Happy Birthday to Disneyland's Monorail

Posted By Dan Gibson on Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 10:00 AM

Happy 53rd birthday to the Disneyland Monorail, which was the first daily operating monorail system in the Western Hemisphere and the launch of ~~the primary transportation for Americans today~~
a future punchline on The Simpsons. I blame Nixon, who was on hand as vice president to dedicate the monorail, as seen in the video above.
