Tuesday Trivia - Grand Canyon Diorama

Disneyland's Grand Canyon Diorama, the world's longest diorama, situated along the section of track between Disneyland Railroad's Tomorrowland and Main Street, U.S.A. stations, opened in 1958.  At the dedication ceremony, 96 year old Hopi Indian Chief Nevangnewa blessed the trains that would transport visitors past the dramatic scenes.  The Diorama was expanded in 1966 with the addition of Primeval World, taking guests back in time to the age of the dinosaur.  The dinos found in the diorama originally debuted at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, and at its' conclusion, were relocated to Anaheim.
