It’s scheduled to close soon — but not for good.
The Disneyland Hotel, pictured in 1961, opened across the street from Disneyland in 1955, but was built and owned by Walt's friend, Jack Wrather, until purchased from The Wrather Corporation in 1988. The Disneyland Monorail track was expanded in 1961 to transport guests to and from the hotel, making it the only monorail in the country to cross a public street., and likely felt the whoosh of the nearly silent machine as it sped past you at 30 mph.
Today, it’s primarily a vehicle to transport people staying at the Disneyland Hotel, the Grand Californian or Paradise Pier from the far end of Downtown Disney into Disneyland Park. The Disneyland monorail debuted in 1959, four years after the park first opened. It was the first-ever monorail to operate in the country,, and the first in the world to operate daily. At that point, the only other similar train was in Germany, and it was a prototype designed by the company that built the Disneyland version. When it opened, it was such a big deal that then-Vice President Nixon came to its opening and gave a speech.
When it first opened, the Disneyland monorail was purely an attraction for entertainment, and it was substantially different than it is today., opened as an E-ticket ride advertised as the “highway in the sky.” It ran in a 0.8 mile loop that circled Tomorrowland, giving guests a view from above of the attractions in that land; many of which, like Rocket to the Moon and Monsanto’s Hall of Chemistry, are no longer in the park.
