the first tickets in 1955... then The first “E” ticket coupons were made available June 12,1959, providing admission to these all-new attractions, along with other Disneyland favorites that were upgraded to the prestigious level. “E” tickets soon entered the American lexicon as a term signifying the ultimate in thrills. Astronaut Sally Ride even described her first trip to space as “a real ‘E’ ticket ride!” Hello, My brother and I could not wait for Disneyland to open in 1955. We read all about the different rides being built for the newest amusement park. Plus, it was road trip down Willow Street near our Westside of Long Beach house. As Willow Street goes East, it changes into Katella Avenue. So, it was get on “Willow Street and go East, young man!” We did that exact thing many times when we started to drive. The Long Beach Pike had its days and it was now becoming old hat. So, when the latest park was going to open up, we were all ready for a new adventure. But, in 1955, opening day was a nightmare and our dad predicted it, so he told us we would wait a couple of weeks, then go to the newest park in So Cal. Motoring through history: “Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park’s opening day in 1955. When the cars first took to the road, they captured America’s fascination with the latest transportation innovation, the “freeway.” The Disneyland Autopia, in one form or another, is one of the few current attractions that opened with the park in July 1955. When it opened, it represented the future of what would become America’s multilane limited access highways, which were still being developed.” “Bumpers were fitted around the vehicle, but there were still problems with collisions, as a guide rail had yet to be implemented on the ride. Eventually the vehicles were fitted with spring-loaded bumpers to discourage collisions.” The first fleet of Autopia cars were dubbed "Mark I". Throughout Disneyland's first few years, Autopia went through a few fleets, as the cars took much abuse. Jnaki They took much abuse, but, not from this 11 year old driver! I was so careful going around the track. Yes, the pedal was floored and I steered around the sweeping curves and tried going fast on the straights. It was like our own homemade go karts with little lawnmower motors, enclosed in a fancy fiberglass body. But, after many years and rides with our “E” ticket booklets, we moved on to other things after a ride or two on the Autopia. YRMV Thanks to our dad for the photos on the Autopia during 1955-56 Summer days in So Cal.
