- This is the Carousel Of Progress as it was in 1986. It held the ride America Sings, which I think was awesome and needs to come back. But I want the Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow thing to still be there too.
By the way I write books as well and please check them out on Amazon.com at the link below:

Okay let's drop the scary death thing and just enjoy the fact that someone preserved this ride for the awesomeness that is!
Agreed.
I only watch Videos of America Sings to appreciate the amazing ride it was.
On my channel the rule is we don't talk about the scary death thing
It was shocking since you’d think no one would ever die in a place like this.
@@gabbyvillarreal1062 rumor is it's happened several times and they've gotten really good at covering it up. But we have a rule on my channel that we don't talk about scary deaths, we focus on the good
What a lovely ride I really wish it could have still been running, I never got to experience it. And now that splash is gone I really hope these animatronics dont get scrapped or reused for parts, it would be a pipedream but it would be great if they revived america sings with them or something similar
They would probably do it with that new movie in ride technology like Pirates Of The Caribbean and Alice In Wonderland. It just wouldn't be the same, but if they could do, yes I would love them to. They could open up some forgotten part of the park near Pooh Corner and put it there. And technically Splash Mountain is just getting re-themed, unless you know something Provost Park Pass and I don't know.
It turns 50 this June! I really wish it came back
I wish it would come back even if they threw it in California Adventure.
@@tinarash7772 Genuienly it's such an amazing and advanced show. I don't want any of that modern trash, they can update the finale if they want to something more modern but maybe they will do something for it's 50th but seeing how woke disney is woke they aren't.
@@FrappeInsider We can hope and pray for it to come back, but I'm sure it won't be the same. They'll probably screw it up by putting strictly Disney songs like Hi Ho Hi Ho, Part Of Your World, Let It Go, and that one from Mulan that starts Let's get down to business, to defeat the huns
@@tinarash7772 That's exactly what they did to country bears over in florida
What a phenomenal show, I absolutely wish for this to come back. I love these characters so much! They are some of Disney’s finest works!
Yes, I would love for it to come back! I also think that it might be good as a ride laid out like Alice In Wonderland or Peterpan where you go from scene to scene.
@@tinarash7772 I went to America Sings in 1985 in my sister Trixie's birthday, my sister was turning 7 years old and she and I we go there with my parents, my uncle Max, my aunt Marie, my cousins Steve and Raymond and my late paternal grandfather Thomas (1917-2004), we have fun on Disneyland and we sang happy birthday to my sister and of course, we enjoy America Sings, now my sister is 45 and I am 48
can't believe, this was nearly over 30 years ago..
And video quality has totally improved! I was seven when this video was recorded so it's over 30 years.
Also let me just say I’m impressed on how life like the animatronics are for this attraction opening in 1974
I think that's part of the charm. I want to take this video and put it next to my Minecraft version and play them together as a video for CZcams
Out of curiousity, no offence, why animal characters? Wouldnt humans work as good?
@@tsitracommunications2884 IDK, maybe, but maybe animals had more room for mechanical parts.
Maybe Mr. Lincoln was too complicated to work.
You notice that the only people autoanimatronics are Abraham Lincoln and Mission to Mars and the Indian greeting us on the river. .......and It's A Small World. But animal animatronics are everywhere.
Well the Mission To Mars people look life like and they've been there a loooonnnnnggggg time.
@@tinarash7772 there were a lot of human AAs in tpotc, thm, iasw an tjc
That same whole thing can be said for me too. I love America Sings.
I wish it would come back to Disneyland or get shoved into California adventure, but with no chance of anyone getting hurt. They could make it more like Alice In Wonderland where you go from scene to scene.
Hey Tina, would we be able to use clips from this in a video on our channel? We'd definitely give you credit on screen for any footage used. Let us know! :)
Yes
Hi TPM
Hello, TPMvids!
It's...
*YOU.*
💘
This looked incredible! I wasn't born until 1995, but this looks way better than any of the modern attractions Disney makes today! I wish I could've been able to see this in person!
You can see the start of the Minecraft version on my channel.
