On piano: remarkable Rod Miller, who pounds them outin an enthusiastic honky- tonk style all his own. Rod's made that sound a cheerful part of the Disneyland experience. In the seven years he’s been playing for Park guests he’s run through more than 100,000 songs. He's worn out eight pianos!IRIFYTHMS IN RAGTIME cones Surprisingly, he doesn’t know how to read music, but he does know more than 500 songs by heart. To learn a new song, he listens to atape or record, then adds his own flourishes to adapt it to his own unique ragtime sound He's able to play an amazing 22 notes per second at top speed, rolling through songs like “Mame” and “Meet Me in St. Louis” in less than a minute or two. Those hearing Rod for the first time listen in awe as he hits the keys faster than the eye can see Many cannot believe he is really playing. They think the piano is mechanical and that Rod is just faking it. Even when he plays slow, he plays fast. Wide-eyed youngsters flock around the keyboard to watch as Rod's nimble fingers fly from key to key, piling note upon note, song after song, He plays everything from Gershwin to Joplin, from old fa- vorites like “Roll Out the Barrel” to new ones like “The Entertainer’ (theme from The Sting) all of them in that indescribably catchy rhythm called ragtime. Twenty-eight-year-old Rod started playing piano only ten years ago. Asa teenager in Staples, Minnesota, he bought and rebuilt an old player piano, the kind that 6 uses perforated paper rolls to move the keys. It looked like fun, so Rod sat down at the keyboard, He practiced several hours a day for over a year, then began playing professionally. Two years after he moved to California, he came to Disneyland, Rod's smile, as brightand cheerful as the music he plays, has won a lot of friends. Many guests, on repeat visits to Disneyland, make a special point of stopping by to say hello and listen as Rod plays a favorite song. His most frequent request these days is for “The Entertainer’ fol- lowed by “Maple Leaf Rag’ “12th TLL aol as Peete ee La Street Rag” and “Tiger Rag” Other requests range from “I'm In the Mood for Love" (played in honky- tonk rhythms) to “Cabaret” “Hello Dolly” and "Sweet Gypsy Rose” “I love pianos that are out of tune’ says Rod."They have an old, authentic ragtime sound that way” Whatever he plays, Rod's music is sure to make almost everyone smile. Such upbeat tunes as “Music, Music, Music” and “Ain't We Got Fun’ typify Rod's buoyant style. As pleased listeners walk away from Rod's piano to enjoy the other wonders of Disneyland, you can hear them humming a song— in ragtime, of course! *eR on RC ee ORCS aS aS the delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners Cte NRCC Ce Cl Rael we serve 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Just because it’ filled with ghosts, goblins and other eerie surprises is no reason to shake in your boots. Oris it? The fact is, Disneyland’ Haunted Man- sion is as creepy as it looks, chock-full of unholy spirits, unexplained noises and unearthly screams. But those things cant hurt you, can they? What's a blood-curdling laugh between friends, after all? Just a bit of fun, you understand. Just fun. Or is it? Certainly, no harm can come to you once you've walked down the long, dusty corridor of haunted portraits and climbed aboard your own, very black Doom Buggy. This smooth-rolling car carries you and the disembodied voice of the Mansion’s Ghost Host on a dark journey through the labyrinth of rooms and attics that make up the Haunted Mansion. On your way, you'll see such out-of-this-world won- ders as a dim hallway that beckons you to enter but offers no end, a seance con- ducted by a bodyless head ina crystal ball, the Grand Hall, where you can watchin utter fascination as the ghosts of a long-ago party appear and disappear as they dance to the echoes of yesterdays music. The musty Mansion attic is filled with trunks, chairs, dress forms and a considerable number of bats, spider webs and other ghastly things, plus a group of ghouls who are just dying to meet you. And if you still feel a bit jumpy, alittle nervous or a trifle uneasy, then you can relax as your Doom Buggy glides you through the decrepit graveyard adjoining the Mansion. ‘Aaauugh! Just the place to make your skin craw! and hair stand up, isn’t it? You might even wish you were someplace else. Anyplace else. Except, perhaps, that decaying crypt over there. This playground for poltergeists is every- thing you never dreamed of, a regular zombies delight. This is the place where a quartet of marble busts comes to life and joins the ghostly spirits in singing “Grim Grinning Ghosts! the Haunted Mansion’s theme song. This is the place of chill winds, an uneasy gatekeeper, a graveyard picnic and other nightmarish sights and apparitions too spooky to describe. Yes, the Haunted Mansion i full of spine- tingling surprises, all right. When you're done, you'll probably think it wasn't so bad. You'll be tempted to go back for another ride. Afterall, you made itthrough ‘once, didn’t you? It's not so scary. Oris it?San Diego Wild Animal Park. CO ea eae ce Sc eT ene eR Ricco ee eae eur ected ees eee ero nrc rail, $3.75.

