Magic Kingdom Carousel of Progress

[@ebook3]

Every time I ride this I get the music stuck in my head for a week.

[@jbeachboy100]

thats why they picked it.

[@anabelleal5882]

I went yesterday and I can’t take out the song 🙄

[@caffeinemilk]

You mean...5 *_YEARS_*

[@ru42]

Or more

[@kenwbrenner]

Another example of a Disney attraction that never gets old. I hope they never change it...

[@jbeachboy100]

you dont want change?

[@kenwbrenner]

Hi. It's nice to see that some good, decent, and "innocent" things are still around for one to enjoy. Another example is the movie in France at Epcot. While it was made in the early 1980s, it too provides, not only a very good tour of France, but a positive one as well. I recognize that we must accept some change in our society, but not all of it is good. And, I like to have something good from the past to hang onto.

[@jbeachboy100]

ken, you a big fan of carousel?

[@superdudexhq1987]

Well they could ad future decades

[@ru42]

Well, updates wouldn't be bad to the last scene

[@cryptocrew6456]

is this family immortal or some thing

[@jbeachboy100]

yes,

[@Ross-117]

mark d yes they are

[@xboxusage1766]

Ben Goldstine no i heard a theory i believe in. Let me explain Before Act 1, John was born in 1890. This makes sense because assuming in act 2 that Patricia is 18 or 19, Act 2 John had to have given birth when he was 18 or 19, and 1890 was 36 or 37 years before Act 2. Jimmy in act 1 is secretly Act 2 jimmy. Then later, in Act 4, the grandpa is Act 1 John due to the root beer reference. The John is act 4 is Act 3 john. Act 3 john is jimmy in act 2. Sarah of acts 2 and 3 is jimmy marrying the unknown girl in Act 1. Sarah in act 4 is is the daughter of a kid of Act 1 John.

[@ru42]

yes

[@drabberfrog]

Yes

[@skywarrior28]

If they added a new scene today it would be 4 minutes of silence with everyone's heads down looking at their phones. All you will hear is just texting sounds.Then when the scene was over they would just sort of mumble "Its a great big beautiful tomorrow" while looking down at there phones. Are you sure you want it updated now??

[@k_n_c_y]

skywarrior28 The fact that this comment is 100% accurate is kind of sad...

[@jaspernewton6166]

skywarrior28 honestly I would love to see that it’d be hilarious

I remember seeing this when I went to Disney World when I was 7 and loved it.I re-watched this now at the ageof 16 and still remember the words! Ahhh good memories

[@ru42]

How about now

[@vietnamflashbacks]

This is my favorite Disney ride of all the four parks I've been to!

[@drabberfrog]

I'm about to ride it as I'm typing this reply

[@MultiStorm111]

been to disney world florida 4 times and every time i go i always go on this attraction and of cause it a great big beautiful tomorrow

[@ru42]

Indeed

[@Fugsy07]

How love how content they are with what they have in each era and the constant surprise and delight with progress. And I love the relentless optimism! It's this kind of ride that inspires the mind and stays with you long after the adrenaline from thrill rides has gone.

[@xwonderxnotesxx]

I'm watching this because I miss Disney :'(

[@leaky2220]

Aww, me too I'm 15

[@ru42]

Even more-so now

[@soccer_bro4217]

At least at that time COVID-19 wasn’t a thing

[@brownies4you]

WOW! Talk about a blast from the past. Thank you for posting this. I visited WDW in 1979 and remember sitting through this presentation. This version is slightly different. In the version I saw, the 1920s daughter wore her hair in a black bob and she spoke about women's rights and the last family scenario was much, much different. Thank you very much for posting this video clip.

[@tracyjones7322]

This isn't the one I remember from the 70's and 80's, but most of the same elements are still there. I've been watching a lot of the rides today and it really takes me back. It's amazing how Disney's rides haven't changed too terribly much over the decades and STILL resonate with me today. I thought they retired the carousel, though. It is one of my favorite childhood memories. I am so glad technology has provided me the ability to go back to my treasured days.

[@DougCeleste]

I agree with you. This is NOT the one I saw in the 1960's and 1970's at Disneyland.

[@Undercoverelevator212-s2n]

@@DougCeleste This is because General Electric is no longer a sponsor of the show, therefore the show remains sponsorless.

[@ru42]

A few updates over time

[@alanatolstad4824]

The voice of the father is Jean Shepard. He wrote the story that inspired the film "A Christmas Story". He also appeared in the movie and played the part of the gentleman who says to Ralphie and his brother as they're getting in line to see Santa "The line ends here. It begins back there."

Progress

[@Jerberjer]

I just realized we have ALL of the things that were in the "Future" part of this ride and more. It's not much different than when I saw this as a kid in the 90's That's......incredibly awesome but kind of scary. We're running out of things to look forward to.

[@TheAgentarchangel83]

Jerbens Jarman Not if we remember to dream bigger.