I was hoping that they would come up with like a photo booth sized D-Box VR thing so people could experience Disneyland rides without being in Disneyland. They could even pipe in smells.
ah yes america sings this was my childhood i hope it returns someday
Oh my gosh, me too! It was one of my favorites. Sometimes I'll just start singing "Who shot that hole in my sombrero"
America Sings wasn’t just closed because of.. the incident.. it was closed because Disney thought that America Sings was not meant to be in tomorrow land and that the celebration it was built for was already over.
I don't think that's true. It would have done great if they'd moved it somewhere else. If it had been somewhere on Main Street or over by Tom Sawyer's Island or even in Bear Country, it would have done great! It was a great ride, but the same idiots who think Pretty Woman was put out by Disney and think Star Wars and Super Heroes are new Disney creations thought this ride sucked and was old and got rid of it just like so many other great things Disneyland has had in the past. Although I kind of agree with Big Thunder Mountain not being a Mule ride anymore.
Also the Audio-Animatronics were needed for Splash Mountain which was running way over budget at the time.
Hear, hear. Tomorrowland is of the future, and america sings didnt fit the futuristic theme. Frontierland is where it should had belonged then. Bad mistake, Disney
@@tinarash7772 it’s cause it wasn’t popular enough to keep it running after 14 years
@@tsitracommunications2884 it’s only cause they had to use the carousel of progress buliding
2:00 this part is my favourite
I like all the parts! I'm glad you like that one!
I wonder how it didn't occur to anyone to remove “America Sings” as soon as the U.S. bicentennial celebration was over and continued until 1988.
I don't know. I just know it got added before I went in 1986 and got taken out before we went in 1989
America sings last day was April 10 1988
So good that i saw it the week of April 06, 1986
This may have actually been in 1987. One of the barbershop quartet geese was removed in two scenes to be used as repair droids in the queue area of Star Tours which opened 1988. You can notice something's missing when the goofy bass voiced goose sings but the other three aren't.
I went to Disneyland for my first time April 6th 1986. This is part of the video from that trip. It was taken on what I call a Danny Tanner (Full House) on the shoulder camera. We also went in 1989, 1992, and it was gone by the time I went in 2000.
@@tinarash7772 You must have just visited after their removal then. Most accounts have it in 1987 but 1986 isn't out of the question. America Sings closed on April 10, 1988.
Actually it’s one of the southern geese
@@lohphat It now lives forever in Minecraft Disneyland in my Xbox.
@@lohphat actually the geese from act 1 and 2 were removed in late 1985, this was taken a year later, there are videos, two of which that show all four geese together in 1985, but the other video was also taken in 1985 which shows the two geese gone so it just might be that they were removed some time in 1985
I love watching this from time to time, what a great video! Who’s your favorite animatronic/animatronics from this? Mine are The Swamp Boys (hence my pfp lol)
I have several favorites. I love the horse/mule singing "i'm an old grey hen!" "She aint what she used to be"
I love the piano playing pig.
I love "who shot that hole in my sombrero, who put that bullet in my hat"
I love the motorcycle birds at the end
I love the bird in the guilded cage singing ra ra ra boom de a
The possom mom singing that she wishes she was a singkng girl again
The pop goes tug he weasel gopher....
@@tinarash7772 oh yeah, there’s a lot of good ones! I hope that most of them get kept for the Retheme of Splash Mountain but I don’t think that’ll be possible :(
Probably won't work. I hear the revamp will be Princess and the Frog
@@tinarash7772 yeah I’m hoping though the gators and frogs (maybe the rabbits and possum) have a chance
Hope so too!
The America Sings attraction open to day 2022 would have been excellent 👌
Yeah, it would be excellent! Only they'd have to update it to have more kinds of music.
I built it in Minecraft and came up with a way to keep the ride from having to be a carousel.
You know Tina, I just realized and thought of these attractions, they were probably the best parts of Disneyland and how this was the top age where Disneyland had about 5 Animatronic Shows that were crowd pleasing and still at the top of the game. I think Michael Eisner was smart to think about what needed to go and that's understandable, but to have every show fired from the park was wrong, and I always think Marc Davis would still keep all these shows if he didn't die in 2000.
