This might be the greatest single thing that the immortal Walt Disney ever made. I first rode it at Disneyland in Anaheim in March 1968. Thank you, Walt. You shaped my psyche.

[@dremienchanted1878]

it's funny how this is always empty because people dislike it, and yet, it's one of my FAVORITE rides at Magic Kingdom.

[@teatime3014]

One time it was storming and we got stuck and by the time we got off the storm was over 😂

[@TheHocke37714]

Actually my favorite attraction , I remember the theme song in the 90's . Now is the time , Now is the best time , Now is the best time of your life !

[@teatime3014]

I got stuck on this ride and the song played on a loop for 45 mins... there's a great big beautiful tomorrow....

[@fool4singing]

Me too! My boyfriend and I had some sex to pass the time...

[@JavaCake]

@@fool4singing what

[@janeyrevanescence12]

yes, not only is it the seats but parts of the stage show itself (the rooms where the other family members are sitting). Highly advanced for the 1960's and it's still considered a technological wonder. This was Walt's favorite ride and he requested that the show never close. I'm glad it hasn't. This was one of my family's favorite rides, especially my grandpa's. It's tradition that we ride on this ride when we visit the Magic Kingdom

[@PixarShark]

19:16 - And THAT is why nowadays you first have to bark "ALEXA" or "OKAY GOOGLE". 😆

[@The_Original_Alex_Channel]

Yessss😂

[@markre60]

Oh man, does this take me back. I was about 6 years old when I first saw this at Disneyland, Epic. There's a great big beautiful Tomorrow, shining at the end of every day. Hope I have that right. Disneyland.... no other place like this on Earth.

[@coburnj54]

I rode this three times my last trip here. You ride it because you want to sit down, rest your feet, avoid the crowds, and watch the only ride in Florida built by Walt himself.

[@Angie2343]

Yeah. True, his company has had a few ups and downs since he passed on, but it's gotten really amazing. :) Meeting him would be a dream come true, and the cast members in his parks will know he is their REAL boss.

[@AttractionSpot]

Yeah no problem. Thanks for watching!

[@nevercomestheday]

For the people mentioning the cast member who passed away, it was on America Sings, the short-lived same stage replacement for the Carousel of Progress, which was in Disneyland.

[@vj563]

I love it too! I love most of the Disney World rides. Each are special in their own way. :)

[@xandemotta]

Thanks and congrats for the videos. Can´t wait to see it all next week.Hugs from Brazil.

[@AndrewPonce]

people think this "ride" is boring but honestly, i REALLY like it :)

[@MomilyMoon]

The song in this version was in the original Worlds fair version. There are recordings of walt himself singing it. The "Now is the time" song was added in the seventies. They went back to their roots here.

[@davidhinojosa1027]

I remember going to see this several times a day to waste time till we could use our Fast Pass on rides. Can't wait to go back next year!

[@BrandonTurpin83]

I was stuck on it over an hour during a bad thunderstorm outside. I vowed never to go on the carosel of progress again. But it's been 10 years now so I guess I can be over it.

[@DastardDurango]

That Old Guy Never Ages......

[@ShadowShogun50]

Man...I missed that when I went there last month :P thanks for uploading

[@RyanWehr]

this was such a cool experience. love the theme song!

[@ComicBookFreak1985]

Even though I am partial to the thrill rides (Space Mountain, Rock'n Rollercoaster, Expedition Everest, Tower of Terror etc..) I love Carousel of Progress.

[@decbony]

I went on this a few weeks ago. I really felt I went with him through the times. Like I was literally on it for years and not just twenty minutes.

[@zarabeth17]

Jean Shepherd was awesome as the narrator!!!!!!!

[@MadameLil]

I first saw this in 1982. The teenage daughter was originally portrayed as going to a trolley party (1904), then wore a yellow rain slicker with current slang written on it (1920s). Those two things probably got changed with the the years because changing audiences wouldn't understand them or find them dangerous.

[@AttractionSpot]

Its the audience the moves. Thats why they tell you to be seated. If you look for another video in the middle of the ride the cast member is freaking out and yelling a bunch of times for the people to sit down when they wernt listening.

[@phinboys]

Greatest ride of all time.

[@Angie2343]

Made by Walt himself for our enjoyment.

[@Angie2343]

Yeah! It looks just like it!

[@MsGleek1997]

FAVORITE THING IN DISNEY!!!!!!!!