[@princeharming8963]

Jerbens Jarman - Running out of things to look forward to.. similar to the Disney employees who were fired, and replaced with HB 1 visa workers... and then told "You will train your replacements.. if you want your severance pay.". And a "Great big beautiful tomorrow" to you too!

There is imagination left

[@Bringbackthefair64]

Thanks RU42, i love watching this video: it makes me feel nostalgic every time. You did a great job recording it, too, if i don't say so myself :)

[@spideraxis5582]

I remember this from an exhibit at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Then it moved to Disney World where I saw it in 1979. The last segment was added later.

[@ru42]

Was a Disneyland right after the World's Fair

[@1DawnMarie1]

We just got back from a trip to Disney World and my daughter has watched this video over and over! Of all the fun things for a 4 year old to do, she LOVED The Carousel of Progress.

[@titans08]

Thank you SO much for uploading this, it was my favorite part of the summer when I would go to Magic Kingdom with my dad before school started... since his passing I keep wanting to find things that brings his memory back, and I'm definitely remembering him tonight!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@AmandaBear26]

Aww, no mention of 3D printers? "Dad, soon we'll be able to print our own internal organs! Cool, huh?"

[@andreapatane4204]

In the words of Rose from Titanic, "Ach, that's disgusting".

[@americanthemeparks7093]

Walt’s vision for this attraction only covered the 1900’s. 3D printers are a 21st century invention.

[@ru42]

Maybe in the next update

[@FinlaythePug]

Wow!! Thank you so much for uploading this video! I just got back from Disney World this had to be one of my favorites. I gotta admit i went on this one 3 times. I just loved the ending. Also 4:15 haha It's incredible how realistic they look.

[@TheNumnutRandomness]

So many memories.

[@ru42]

My work is done here

[@NightSky360]

Very nicely shot. Dissolving from one area of the stage to another makes it easy to watch. Thanks for taking the time in doing this right. I saw this show when it was still at Disneyland back in the early 70's. The last act was different and was geared more toward 60's stuff.

[@tecite204]

I love this attraction.. I can visualize myself in Torrowland ...

[@ru42]

It's a great big beautiful tomorrow

[@Brandoview]

They got a flatscreen in there now in the last scene

[@tylerisnot510]

that's awesome man

[@KansasKing99]

NapalmicAcid Now if only they could update the animatronics' clothes in the last scene...

[@Brandoview]

Kansas King #99 Yes the clothing plus the actual technology, which is never going to happen. The laptops and stove and such is just so outdated!

[@KansasKing99]

NapalmicAcid Yeah, and the stuff they already updated in the Christmas scene was when they changed James' striped shirt in the early 2000's. They also changed Patricia's hairstyle a teensy bit. Also John's shirt was changed later in the 2000's and other things were changed.

[@Brandoview]

Kansas King #99 Yeah. I really think it needs a complete makeover but that won't be happening. I understand keeping it original but really?

[@MissDisneyUSA]

OMG me & my whole family loved this ride so lovely too see the changes over the times wicked! cant wait to go back :-)

[@tigger31086]

For some reason I find it interesting that the daughter's hair started out blonde when she was young, then it went brown when she grew up a bit, and then back to blonde! Don't ask me why I find that amusing. I'm just easily amused!

[@frankydman]

Thanks for filming this RU42, i may have only rode this once, in 2005, but it is still a great ride. My dad insisted that we see this ride, because my dad saw the original show at the world's fair. Also, "great big beautiful tommarow" is one of my favorite disney songs, next to "One Little Spark."

[@soggyjason]

This is an interesting attraction. From what I can tell, if you went on it as a kid you loved it then and love it now. If you never saw it until you were an adult, you'll think it's outdated and boring. It is in need of an update (at least the most recent set is) again but it's still a classic!

[@wizzwamf]

ive never been to any of the disney parks , so these videos are great to see , im amazed at disneys use of the animatronic figures there so clever and amazingly lifelike,of course im sure the odd glitch will occur as i think all the soundtrack animates every blink of eye to dimming of a light , thank you for this

[@ladyjane63]

Thank you for posting this! One of my all time Disney World Favorites!

[@Tybolt1]

I was just there, and tried to film it not half as good as yours. Thanks So Much for doing a Great job. I love this ride and there is never a wait, saw it 3 times last week.

[@snowsbeau]

I saw this on my first visit to Disneyland in 1969. I hated when it closed at Disneyland. I went to WDW in 2004 and saw this THREE times! I still love it. What a treat! Now this is FUN!!

This is the best video of this attraction that I've ever seen. Excellent job!

I love this show! Thanks for putting this up, I haven't seen this in years. Now I want to go!

The ride premiered at the 1964 World's Fair. From there it was moved to Disneyland. It then went to WDW in the early 70's for the new Magic Kingdom. At Disneyland there was a replacemetn ride called America Sings. After that closed the building reopened with the current Innoventions. - - RU
