Mad Tea party
The spinning tea
cups inspired
by Alice in
Wonderland
were a hit
upon their
inauguration
in 1955 and are
an Instagram
favourite today.
Whirl your cup
as quickly as you
want, depending
on how fast you
turn its central
wheel.
it’s a small World
It’s been lauded by UNICEF and
spoofed on The Simpsons, but there’s
no denying the appeal of this 1966 icon.
Cruise merrily through the countries of
the world—then see how long it takes to
get the song out of your head.
Jungle cruise
While the tribal
and animal
animatronics
haven’t changed
since this out-
door boat ride
launched in
1955, today’s
guided tour
pokes fun at
their vintage
stylings and
dubious political
correctness.
pirates of the caribbean
It’s the 1967 ride that inspired
the Hollywood franchise. And
while Jack Sparrow may only
have joined their ranks in 2006,
the original pirate animatronics
and their rum-soaked bacchana-
lia still hold up.
