I've posted this question on the forums before, and have never had any luck. However I'm determined to find what I'm looking for, so I plan to keep trying every now and then.
Way back in 1977 when Space Mountain first opened at Disneyland, there was a really cool TV commercial advertising the attraction. It began with silhouettes of the Casle, the Matterhorn and Space Mountain as a "skyline" against a dark bluish sky. Then it showed very brief glimpses of various shots inside the mountain, followed by a special effect of guests in one of the rockets flying through space. The voiceover was simply the mission control recording that you would hear in the queue line. The commercial ended by showing the exterior of Space Mountain and a narrator's voice saying, "Space Mountain...It could only happen at Disneyland." It was a really cool commercial that lasted maybe 20-30 seconds. The tagline, "It could only happen at Disneyland", was used for the next few years in commercials for the New Matterhorn and for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Does anyone remember this commercial? Does anyone know how to get a copy of it? I saw it once again about 10 years ago at the Disney Archives in Burbank. And it was just as cool as I had remembered.
