A channel dedicated to recreating the experiences of the Carousel of Progress.
A Recreation of the 1967-1973 Disneyland Carousel of Progress
The Disneyland Carousel of Progress as you've never seen it before (unless you were alive when it was still there)!
Links to all footage and pictures used in the recreation can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1-VbKc0nW-4DtWE_cyhpY47tCN2pkmrFcwmF_2juVB6I/edit?usp=sharing
Special thanks to @Carousel_Kid, @MrRegalMasquerade, @Memethyst, @WilliamDurvale, and @Boy_of_the_Cones for helping me find pictures and for giving advice on how to edit the audio. Your help allowed this recreation to be possible.

Excellent work
I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see the last act and the post show. I was lucky to frequent Disneyland during these years. I think COP was a free attraction as was Adventure Thru Inner Space. Tomorrowland at that time was compelling and inspiring. I recall walking down Main Street in the morning, towards the hub and the majority of people would make a sharp right into Tomorrowland.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION. in scene 4 the one detail you might miss but takes up most the background..Look out the window, what do you see?....It's EPCOT....no not the theme park built in 1982...the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Mother and Father (of the future) lived in "Progress City"...and think of all the time wasted.....you could've had it by now. a Progress City of your own to live in and I mean where you live right now.
I think we all knew appliances weren't lasting as long. Now the Washington Post had an article that one should expect fridges, dishwashers, dryers etc to last about 5 years.
GE, Monsanto.......what happened to corporate sponsorship and Disney? Not just the rides but Carnation on main street, Chicken of the Sea...?
This really brings back many fond memories as a child. This was my favorite iteration of the Carousel of Progress. Thank you so much for bringing a bit of Disney memories into our homes. Nicely done!
I remember the escalator at the end taking you up to see the model of what I believe they ended up calling "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" or "EPCOT", but it didn't last long, eventually you would just exit toward the back where you come in.
From this to promoting homosexuality, transgenderism and woke... Disney, you suck.
It's insane literally everything is better in this vs current and especially 1980. The intro was miles beyond in conciseness and Disney magic.
The acting in 1980 is much less sincere and on style with this than 1993's update. Sherman brothers did do their best but don't get me started on the intentions behind switching in Now is the Best Time.
Mother is so annoying- im glad they changed her
Such a unique attraction. My favorite part was actually the upstairs portion. I can see why Walt Disney spent his last years trying to create something like that for real. It isn't very practical, but what an amazing idea that spawns so many more ideas!
Cute dog !
I saw some pictures of disneyland from the 60s, and that made me think of the carousel of progress. i still remember going on that ride in the late 1960s, more than 50 years ago with my parents, who have now passed. I loved disneyland, it seemed to glow with wonder, promise, optimism and a better future. Thank you so much for putting this video together. what an amazing look back into my childhood. and thank you to my parents for taking me there.
Best version ever done. Fell in love with COP when I saw it at Christmas time in 67 and still cherish this version to this day.
Now here in 2023 , you can really see the HIDDEN PROPAGANDA PUSH FOR EXEPTENCE OF A COMPANY AS YOUR MASTER FOR YOUR LIVELYHOOD !!!!! TO GET YOU INTO A CENTRALIZED CITY FOR EASIER CONTROL OF THAT PERSON !!!!!!!
I'm uploading this to the Internet Archive in case if Disney is going to take it down.
I remember seeing this back in 1969. It was a ride that made you want to sing along with the tune!! Thank you for the memories!!
It's awesome in the final act, EPCOT can be seen out the window. 😍😍😍😍
So fabulous.
My Mother Grew Up with the Disneyland version and she LOVED IT she still talks about it 2 this day wishes it would return to Disneyland
J have been waiting for someone to do this ..nice job ..this is the best version ... Florida's versions are just painful to watch with it's low quality version... even the 64 67 dated last act was a hundred times better than anything since ...
I just love those giant kaleidoscopic screens it used to have! Does anyone know how they were pulled off (I imagine with some arrangement of spotlights and pieces of glass).
Me too
Great job, thanks for doing this! Does anyone have an explanation of why, in the footage, sometimes he's on a stool, and sometimes behind the table in Act 3? Was there a running change while at Disneyland, or is some of the footage from the Fair or from WDW? edit: I found the answer. Behind the table at the fair, on the stool at Disneyland. :)
12:52 Wait so they did have three kids? That little girl must be from the first scene helping Sarah. WDW's version erased her after that part.
