On a warm summer day in the middle of July, 1989, Splash Mountain opened to the public. The log-flume style ride cost a whopping $75 million to build and was named "Splash" Mountain in an effort to advertise the movie "Splash," with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. It's one of Disney's most beloved rides, and kids everywhere are at once excited and scared out of their minds to face the imminent drop. (credit:Disneyland / Facebook)

Opened for the first time in 1977, Space Mountain has become a cornerstone Disneyland attraction. Though the project was initially shelved due to spacial limitations, Bill Watkins, a designer/imagineer, brought back Walt Disney's far-fetched indoor thrill idea after his death. NOTE: A previous version of this slide stated that Space Mountain was the world's first tubular steel roller coaster. It was not. (credit:Space Mountain/Facebook)

The Matterhorn, opened in 1959, is composed of two intertwining steel coasters. The ride is named after a mountain in the Swiss Alps, and is an ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts) landmark because of its unique tubular steel continuous track.

The name Autopia merges the words "automobile utopia," which was popularized in academic circles by British architecture critic Reyner Banham to describe LA in his 1971 book "Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies." Autopia, along with Mr. Toads Wild Ride, opened with the park in 1955. Cars were originally tested without bumpers or guide rails, which lead to disastrous results. Eventually, after many developments, the cars were deemed fit for passenger use and the ride opened to the public. Now even little kids get the chance to control the road ... watch out!
