Here is the final piece of the Alice 1958 project, a complete 360 Ride-Through all ready to experience on your computer, mobile device, or best of all on your VR headset.



This represents our ultimate goal to deliver an extinct Disneyland attraction that you could actually ride again. Thanks to everyone who followed us along while we worked together to research and recreate as best we could this dark ride that risked being lost to memory.


Creators - Don Carson, Daniel Rover Singer, Karen Thompson, Heidi Hirsch

    I've always wished there was a video game or virtual experience where we can explore Disneyland thru the years and learn about the park's history and experience it's attractions from back then.
  • It’s an honor to be able to live in a time where people can recreate these classic attractions virtually! This recreation is absolutely incredible!

    Just as I remember it. The Upside Down was cooler than people think.

    I’m glad I didn’t grow up with this version, I was a scaredy-cat as a little kid

    Disney would make a KILLING if they had virtual recreations of the original park for fans to view. I've always always wanted to experience it as it was before. Thank you for this invaluable work in preserving the park as it was.

    My only "difference" of opinion is that, as I remember it back in the 1960s, when you went past the flowers, the choral version of "Golden Afternoon" was playing. Here you have the instrumental version - which may have been the case back in 1958. And I always wondered what was up with the "Upside Down Room" since there wasn't one in the movie - but - oh - wait - there was an "Upside Down" moment: when Alice reaches the bottom of the rabbit hole, SHE is upside down (her feet held up by a curtain rod) and she sees the White Rabbit running off upside down. Then she realizes her feet are stuck in the curtain rod and rights herself up. I guess ride designer Claude Coats thought that would be a fun moment to exaggerate.

    It really does bring back memories. I love the head of the caterpillar on the car.

    Loved that ride more than any other Fantasyland ride...and only at Disneyland Anaheim....the only thing I did not hear was the sound of the pneumatic pump as the "umbrella Bird's" body lowered...as I watched...I could literally recall the smell of the air in there...thanks for sharing.
  • @rflp
    Wow, that's almost completely different from the version I grew up with. Thank you for documenting this history.

    Good gravy, this is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Ever since I found out about this version of the ride, I've always wanted to see it in its entirety, and you and your team captured it beautifully based on what I've read in descriptions. Thank you all so much for putting together this wonderfully insane blast from the past!

    dang, a virtual reconstruction of a virtual reconstruction, wild.

    First time I’m seeing the final product. Takes me back. I remember freaking out at age three from the horns and Cheshire dropping down.
  • @hunterolaughlin
    Quick, somebody share this video with Mark from Yesterworld! As someone who previously talked the ride’s 1958 - 1983 iteration in an episode about the ride itself, he’d love this!
  • This is incredible. Thank you for allowing those of us who came later to experience this attraction in such a cool way!
  • @ryanthemepark
    Wow. Completely different than what is currently at the park.
  • @nickthetrex
    So this is what the original Alice In Wonderland ride looked like when it first opened to the public.
  • I always finding the old version of Alice ride on the internet. This is amazing! ❤

    That was such a fun flashback Think I prefer it in real life better. I loved the neon colors of this ride. A favorite for sure