Walt Disney would be or is turning in his grave about what they're doing to Disneyland! Do you know that you have to have reservations to get in, reservations to eat, and last I heard half the park is being renovated
Sabían que la que hacía del pájaro negro murio porque tenia que pasar por dos paredes síviles y la aplastaron justo en el momento que se escucho el grito ese mismo grito era de la chica de 18 años grito por el dolor y murió todos los invitados creyeron que era parte del espectaculo
¿Osea Que Estaba Dentro O Que?
No habla espanol
@@BaryonyxLouder yea but in 1974
I had what you posted translated in Google Translator. We do not talk about Debbie and the terrible agony she faced! See the ride for what it is please. It was awesome! It was wonderful! My video preserves that. My video also keep those songs alive. We don't sing them anymore, but they are here for everyone to enjoy.
3:00
The swamps boys
8:23
What about the Swamp Boys?
I noticed the hat at act 2 in the geese singing is the missing goose G-4…. Tribute to the missing
I'm building it in Minecraft. It's turning out pretty good.
A another happy ending
Yes!
What disco ball? from what part? and I think Dad was mostly focused on whoever was singing so if there was a disco ball he may not have gotten it.
So Tina, your dad was recording this? Were you there with him too? It seems like most videos kids want to record are taken by their dads, kind of a common thing for young ones I guess. I've never wondered what these old camcorders were recorded on, a VHS Tape, or maybe Memory Card?
@@Laserashton yeah my dad recorded it. I was probably right next to him on the right or right next to him on the left. It was recorded onto a VHS tape.
It was my first time at Disneyland and i was seven.
During stage transitions, when the theater rotated, the theater would go nearly pitch black. There would be a white kaleidoscope of swirling stars that would be projected onto the stage curtains and into the audience like a disco ball to hide the theater movement. It's probably just too dark to see the stars effect on video.
Yeah too dark to see disco stars.
The eagle sounds like Burl Ives
Yeah kinda
Headmaster Hastings it is burl Ives
@@schemer1991 thanks! a quick google search confirmed this for me too. disney released an album to go along with the ride that cites Burl Ives as the lead singer. czcams.com/video/xE4Vuo6cnfo/video.html
@@schemer1991 Really?! I love Burl Ives when he's Sam the snowman on Rudoplh The Red Nosed Reindeer.
@@tinarash7772yeah It is him just type in America sings Disney and click the Wikipedia page it will have the actors names
Did they change the dog’s voice at 7:29? I remember it sounding completely different.
It might sound a bit different because it was recorded onto video tape in April 1986 and put on DVD a few years ago (not sure when). If it's anything like my recordings from 2000, the sound deteriorated. But this sounds like i've always heard it.
Disney changed the voice
I love 💖
Gyf&f d dxdxrc
You love the whole thing?
I remember seeing this in 1975. It was originally the "Carousel of Progress" that was re-themed for America's bicentennial celebration. I bet I watched it 3 or 4 times. They should bring it back and rename "Tomorrowland" Retro-land. Kids today ncould use a huge shot of patriotism!
I was thinking critter country as all the characters are played by animals. Yes they should bring it back. I used to love that! I had so much fun trying to guess where the weasel was going to pop out next.
I wasn't born in 1975. I almost wish I could have seen Disneyland before.
How did it feel when the building rotated?
Smooth
It was slow & smooth. You may not see it, but the lights were turned off and a star field was displayed on the stage & audience as you moved. Sometimes you could catch a peek at the crowd next door, but everything was in the dark.
@@CrashPreinsertion all i saw was dark between the scenes and i never saw the other audiences.
I remember it feeling more like a bleacher. It didn't feel like it was rotating at all.