Maybe she was a neighbour
Would anyone out there like to see the Carousel of Progress Upgraded, I really would its time to update every ecene, We should start pff in the 1970s. And start svene one. They could even adertise the carousel in the show on a tv. 2nd Scene 1990s. 2nd scene 2010s 4th Scene 2030s.Or skip each scene 30 years ahead. Now is the Time for a major update, i LOVE THE Now is the Time Carousel of Progress as a kid. And we now are in 2022. There not many people left from 1890. or the 1920s. See this is why a shift needs to take place keep this attraction alive. And there are some people left from the 1940s. But we nned to make a great big beautiful tommorw for the Carousel of progress. And Now is the time to update the Carousel of progress for its 60t Birth Day in 2024. So team up and wright to walt disney world if you would really like to keep this attraction for another 60 years. Abd if you agree to Save The Carousel of Progress.
Very cool to see, I grew up with the GE now is the time version. They need to keep the good old carousel of progress alive another 60 years , Of course it needs updating, But this is one original attraction in DisneyWorld.
I saw this version I saw when I went to Disneyland for grad night in 1968. All of the subsequent versions have gone downhill. To this day it is still my favorite along with Calif Soar'in
I been on the one in Disney World. And the seats move not the stage
The finale is literally a giant ad, glad GE dropped the show to be honest.
That's sponsorship for ya
Excellent Work Getting the Audio Sync Perfect
Almost
Thank you for doing this!
Thanks for sharing. It’s a shame their isn’t a full video of this original ride. They have a great quality video of small world from the worlds fair. That had to be so much fun to see all in person. And man he really doesn’t like the dog lol.
Wow, I didn't know there were any pictures of that great giant color organ during the entrance.
@9:29, it's most likely that "Loulie Jean Norman" sang the background vocalizing in the transition song. She's well known for also being the lady opera singer (wings on helmet) in the Haunted Mansion, and the vocalizer in the intro music for the original 1966 Star Trek series.
This is amazing! I was there in the summer of 1967 as an 11 year old...discovering the all new Tomorrowland! We were just amazed!! And by the way...@3:36 the "outside" background painting was made by Herb Ryman!
Thank you! And thanks for the trivia :D
My Congratulations Excellent Work 1:43 5:34 9:28 13:18 17:17
Disney Land should bring back the Carousel of Progress to Tomorrow Land it be longs there. Like all the other attractions that came back from the New Yorker World Fair. It’s sad to see it it empty.
↑↑↑ I 100% agree! This, Inner Space, and PeopleMover NEVER should have been removed and bringing them back (and fixing Tomorrowland as a whole) should be Disney's #1 priority right now!
Why not make a new version for DLR? I've enjoyed being able to see it every time I'm in WDW
Walt was amazing.
i find it funny how sarah cares about her food mixer in the new version while sarah uses it as the paint mixer in this version
A guy hates his dog: the ride
I was there and lived it back in the day. This was one of the most feel good about life, feel good about yourself, and feel good about the future there was for a young, wide eyed kid in California. This recreation is the closest and best I can find of that memory. Such good vibes and optimism about what the future held for all of us. How sad the reality is of what came to be.
And nowadays, Dad feels good between dancing and going to True Value hardware. LOL
This should have way more views-absolutely fantastic
I was 6 yrs old in 1973. I have a very hazy, vague memory of this great attraction. But since it's Disney quality, it made a lasting impression in my mind. This wonderful production helps fill in the gaps and brings back that warm, magical feeling! Thank you!
This video's goal was to recreate the experience, I'm glad it could fill some memory gaps!
I was 7..was one of the firsdt (post-New Yorkj fair)
Last seen by me in 1973 in Disneyland, & looking forward to my first WDW trip in 2022. My grandma took me to Disneyland every year when I was a kid, and this was def one of her favorite attractions. (The cringey mother stuff was just real felt stuff to her then. That’s history folks.) Almost 50 years later I’d love to see it again in memory of my lovely grandma. Ahhh, nostalgia. But oh it’s not the same at this point, so thx for the vlog, it’s super great to experience the almost past vicariously.
This is great. I attended the Worlds Fair back in 64-65 and this was like being there at the GM Pavallion.
I'm glad I could recreate the experience!
This is so cool!!!
As someone who never got to experience this great attraction, I want to thank you for providing the closest thing I'll ever get to experiencing it in it's original form. So thank you for this wonderful video.
You're very welcome! I created this video for the same reason. I can't go back in time to experience this wonderful attraction, but if I make a video edit of it, well, that'd be about as close as I could get.
To me, Progress City was Walt Disney 's EPCOT.
Nicely done. Reminds me of Disneyland of my youth
