We all know the TWA Moonliner as the entrance monument to Disneyland's original "Rocket fo the Moon" ride, which operated in Anaheim from 1955 to 1966. Designed by Disney Imagineer John Hensch, the Disneyland rocket was actually HALF the size of the giant single-stage spacecraft Disney imagined would soon ferry tourists to and from the lunar surface. In 1962, TWA dropped its sponsorship of the prop and the livery markings were changed to that of Douglas Aircraft. The Moonliner disappeared from Disneyland with the closing of the Rocket to the Moon Ride in 1966, but it returned in 1998 -- albeit it 1/3 smaller -- as part of Redd Rocket's Pizza Port restaurant in the new "retro" Tomorrowland, where it can be seen and enjoyed today. |