Hopefully they return it to the future
Yeah, I was thinking they could put it in Critter Country. I built Disneyland in Minecraft and I put Splash Mountain(orignial), then Country Bear Jamboree, and then America Sings. I think I put Pooh Corner next and then Star Wars Land/Batoo
Yeah, in Minecraft Disneyland it goes Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain(original), Country Bear Jamboree, America Sings, Pooh Corner, and Star Wars Land/Batoo. There in one big line with practically nothing on the other side of the walk way..... yet.
Was it the stage or the people rotating?
People rotated. Martins Videos Disney has a good video of how it works + history.
so was the disco ball on the ceiling still working by this point and just too dark to show up or was it broken?
There was no disco ball…
Plus how would there be a ball if the rotating wall would break it off?
@@SlushysSecret
He's probably talking about how during stage transitions when the room darkened, there were swirling stars projected onto the stage and the audience like they were from a disco ball. The effect was just too dim to be caught on video.
@@newguy90 Ik, some videos might show it if you brighten the video enough
@@SlushysSecret I don't know how to brighten it. But I'm worried that if I did it might take some of the magic away.

Does anyone else miss the two geese that got removed from the attraction like it feels so weird to go from just 3 geese in the first 2 acts yo just randomly 4
Huh? I don't get it. But I remember what's here, because the last time I saw this ride was 1986
@@tinarash7772 well u know how there is only 3 geese in acts 1 and 2 well that’s because Disney removed 2 geese from the attraction one night and re-purposed them into Star tours. The 2 geese that were removed are now droids to this day
@@khhartman4445 okay, i didn't know that. But wouldn't this video still have them since this is 1986 and Star Tours didn't make it's debut until 89 or later?..........checks internet........it claims 1987
@@tinarash7772 well yeah but the geese got turned into robots that are in the que for the ride so that’s why they were removed in 1986
@@khhartman4445 they were actually removed somewhere in 1985, and where put at the bottom of the building until star tours was ready, but yea it fells strange they aren't there anymore, but I guess they expected the guest to just think they got another geese in the group
It use to be carousel of progress.
yep and now its world of tomorrow or something housed in the Carousel of Progress.
I only rode it once. And boy, do i miss it. Bad move, Disney
@@tsitracommunications2884 unfortunately it was getting low guests and considering at the time disney world was the next new disney park they decided to move it which even though it seems like a bad decision it was actually smart, the only bad decision was making the theater a ride that was nothing related to Tomorrowland (maybe an alien type show would've worked)
@@SlushysSecret Ill buy that last fact
Welllllllll
welllllllll, what?
I hope they stay after splash gets replaced
I hope so too, but I doubt it. Where would they fit? Well unless they bring Yesterland into being.
Debbi 🌷💙
We don't talk about that on here. We just see the right for the awesome thing that it was and hope it will come back someday.
I sent a letter to Disney imagineering to bring it back and they replied saying they can't accept ideas from outside the company but they love my idea. I sent a new letter to them asking why haven't they brought it back since it closed? I haven't gotten a reply yet so I'll update u when I get it
Thank you! I'm building My Disneyland in Minecraft. It will have all the rides that I remember them having. So it will be seen. Maybe others will remember it and they'll add it somewhere.
Tina Rash that's so cool! Lol, I also built America sings in Minecraft too😂
I built Pirates of the Caribbean, most of Fantasy land with Skyway, parts of Tomorrowland, and Main Street in Minecraft. And thanks to mine carts you can 'ride' the rides. But i'm probably going to build it in Xbox One Minecraft, because it's a big plot of land. I plan to do a CZcams tour of My Disneyland soon-ish.
Well, almost all of the characters are in Splash Mountain.
Unfortunately
Did the Sombrero dog and the Home in the Range Dog get to Splash Mountain?
I don't remember, but I'll ask people who may know the answer and let you know. I know the black birds that sing "Billy's dead and gone and we ain't none the sadder" are the ones warning you to not go to the laughing place in splash mountain. And the mama bunnies and kids are there too.
Sombrero Dog didn’t. Home on the range dog is on the showboat on the finale.

What about the Old Gray Mare?

