Happy 65th birthday to Disneyland's Alice in Wonderland dark ride, which opened on June 14, 1958! To celebrate, I have this special complete soundtrack, featuring Isolated versions of each and every audio track, from my observations. This classic dark ride takes guests past several characters and scenes from Walt Disney's 1951 animated classic. This original version mostly lasted until September 1982, when it closed for about a year and a half during a major refurbishment. Before 1983, there were some similar scenes, but they all looked and sounded quite different, with more plywood cutouts and audio from the 1951 film. There was a couple scenes (Upside Down and Oversized Rooms) that have been replaced since 1983. There were also a few pieces of dialogue in each room by Alice's original voice actor, Kalthlyn Beaumont, which were used exclusively in this version of the ride. The full original area music was a 90 second version of the 1951 film's Opening Credits song. I have this music twice, at the beginning and the end of this video. All of the façade pictures were taken between 1958-66, while most or all interior ones were as well. I think there was at least one minor change to the audio in the mid 60's, being the removal of the instrumentals of Twas Brillng in the Tulgey Wood room, as these were present in the 1958 DisneyChris audio mix. Each track from each room is presented. After the dark Rabbit Hole, the Upside Down Room featured Alice's dialogue, the White Rabbits Horn, a clock, fireplace, and an abbreviated version of the White Rabbits song I'm Late. The Oversized room was relatively simple, with Alice's dialogue and the Cheshire Cats looping laughter. The Golden Afternoon featured dialogue, the titular song (This version's longest interior track at over a minute), and the roaring dandelion, who would pop up from below the floor in this version. The Tulgey Wood featured dialogue, sounds of Wonderland Bird Cage, Horn Ducks, Crickets, and Cheshire Cats song of Twas Brillng. The Unbirthday Party featured the titular song, as well as dialogue for Alice, Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse. The last scene took guests past a stylized explosion, signs like those in the film and current Tulgey Wood, and lastly four crash doors that each had their own scream by Goofy. This was created by Claude Coats as a fun way to end this ride with relatively limited space and budget. The ride was still loved by me and many others though, and is still to this day 65 years later. I hope you enjoy this special complete soundtrack of the original Alice in Wonderland!
