Very cool. I've always loved that little mishap with the ribbon cutting ceremony. It shows that even in Walt's day, little things were not always "perfect".

I love the fact that the look of Disneyland's current Monorail fleet is a tribute to the original Monorail design.

Thanks for sharing, that was great! Loved Walt helping the Nixon kids cut the ribbon and him laughing about it. Very cool seeing the original train. :cool:
