That was the year the Matterhorn, Skyway buckets, The Submarine Voyage, The Alweg Monorail, Autopia and the motorboat cruise rides all had a big grand opening gala. Not since the official opening in 1955, has this many attractions been opened at one time. 1959 was also a good summer to catch the Tahitian Terrace show, or head over to the Plaza Pavillion and swing dance to the Count Basie Orchestra, or the famed in house band, The Elliot Brothers.
