About Disneyland " Blast to the Past" Promotion:
Disneyland developed a series of off season promotions designed to raise attendance during the traditionally slow periods of the year. Disneyland held during the spring of 1988 and 1989 , the "Blast to the Past" promotion, a celebration of the "simpler" times of the 1950s and '60s, complete with rock n roll soundtrack and 50s attire.
Along with McDonald's Restaurants , Disneyland offered "Blast to the Past" to the public. Customers of the restaurant had the opportunity to win prizes such as reduced priced admission tickets to Disneyland and other prizes. Disneyland guests were also able to win items such as jukeboxes, frisbees, yo-yo's, hula-hoops and classic 1950s cars. The "Guess-o-Rama" sweepstakes allowed a chance at winning a car if you could correctly guess the number of '50s items in one of the specially marked classic cars show cased throughout the Park.
It wouldn't be a "Blast to the Past" if you didn't have actual entertainment from the '50s and '60s playing live for you at Videopolis. Performers included Herman's Hermits, the Turtles, Paul Revere and the Raiders and the Spinners. Weekends at Videopolis during "Blast to the Past" event served as the Disneyland Sock Hop.
Of course Disneyland had to be decorated to make the transformation from 1989 to the 1950s complete. Above the park entry tunnels into the world of make-believe were these large jukebox-style signs with the Blast to the Past logo. The Hub had a two-story jukebox fixture where a D.J. would "spin platters." In front of it's a small world was a tropical beach complete with palm trees where classic beach party scenes would play out.
Many of the Disneyland eateries were transformed into '50s-style diners. Tomorrowland Terrace became the "Rainbow Diner" complete with neon lights and signs. The 50s fun of "Blast to the Past" lasted for two spring sessions and ended about the same time as Circus Fantasy and State Fair. It definately brought more guests into the park, the guests enjoyed "Blast to the Past", a throwback to the '50s and '60s.
