Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress

The Carousel of Progress contains four sequential acts shown in a circular theater that turns clockwise to present different scenes of technological advancement.

The attraction originated at the 1964 New York World's Fair as part of the General Electric Pavilion before moving to Disneyland and later to Magic Kingdom.

Each scene depicts an American family adapting to technological changes across different decades, from early electricity to modern voice-activated home systems.

The 20-minute indoor presentation provides seating for visitors to learn about technological evolution while enjoying air conditioning and audio-animatronic performances.

The Sherman Brothers composed the signature song 'There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow' specifically for this theater production about technological progress.
