Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Alice Ride Audio - Golden Ticket Loop

I believe that this music was added after the movie came out because the Chocolate Factory book came out in 1964, when this ride came out in 1962. Also, the movie came out in 1971

Curiouser and curiouser. Walt Disney allowed The Pleasure Beach to use Alice in Wonderland so why is the music featured in the attraction from an originally Paramount film , the movie is currently owned by Warner Bros, in the ride and still allowed to be used until this day?

No, not allowed, Walt Disney created the ride with Leonard Thompson and he got Arrow Development (the company that built the early Disneyland rides) to build it. Alice in Wonderland was and is in the public domain, so Walt Disney never had the authority to "give permission". It's better than that, he created the ride. The ride would've probably had Disney's blessing to use music from the film, but it never has. The music was originally done by a Wurlitzer, I imagine at some point that broke and I know for a fact that the music was different in the 90s. I'm so curious about what the original music sounded like, why they chose that weird 70s music from the 70s to the 00s that I'm familiar with and why it eventually became Willy Wonka, but I'm finding no answers.
