It was on this day in 1955 that Disneyland had a “soft open” to the press and invited guests, one day before their official opening. About 20 of the rides and attractions were ready, but a lot of other stuff…including the water fountains…was not. Due to counterfeit tickets being widely available more than double the expected 11,000 people showed up. A gas leak closed down several areas and vendors ran out of food. For years afterwards it was refereed to as “Black Sunday” by executives of the company. However, it didn’t seem to set them back too much: over 1 million people ended up visiting the park that first year and 4 million the year after. Attendance continued to grow every year, with almost 16 million people visiting the Anaheim park in 2009.
