If I'm right, I'm a little confused. Because I was under the impression that that attraction wasn't an "Opening Day" ride. So why the gold vehicle, then. Well, I checked a back issue of the Disney Insider email and it doesn't say that the Golden Ride Vehicles are for opening Opening Day attractions, just that they are "special golden vehicles on many of Disneyland park's best-loved attractions."

Maybe my answer is wrong and this is a moot point. But if I'm right... help!

You sir are correct, and thanks for the bonus research on Disney's wiggle-room on the gold vehicle thing being an unqualified "special."

Yes, that was the day Guest Services still talks about. The drunk guy who came in and complained about the lack of gold at the Cinema then insisted there should be a 50 hour party.

:forehead slap: Duh, how could I forget the mysterious and confusing "gold" stain on one of the cinema screens?!

As for the "special" exemption, that may be for the vehicles, but does Dumbo have a plaque, and what exactly does the plaque read? (and is that a trivia question?)

trivia or not this one might get me back to the park for a little investigation - for if dumbo is exempt, why not a gold doombuggy?

What did Walt Disney say was America's greatest export?

More trivia - D'ya think I could sneak in a can of gold spraypaint?

Disclaimer: I'm far too crappy at being sneaky to pull this off, so it's a joke.

Mr. gn2dlnd believes the plaques say "Class of '55" or something to that effect. If so, then all of their bases are covered. That includes Dumbo and Casey without questions. As for other attractions that were added in '55 after opening day...well, they are all gone. All that's left from '55 are either true opening day attractions or the almost-but-not-quite Dumbo and Casey.

Still doesn't account for the exclusion of Main Street Cinema and Golden Horseshoe (although it could be argued that it's the shows at the theater that are listed as attractions, not the theater itself. And the show, of course, is gone).

I might be okay with this, if Disney didn't currently list these venues as attractions. But Disney always wants it both ways.
