Carousel of Progress
Disneyland Attraction, This is a poster for Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress
, an attraction that has a long and storied history in Disney theme parks. The poster advertises the show with the tagline "FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS... TO THE POSSIBLE PRESENT," and it is presented by General Electric (GE).
The attraction was originally created by Walt Disney as "Progressland" for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. It was then moved to Disneyland's Tomorrowland in 1967 and renamed the "Carousel of Progress," where it ran until 1973. Due to dwindling audiences, GE asked Disney to move the show to the new Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. It opened there in 1975 and has been updated several times over the years.
The show is an audio-animatronic stage performance in a rotating theater that follows an American family through four different time periods, showcasing the evolution of technology and how it has changed their lives. The show's theme song, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow," was written by the Sherman Brothers. It holds the record as the longest-running stage show in the history of American theater.
