38086 - 1998 Attraction Series - Cosmic Waves - Disneyland Resort

Pin Description:

Cosmic Waves is one of 67 pins released as a series in 1998 (before pin trading had officially started) to commemorate some of Disneyland's favorite attractions - both present to that time and from the past. The Cosmic Waves attraction, was an interactive fountain that opened in 1998. The pin - in blues and red - has a large ball in the center and two fountains of water on either side; the fountain on the right rises higher and has blasted a child (blue shorts, orange shirt) into the air. Above left is the word COSMIC in red and WAVES in purple; beneath is the Disneyland logo. This silver-finished pin measures 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) tall by 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) wide. The backstamp reads, "DISNEY." Pin is individually numbered. There were three different framed pin sets of Tommorowland attraction pins offered by the Disney Gallery around the time that Tomorrowland was "updated" to its present configuration. Tomorrowland was apparently redone once before in the 1960's, so each pin set represented an era: The original Tomorrowland, the first revision, and the present, with the attractions that were associated with each. These were expensively framed and matted sets, retailing around $150.
