Pacific Ocean Park, September 1959

Today I'm posting the last of my Pacific Ocean Park (POP) slides! I'd almost forgotten about these four.

I've seen quite a few photos of this trumpet-playing, diaper-wearing statue, but can find no information as to who he's supposed to be. A character from a fable or fairy tale? To our left is the Westinghouse exhibit, featuring a nuclear submarine display, a modular home of the future (er?) and Electro the love bot from the 1939 New York World's Fair.


I'm refunding your money, because I make a lousy tour guide. What the heck is this attraction? Kind of a dragon-y monorail thing. Is it the back end of a Sea Serpent train? Who knew that dragons had faces on their butts?


Here's a detail of the exterior of the Magic Carpet ride. King Neptune sez: "Fly with me on the Magic Carpet and we'll relive enchanting moments from famous fairy tales as we soar above delightful scenes from such childhood favorites as 'The Nightingale', 'Hansel and Gretel', and others." Well OK!


And finally, here's part of a happy family walking along the International Promenade. Neptune says it's ..." like taking a trip around the world, for here you may enjoy the finest in food, beverages, and merchandise from many different foreign countries". Just like EPCOT!


Here endeth my collection of POP slides. I sure wish I had more!
