DART

DART
In 1963, the success of Disneyland sparked all sorts of moneymaking schemes from ambitious promoters. One such proposal was a four to six mile elevated train "of completely novel design" between Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm. To bring this project to reality, the Duorail Aerospace Rapid Transit Corp. (DART) needed to get the Anaheim City Council to sponsor the project. With that sponsorship, DART could seek $21 million in Federal  funding from the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency. Anaheim City Administrator Keith Murdoch described the project as "a truly experimental system, a research and development venture quite properly within the jurisdiction of the federal government." When asked at the time, Disneyland management was not aware of the project nor was Walter Knott who said, "The first time I heard about it was when I read the Papers." When City officials started checking into DART they could not obtain any information and the project faded into history.