[@kimopuppy]

There was a central core that never moved and a outer core that moved around the central core. The older design did not have the house of the future, but instead had a escalator that everyone went up to see the city of the future you then exited upstairs and came down the ramps.

[@ChelseaSoftmore]

I love this ride :)

[@FLWDWFreak]

The final scene was changed to what it is now in 1981 (I think). It shows what kinds of technology they thought would be created in the 1980s.

[@vj563]

It was like "Now is the time, now is the best time..."

[@0113Austin]

When the ride first opened a girl who had worked there a few days was crushed between the wall and the moving seats, she didnt know the seats moved and was standing in the wrong spot

[@QueenTruJuliette]

If Walt Disney was still alive he would love how far Disney has gone :)

[@MrTravisDCook]

Thank You Thank You Thank You, My family and I were just singing this song last night at the dinner table thinking about this memory and how I wish my son could see it. BOOM Ty

[@AttractionSpot]

Your welcome!

[@MarySue1964]

Actually that was a teenage boy who died trying to save his little brother who couldn't swim. They were on Tom Sawyer Island and missed the last raft back. So they decided to swim across the Rivers of America. And by the way, they sneaked onto Tom Sawyer by climbing a fence. That's why they decided to swim back rather than call attention to their sneaking in by asking cast members for help.

[@Angie2343]

I wish he was. :'( He would make the best meet-and-greet experience of all.

[@anachelnance6329]

I wish I could see the older one, I have heard it soo many times..

[@WDI2008]

And the attraction was actually America Sings which is what replaced the Carousel of Progress and ran from 1974-1988

[@alantic1]

@gcrebel2008 that's because the show was made for 1964 new york world fair. At the time the carousel stopped in 1900 1920 1940 1960(the present at the time). In the 90s, they had to redo the ride(new script, new music and props), the only scene to cange was the present scene(since it's not 1960 anymore).

[@irishmom58]

lol - just got back today - saw this twice yesterday - old favorite!! The Carousel of Passive Aggresion (not that you care, Jim) Carousel of Boredom, Carousel of the clueless

[@Angie2343]

Yeah! We're IN the twenty-first century RIGHT NOW.

[@TheTenThousandThings]

Yeeeeeh mah boi Rover! Holdin' down the drip dam for the American Dream!

[@Clint7777]

this needs to be updated...its weird how it goes from the 50s-60s era to the "future" which isn't even futuristic but more like a late 80s version of what the early 2000s would be lol

[@Christopher69691]

Well right before 1993 it changed dramatically on the last scene from a 70's version (which at the time was modern) to a modern version of the 90's, but it's all the same otherwise. Only thing they changed was the TV design from a projection TV to a Plasma. I just went to Magic kingdom though last week and the ride was closed for renovations. Don't know what they were doing, could have been just a tune up, but I don't know how long it was closed for.

[@Angie2343]

Yeah!

[@AttractionSpot]

Your welcome. I never seemed to find any good videos or the complete thing on one video. I hate having to have seperate parts to a video.

[@jman1948]

The last seen is what the future looked like in 1994, the year I was born. Now it is is a reality....

[@FLWDWFreak]

Yes.

[@AttractionSpot]

Yeah

[@me2fan1]

This freaking "ride" scared the shit out of me when I went here in 2002.

[@Anonarchist]

I can't wait for the future of projection screen TVs and laserdisc. The next centurys gonna be awesome... the 88 years left of it that is.

[@AttractionSpot]

Yes but at least they saved a small child in the process.

[@AttractionSpot]

The Wizard was a good movie!

[@AttractionSpot]

I believe its the seats.

[@Angie2343]

I can't wait to take Wendy Darling and Peter Pan on this!

[@izthemovie]

My god this is creepy to watch. Knowing a cast member was crushed from this ride for getting too close to the edge. I was just at Disney a few months ago and almost went on this ride. I know it's safe so long as you follow the rules, but the concept of what happened is so spooky.

[@jackwolf131]

Wow! I'm afraid to play doubles with their grandma in a video game. I know she'll beat me too ;)

[@hannahscamera9709]

Keep moving forward.

[@zac613]

I think your talking about the death that happened on America Sings (now Innoventions) at Disneyland where the cast member was crushed to death due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@gcrebel2008]

I remember going to that back in 1998. One thing I didn't like though was how they skipped the 60s, 70s and 80s.

[@Angie2343]

I love how the cast member explains WHY you need to stay seated. Walt, if he were alive, would give her a pay raise. =D THIS is how you get people to listen to you.

