Flying Saucers (attraction)

Guests rode on personal flying saucers on a cushion of air, similar to an air hockey game, which played in a way similar to bumper cars with guests ramming each other with their saucers.

As the saucers moved about the field, the valves would open and close in response to their proximity.

[4] If weight was centered, the saucer would begin to "hop" up and down as the air randomly escaped around the plenum.

The ride was expensive to operate, maintenance was intensive, and it did not fit the normal Disneyland "guest flow" in that a relatively small number of riders was able to participate on any given day.

[5] On June 15, 2012, a new ride using similar technology opened in Cars Land inside Disneyland's sister park, Disney California Adventure.