Is this disneyland or disneyworld
Disneyland early April 1986 the week containing the 6th
O grito é editado(caso Stone)
??????? There is no scream, unless it's a crying baby. I have a video with a crying baby in the background for a bit. Either this one or Country Bear Jamboree. This is before the tragedy in early April of 1986 (the week containing April 06, 1986). I've set the rule that we don't talk about the tragic loss of the young lady. We only watch the video and see all the great characters singing songs that I love because these characters sang them. For some reason, I really like "Who shot that hole in my sombrero, who put that bullet in my hat, who shot that hole in my sombrero, who'd do a terrible thing like that...."
🇺🇸😀😀😀🤗🤗🤗
Down in front
Huh? I don't remember anybody standing up. If you're saying we should have been closer to the scenes, maybe. But I think this way you see the whole experience. Besides it was a big Danny Tanner (from Full House----Fifth[?] episode First Day Of School) on the shoulder camcorder. It would have gotten in everyone's view.
Music was cut at 2:00
Well it all has sound and that's the way we captured it from 1986.
I just checked on my computer and phone. The sound fades out at 2:00 but starts right back up again. That attraction/ride did that. It plays the one song pauses and continues.
No it cuts out cause the audio cuts out when they pop up
to be honest, i really want tokyo disneyland to build this, they got more room btw
They wouldn’t, if you don’t believe me type up “Debbie Stone” on CZcams.
They actually considered shipping America Sings to Tokyo. However, an attraction based on celebrating America’s music wouldn’t fit in Japan so they didn’t do it.
I think it could live in Epcot.
@Garbage Guy that's only because it was in tomorrow land, they definitely had the opportunity to move the ride to epcot, still it wouldn't be outdated in epcot
@Garbage Guy and rightly so
Apart from the death I really like this ride though it creeps me out a bit and I wasn't even born at this time I quite like it !lol
I'm glad you like it!
Why the dark when science changes
So you can't see the inner workings of mechanisms?
I only think about Debbie Stone
Try to not think about it and see the ride for the awesome it is. We don't talk about that other part here.

@@tinarash7772 yeah, whoever did this part as the stork deserves a raise!
@@TheAnchorArmsChad Yes, definitely!
Something wrong happend at 17:38they put the song of the gay 90s
Huh? They were singing Yankee Doodle, faded to black, and "Yankee Doodle always said the past is just a start tomorrow will bring songs to you that come straight from the heart", more, and Auld Lang zign (spelled wrong btw). Anyway I don't see the problem. Please explain.
That’s the audio
If the stage sound is not strong enough the other stage music will be in the stage your on for a few seconds
L can can dance
You like the can can dance?
You remember one of Disneyland's employee Debbie Stone's death.
Was she the one that died on America Sings? We don't talk about that on here, because then that's all anybody talks about and the fun Disneyland ride with the great old music gets ignored.
They say she stepped back at a scene change and the wall got her if that's what your wondering.

way better then splash moutain
I like them both, but yes, America Sings more.
America Signs was closed because worker Debbie Stone being crushed by walls then died.
Yeah, I knew that America Sings was closed for that reason, unfortunately. I loved that ride. If only they could have made it safer for workers and riders.
That's not true. The Debbie Stone tragedy took place just a year after it opened. It ran for another 13 years after that and closed because unfortunately by that point the attraction was dated and they made the decision to recycle the figures to make Splash Mountain.
Is it possible that it closed for both reasons? And why couldn't they just lengthen it or something and add newer songs?
No that is incorrect the Debbie Stone tragedy took place on July 8, 1974 just before 11:00pm which is less than 2 weeks after the America Sings attraction originally opened. The Debbie Stone tragedy had absolutely nothing to do with the closure of America Sings on April 10, 1988 in which America Sings ran for a total of 14 years. America Sings closed because the audio animatronic characters from America Sings were needed to build Splash Mountain because it was too expensive for Disney to develop brand new audio animatronic characters for Splash Mountain due to the fact that the project for Splash Mountain went far over budget. It was also closed because when Disneyland opens a new attraction they close an old attraction to keep operating costs down.
So maybe it took that long for it to go through the courts and stuff
