Disneyland was originally opened in Anaheim, California in 1955, the first theme park constructed by the Walt Disney Company and the only directly designed and overseen by company founder Walt Disney. The park complex has been expanded significantly since its 1955 opening, encompassing two full theme parks and a number of upscale and family shopping, dining, and hotel options.
Disneyland is one of the top 5 things LA is known for. As the most visitor theme park in the world, the park has welcomed more than 708 million visitors since its opening. Eight themed lands across its original theme park are home to a variety of internationally-known rides and attractions, including the Space Mountain roller coaster, the Splash Mountain log ride, and the Pirates of the Caribbean themed dark ride. A number of rides themed after Pixar films are offered at the Disney California Adventure park, including one of the few eccentric wheel-style Ferris wheels in the world, modeled after Coney Island's famed Wonder Wheel.
