America Sings Part 2

Well it has been some time since we talked about America Sings. If you remember where I last left you I was about to discuss the downfall of this attraction.  The ride and show of America Sings went on peacefully after its opening until 1986 when two of the geese were put into Star Tours. It continued on without these two until early 1988 when the attraction was closed so that the audio animotronics could be used for the upcoming Splash Mountain. Here is part 2 of the video.

History of America Sings Part 1

Most people do not know this, but I am one of the most knowledagable persons in the world on the extinct Disneyland ride/show America Sings. America Sings opened in the theater that had previously housed the Carrousel of Progress. The Carrousel of Progress opened in the New York's World Fair of 1964. It was later moved to Disneyland where it was later moved to WDW to become a new attraction and can still be seen there. Shortly after it was removed in 1973 America Sings opened on June 29, 1974. two weeks after it opened a young lady working the ride as killed when she accidentally walked into a part of the ride that crushed her between the walls. After this incident Disney installed breakaway walls that would break if someone got stuck in the same area. Beyond that this attraction boasted over 115 audio-animotronics the most ever for any Disney or other theme park ride in my knowledge. The first part of the ride showcases some of the extreme talent of Marc Davis the designer of the ride. This first half showcases the journeys of the Americans in the adventures from the deep South onwards toward the West.What happened to this wonderful attraction? Well that is a story for next week. For now enjoy the first half of this ride.

What's up with Waldo

Hello,

Mr. Waldram is bald. I know I have the option on the poll bellow I can not see it Mr. Waldram's baldness is blinding me, okay I know that answer is funny but Waldram really is balding. For anyone just coming across this blog here is a pic of Waldram:


I guess you could use that for a Halloween mask and scare some of your friends, but please remeber he is a little bit balder now as this was taken over three years ago.