When finished, Space Moun- tain will be able to accommodate more than 2100 guests per hour. Using specially designed six- passenger vehicles in tandem, dis~ patched every 20 seconds, guests will travel over 3000 feet of track at speeds up to 28 miles per hour. The main structure is 200 feet in diameter and contains more then one million cubic feet of space. The rest of the Space Mountain com- plex contains a large amphitheater for presentation of live entertain- ‘ment, a fast-food facility,a merchan- dising shop specializing in Character clothing and a large, modern arcade, featuring themed electronic games. A planetarium-type pre-show, using lights reflected from passing Space Mountain vehicles, wil entertain and inform guests as they move up an ascending ramp to the loading dock. Guests can also view the attraction in actual operation before boarding. And former astronaut Gordon Cooper appears in a short film explaining what is to happen on the ride. There is even a special “chicken” ramp for those who have a change of heart and want to leave before boarding Cooper views Space Mountain as “an attempt to give people the most realistic feeling of what they might encounter in space without actually taking @ real space flight, As we gain new knowledge and insight con- cerning space, Space Mountain will be improved upon in true Disney fashion” The space journey takes its pass- engers on a fast-moving voyage through a three-sided, S0-foot-long ‘solar tunnel, giving guests the feeling of traveling through infinite space. Shooting stars, diving meteors and iridescent comets shriek through the black void as the cars orbit @ glowing satellite, then plunge on past strange stars and unknown galaxies. At re-entry, voyagers fly through a multicolored vapor curtain before arriving safely back on Earth. NOTE: This attraction was designed ‘and engineered by WED Enterprises, the master planning, research and development arm of the Disney organization. It is quite similar to the Space Mountain attraction at ‘Walt. Disney World in Florida. We think that Space Mountain at Disney- land is going to be one of the most exciting, entertaining and thrilling attractions in America. a bio "THERE’S AWORLD OF THINGS TO SEE AND DO. ‘See Shamus in his starspangled Yankee Doodle Whale show.

With its sod roof (which, by the way, grows real grass), log cabin construction and stone fireplace in- side, the Trading Postis as authentic- looking as its wares. Items range from genuine Cherokee headdresses to hand- made pottery from Colorado's Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. These beautiful pots, vases, bowls, pitchers and other pottery items are each one- of-a-kind. Every piece is hand- molded, decorated individually, handpainted and signed by the artist. No two designs are alike. Other handcrafted items include blankets featuring unique Indian patterns, the famous Kachina dolls of the Hopi Tribe and handwoven baskets. There are moccasins, toy tom-toms and tomahawks, beaded pouches and belts~all reflecting traditional indian designs. And from artisans and craftsmen of the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni Tribes come a variety of exquisite tur- quoise and silver jewelry; rings, bracelets and necklaces of rich color and elegance. The beauty of native American designs and the skills of many Indian artists combine to offer guests a tempting choice of truly Unusual items. All of them pre- sented with pride at Disneyland’s unusual shop, Bear Country's Indian Trading Post. *Freedom! Pethapsthe most cherished of all American rights. To commemorate Americas 200th year, Disney artists have designed a spectacular new 53-foot mural for Gulf Oil Corporation, and it has been installed in The Walt Disney Story featuring Great Moments with Mr Lincoln, Located in the Main Street Opera House, the attraction is pre~ sented free by Gulf Oil Beautifully painted in oils, the S'iefoot high mural portrays five aspects of America’s heritage of freedom. Four of these freedoms are derived from a speech by President Franklin D. 4 Roosevelt in 1941: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Feat. To these four freedoms is added a fifth: Free Enterprise. Twelve Americans who achieved ‘great accomplishments by exercising this ith freedom are depicted on the mural. They include Alexander Graham Bell telephone inventor; Thomas A. Edison, inventor of electrical devices; Andrew Camegie, iron and steel industrialist; Orville and Wilbur Wright, aviation pioneers ‘ls, Henry Ford, automobile ‘manufacturer; Pearl S. Buck, Pulitzer Walt Disney prize-winning novelist; George ‘Washington Carver, agricultural chemist and educator; David Sarnoff, com: munications executive; Robert H. Goddard, pioneer in rocket propulsion: Albert Einstein, physicist; and Walt Disney, family entertainment producer and, of course, founder and creator of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. ‘Along with portraits of each person, vignettes of their contributions through the American free enterprise system are blended ina flowing montage across the mural. Facsimile signatures of each individual are also shown, The mural adoms one wall of thePearl S. Buck exit hallway of the Opera House and is seen by audiences as they leave Disneyland’s inspiring Audio- Animatronics presentation of ‘Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln believed strongly in the freedom to prosper from individual efforts. A quote from The Great Emancipator, in fact, keynotes the Fifth Freedom Mural. Lincoln sai: 1 believe each individual is na- tually entiled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruit of his labor so faras it in no wise inter fereswith any other man’s rights. Albert Einstein To celebrate the unique character and principles upon which this nation was founded, Disneyland proudly presents to its guests this stirring portrait of five American freedoms *= than 50 wild rides and at Be spebiasest stars in op, A action" OW bu. ‘Si, Se, All for only one low admission price!

If you listen carefully, you'll even hear the sounds of those times-the honking of a bulb hom on a motor car; the clang of a streetcar’s bell; and the rhythmic clip-clop of horseshoes on the street (On Main Street and its Town continued‘continued ‘Square, Disneyland has recaptured ‘America’s turn-of-the-century at- mosphere.
