorn Mike jerrick coming down the while he's closer to the fergan Ridge yes the Rope runs through that he's perhaps certainly one of the truthfully most famous young climbers in the Sierra Club well the crowd here is getting a great thrill out of watching this [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] debar translated roughly in English that means crazy man crazy and why not Disneyland is full of music and adventure and plain and fancy fun just the kind of a place that would appeal to a kid like Ed Sullivan Disneyland is really a whirl all its own a wonderful place to have fun and a wonderful place to take pictures but still has the place for you plan to spend your vacation this summer wherever it may be plan to save all the enjoyment relive your entire summer and big clear colorful movies and it's easier than ever with this new brownie automatic movie camera it gives you correctly exposed
