I remember this ride well. Functioning much like the air-hockey games you see in movie theatres and arcades, the blue plastic floor would release air as the little saucers glided over it – they were steered by shifting your weight. Unfortunately this ride only lasted about 5 years, probably due to the risk of injury or litigation. [Even in 1961, California had 29 attorneys per capita.]

Darn it! It looks like even more fun than bumper cars!
The Flying Saucers were andstill are my Favorite Ride at Disneyland. I First rode it in 1962 I was six years old my older brother rode it with me I couldn’t pull the lever to make it turn. I think we went to Disneyland three times before it was removed 1967. In June of 1977 I started working at Disneyland just as Space Mountain opened on the Site of the Flying Saucers. I still miss them.
Great memories. It was a wonderful ride for sure.
