Cool video about GE's Carousel of Progress. GE isn't mentioned as a sponsor because Kodak and RCA, who sponsored Walt Disney's show, also had exhibits at the Fair and didn't want to give GE free publicity.
*VaultDisney has a another part from this episode. On his channel you can find the video that showcases Ford's Magic Skyway.

Man, I love that dog... ^_^ One time I actually got stuck on the CoP for about an hour- got stuck in the late '50s, if memory serves. I still love it, no matter what! I love this ride, and I LOVE this man!!

I first saw the C of P at Disneyland in 1965. That was also the era of the "Hall of Presidents" and a year or so later, "Pirates of the Caribbean". These audioanimatronics were fascinating to a 12 year old kid back then and I sat through at least two "performances" during every visit to DL - lived in Costa Mesa back then. "National Geographic" did a spread on Disney's robots back then, as well.

Great documentary footage here. The man in the harness seen programming the Audio-Animatronics is Wathel Rogers, who was inducted as a Disney Legend in 1995.

Of all the things I knew about Audio-Animatronics, I never knew the control harness went that far back. Talk about ahead of it's time.

They should really update the "modern day" part of the carousal. I think they can change the set without having to rerecord any dialogue. (Mostly because all of the voice actors are either retired or dead) But I think all they have to do replace the technology with more modern stuff. Like giving them a 3d television while playing motion capture xbox. I don't know, I'm just worried, because I heard rumors that they plan on shutting this thing down. I hope not. I heard this was Walt Disney's favorite ride :)

I agree but I think they should jump the first scene to 1930 second scene 1960 third set the late 1980s fourth set the year 2000, The exit set where you exit the doors should be turned into present day. Make each cut scenes longer so that people have 2 minutes to exit the theater and 2 minutes 30 sends to Re Enter the attraction. I am getting pissed at Disney for failing to take care of the carousel of progress. This ride could be way more entertaining the 80s scene show the slow dial up connection to the internet. And bye the present day show off computers with broadband. Add XBOX ONE WITH KINNECT. And please change the theme back to the Now is the Time Version for the love of god. We have Refrigerator's with TV's built into them. We have 3D TV.s and smart phones . And still revolve this scene as New Years. And for the year 2000 make it the Christmas Scene.

He's also memorialized as a tombstone at the Haunted Mansion, something like... "Here lies Wathel R. Bender, he rode to glory on a fender." I am really loving all your Disney videos, I've been browsing them all morning while doing some research on Walt and the parks.

@zooooooperdooooooper Actually, that is true at least, according to his documentary on 'A Secret Life'- though he did it all with the best intentions. If he lived nowadays, I'm sure his views would not be so terrible.

Analog tapes. This was done a year or two before they found walt had cancer... All the programing for the motion capture was done to analog computer tapes.

Well, for one, you don't have pay or feed an animatronic. Second you don't have to worry about people showing up on time to perform whatever attraction they're in.

I am the inventer of synthetic humans. The bones I used are plastic . The muscles I used are plant fibers. My stem cell research is plants . Fiber optics for veins of stimulants of energy Powered by an attomic battery that just keeps going. Metals don't adapt to well.. Plastics allowed fibers to grow around with grafting. Plant muscle stronger the human..

I've been on this invetive ride a time or two in those days and sometimes, it would stall and you'd wait awhile and keep seeing the animatronics continue to move as you watched so sometimes you could have more time to see the Disney detail. I like when it first started to move and shift your body as it slowed to a stop and you could feel the carousel move beneath your feet, amazing ! I'm glad it still exists if not in it's original place these days. Thanks for the memories !

Wonderful video! I was one millions of lucky ones who experienced the CoP dozens of times at Disneyland... Back when Tomorrowland was the best place in the park and full of science and ingenuity for the future. Thanks for sharing!

@RetepElegean They should still do that. Disney Channel I feel is falling apart. It is supposed to be a happy magical atmosphere full of shows like these. I can't even believe the shows that are on today.

I got to see this when i was at disney world i loved it! If Walt Disney hadn't smoked cigarettes, imagine how much more time he would have had to improve the world.

And to think... at Disneyland, this brilliant piece of imagineering was replaced by America Sings, then... Innoventions. Tragic. WDW was so lucky to get it!
