The posters under the train station in Disneyland are changed with fairly regular frequency. They just added two new ones-- for the fireworks and Finding Nemo: Submarine Voyage.

Originally Posted By TOMORROWLOUNGE The original 1967 Pirates of the Caribbean attraction poster was used from 1967 untill basically the present (whent eh real silkscreen posters were gone a reproduction was used for Displat at Disneyland-it's there today!) The other poster was designed in 1982, by Jum Michaelson and Ken Ker--This was the "window" series of posters that WED was doing during the 70's and 80's to update the older posters. This was used for limted time at Disneyland as the decorating manager didn't like the new one--"it looks too much like a cereal box" -so both the 1967 & the 1982 were used at Disneyland at the same time.. WDW also used the same poster and is the ONLY Pirates Poster Disney World ever had-there was NO poster for it in 1973. Tokyo Disneyland also used the second version again knows and the "flame" or "cereal-box" version. Euro-Disneyland used a third generation poster, and now Tokyo Disneyland also uses a version of the EDL type. -Mike

Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech <<The posters under the train station in Disneyland are changed with fairly regular frequency.>> I beg to differ with you Dug. The last original poster that WDI actually added to the Disneyland Lineup was the Splash Mountain poster. Since then they have not only not added posters, they have removed them. THe other location to see a bunch of posters was at Carnation Gardens before Rancho Del Zocalo was built. That 70's Pirates poster most recently hung there. When Autopia got it's redo in 99 there was a poster designed for it, but it was a cheap litho print as opposed to an actual silkscreen. But it was displayed for a short time in the tunnels. Then, inexplicably they started removing the original posters that were in the tunnels and replacing them with the large reproductions that the Gallery sold- they even put up the Frontierland poster that showed the Stagecoach, Pack Mules, and Mine Train http://www.mouseplanet.com/mouseshoppe/FrontierlandTrio500.gif Then at some point later on, they started replacing the other originals in the tunnel with new prints, much lower quality than even the souviner prints. The colors were off, and what's worse rather than matting the smaller ones (Later posters from the 70s on were done smaller. posters from the 50's were 36x54- don't remember the sizes of the smaller ones) they just printed a flat color onto the area that would have been matted. Very cheap looking. Those are the posters that have been there until that New Nemo poster designed by Ralph Eggleston showed up. Then the Remember Fireworks show one turned up. Nice that they are showing an interest in doing attraction posters again.

Compared to the old days of new designs or attractions all the time, the 3 new posters in the last 15 years isn't frequently or regular. Sorry, that sounds argumentative, but I did interpret your comment to mean that they were constantly rotating, or updating posters.

It used the Tokyo Disneyland 1983 artwork and was screened for WDW-also the first poster for WDW to feature the NEW WDW script logo. ---The end of an era! Another side note: WDW has had the MOST variations of the It's A Small World poster! the 1971-1978 was identical to the Disneyland poster (no sponsor) and was the smaller WDW size. The second was 1978(Hartly "orange" poster) then in 1993--with the EDL art work and another around 1999/2000 with the TDL-"Blair-lavender" poster!!

That's why Disneyland's NEW FANTASYLAND attraction poster series had no MR. TOADS WILD RIDE! -they were really financed for Tokyo Disneyland!!!----and WED was able to borrow some for DL (and WDW).and that's New Fantasyland 1983 Pink Dumbo poster!!------that's TDL's Cinderlla's Golden Carousel down bellow.etc etc..........

The mix has been changed with fairly regular frequency. Specifically, a lot of old posters came back. (Not all silkscreen originals, either.) It was quite noticeable to see two NEW posters in the park, that's for sure.
Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech I see. Truce? You're right TomorrowLounge, I totally forgot about the Small World poster. So WDW's New Tomorrowland Poster doesn't count- it wasn't silkscreened?