[@HandsomeAngellifefunDisney]

the best, so happy because i going 4 june 2013

[@UrSammich]

Sad thing is, I've been in that building where it used to be. They constantly change the building that its never the same. I remember when I was in it, I think the ride was innovations at the time. I just found out about the death thing, I always wondered what would happen if someone was stuck or whatever since it rotated...now I know. I'm shocked there haven't been haunted reports in that building. :/

[@spyyder976]

they don't run this when crowds are low; it's usually closed for refurb or to save money during low crowd seasons; it always says it's open seasonally, which means it's just something else to help manage crowds during busy times; it can't be that much help though, i don't know why anybody would ever ride it twice

[@janeyrevanescence12]

It sounds very surprising but the attraction is actually very popular with guests.They did try to phase it out shortly after 9/11 (after park attendance went down) and a lot of people got pretty upset.

[@zac613]

no. that was America Sings in1974 at Disneyland. A cast member was in the wrong spot and got caught between the moving theatre wall and the stage wall and was crushed to death.

[@Angie2343]

I know Walt would be upset, too. He came up with the whole thing.

[@AttractionSpot]

No but I watched a youtube video where the castmember was yelling over the mic a bunch of time cause people wouldnt sit down.

[@Angie2343]

The cast member at the beginning sounds just like B.J. Ward, who voices Sarah in the attraction. =O

[@Ducttapestuff]

@deathbyillusion Where did you hear that she died saving a small child? Every single news article I've read about the incident has clearly stated that the ride was empty when the accident occured.

[@GrandpasGirlKimWillbee326]

there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day, there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow's just a dream away, man has a dream, and that's a start, he follows his dream with mind and heart, and when it becomes a reality, it's a dream come true for you and me, so, there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day, there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, just a dream away.

[@Angie2343]

Do you wish he was still alive on this Earth? I do. He would have LOVED EPCOT Center.

[@KeybladeScar]

I think that song would get on my nerves after the first couple turns lol

[@Angie2343]

Walt would have LOVED the technologies of the 21st century, and how progressive we have become (solar-powered cars, for example).

[@georgef551]

Oh, really? I didn't know that. Thanks for the history lesson.

[@MarySue1964]

Now if someone could just splice together a video of all the changes in the fourth act of the Carousel of Progress that was supposed to represent the present day and possible future developments. I've found the 1967 version and an early 1990s version. The early 1990s version was where the theme song was "Now is the time".

[@paulyd20117777]

this is the same guy who narrated a christmas story i thought he sounded familiar :)

[@Claytona500]

i hope they never update this lmao. i love the last part it's so vintage and wonderful

[@AttractionSpot]

Well that actually happened when this was at Disneyland. Now they have breakaway walls that the Castmener was actually saving a little child and took her life instead of the childs. At least she did a good deed and saved the chiled before she died. Im sure it must of been a horrific thing to watch!

[@worldtraveler5]

This was at the NY World's Fair in 1964

[@kimmorgan9930]

The seat thing is not there anymore right? Cuz I was there last summer and it wasn't there :s

[@GothicSprinkalMuffin]

Is that clay Aiken at the end??

[@bcan86]

people have gotten crushed to death by being too close to the stage while the stage rotates

[@lorrieprothero2175]

bummed that they updated the ride - I preferred the "old" future rooms.

[@Angie2343]

Yup. Walt admitted so himself. :)

[@michaelterry1000]

Hey Florida Give us this ride back! We have this really crappy attraction called 'innovations' in that theater in California. Its an amazing waste.

[@AttractionSpot]

I dont know if this was like this when you were there but the last room has been changed to todays standards. Was it like that when you went?

[@UrSammich]

Though I just read somewhere some people think they've heard/seen the ghost in the building at disneyland. :/ then again there are many rumored haunts at disney. :/

[@PunkRockDrummerBoy22]

I wonder if walt was still alive, if he would want a new carosel of time put in with todays future!?!?!?

[@joshuavargas2468]

What's moving the stage or the audience?

[@Angie2343]

The final scene needs some more updating.

[@AttractionSpot]

Is there?

[@Tumosur]

Are you moving during this, or is the stage moving?

[@zac613]

the seats.

[@Angie2343]

Time for an update.

[@Megan0Elyse]

Ahahaha the "future" segment is archaic already.

[@conniepooh100]

Is this ride still open????

[@KingJerry2323]

Yup

[@dlee3532]

Sweeeeeet!

[@coastertron]

So, the audience moves? Or stage..?
