Attraction News: 1/28/2002
The Carousel of Progress has been in real trouble in the past few years. High operational costs and low attendance have been the cause of rumors regarding its possible closure for several years. Now it seems the events of September 11th and its negative effects on Walt Disney World's attendance may bring down the curtain on the Carousel for the final time, according to Screamscape. It has been operating on and off for months now. It closed shortly after the terrorist attacks, then reopened for the busy holiday season. Shortly after the holiday rush ended though, the attraction closed once more on January 6. The Walt Disney World website lists Carousel of Progress as down for seasonal maintainance, but no one really knows for sure whether or not it will ever reopen. More news as it becomes available.

7/8/2002
The CoP has unexpectedly reopened for the busy summer season, but this surely won't last very long. Hurry on down if you can to check it out one last time.

Trivia:
The 21st Century scene includes all the latest in technology, with virtual reality and voice controlled lights and electricity.
There are also smaller rotating carousels on the stage that contain scenes of family members in other rooms. Each scene had to be perfectly timed for the theaters and smaller carousels to move at the correct time.

Astro Orbiter
This revolving elevated ride is the landmark of Tomorrowland and the first ride you see as you enter from Main Street. It stands at 50 feet tall on top of Rockettower Plaza, which also houses the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. Guests must ride an elevator to the top level of the Plaza where they then board one of several Buck Rogers style rockets and are launched high above the ground. They fly high above the park for 2 minutes, narrowly missing spiralling planets flying around the lighted tower.

Trivia:
The old version of this attraction was called Star Jets and looked more like today's space shuttles than a futuristic dream.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
This brand-new attraction combines a thrilling ride through space with Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story with the latest in laser shooting ranges. First you wind through an indoor queue themed with oversized batteries, while listening to a futuristic version of "You've Got a Friend in Me". Right before you board the ride, a life-size Audio-Animatronic Buzz Lightyear briefs you on your mission with the help of a huge Viewmaster (Remember those little toys shaped like binoculars with the paper discs?). While spinning through space in your trusty XP-38 Space Cruiser, you must destroy the evil Emperor Zurg who plans to take over the universe! Each passenger's score is kept so you can compete against your friends.

Trivia:
Ok, try to follow me here. This ride is based on the TV show "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command". This is the fictitious show that Andy's Buzz Lightyear doll in Toy Story comes from.
The ride in this building has gone through several reincarnations, the latest of which was Take Flight! which took you through the history of air travel and gave you a look into its future.

The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter
This is arguably the scariest ride in all of the World, if not the world. Not to mention my FAVORITE ride in the MK! In this ride, X-S Tech, a company that has made the first ever teleportation device, plans a demonstration for citizens of earth to witness the first interplanetary transport using their new product, the Teletransporter. In the pre-show, you witness the cuddly yellow alien, Skippy, transport across the room! But S.I.R., the sinister robot that operates the controls, soon vaporizes the slightly frazzled fellow in mid-air. You then move into the main theater, where all of the seats are arranged around the main glass tube. At the edges of the room, there are several monitors which show you the preparations going on at X-S Tech. One lucky audience volunteer is going to be transported to the home planet of X-S Tech to meet the CEO, Chairman Clench. But as soon as the choice is made, there is a change of plans, and Clench decides to beam to Earth. There is a mix up on some planet between here and there, though, and before you know it, you are face to face with a gruesome 15 foot alien. And you know that he's not too happy about it when you feel his breath on the back of your neck....

Trivia:
Listen closely or you'll miss the best parts of the presentation. As you move through a hall into the main theater, the PA announces something like, "For the safety of our guests here at X-S Tech, we ask that you please move into the main exhibition room.....NOW." Also, for comic relief during the alien invasion, there is a recorded voice that pops up every now and then. One example is when the alien first appears and people are screaming, "It's an ALIEN!!", the little voice goes, "It's my MOTHER-IN-LAW!!"

Tomorrowland Speedway
Disney's answer to Daytona! Aspiring Jeffs, Terrys, and Dales can speed through this twisting road track at speeds of up to (Get ready for this...) 7, yes, 7 miles per hour! These sporty cars are much like real racers, but only cost around $6,000 each. The race lasts five minutes (If only they could all!). (Just kidding, all you race fans)

Trivia:
These cars have the body design of the Chevy Corvette Stingray of the early 70's. (Thanks for the info, Michael and Dad!)
11/17/99: BIG NEWS! This attraction is going through a major facelift to become a miniature replica of an Indy Car speedway. This is a follow-up to the Walt Disney World Speedway built last year south of Magic Kingdom. Pylon towers, banners, and sound effects will be added to complete the image of Indy racing.
1/2/2šoš: Follow-Up -- Hmm, maybe that wasn't such big news. Hardly anything changed here, except for the name. The cars were exactly the same, save for a few racing stickers, and the track layout wasn't altered at all. The only noticeable difference was a tall pylon tower that gives imaginary racing times, only visible from the queue & loading area.

Space Mountain
Do I even need to give an introduction? This is a classic Disney ride, not to mention one of the most popular in Walt Disney World. This thriller races at speeds of up to 28 mph, but since it is in the total dark, your sense of motion is increased, and you feel you are going much faster. Space Mountian draws memories of fear, excitement, and long lines! Well, I'm glad to announce, this problem was helped a great deal when Alien Encounter arrived, giving Tomorrowland a second major thrill ride which nearly cuts the line in half! ::And a great sigh of relief was heard throughout the land...:: Notice I said helped, not fixed. If you want to get on this ride without waiting more than half an hour, I have one word for you. RUN. Straight here. As soon as you get in the park. Believe me, you'll thank me later. :)

Trivia:
Built in 1975, this was WDW's first thrill ride. Walt dreamed up the idea first of a high-speed, space-age rollercoaster in the dark. It took 10 years of development and 2 years of construction.

The Timekeeper
Now Closed.

Just Kidding: 7/8/2002
This attraction, along with Carousel of Progress, has temporarily reopened for the summer.

A Circle-Vision 360š film with Audio-Animatronics.

Huh?

Ok, it's a big ol' long screen that goes all the way around the room, with talking robots! Timekeeper, a wise-cracking see-through droid (voiced by Robin Williams!), is your host as you travel with Jules Verne on a 20 minute journey around the world, seeing through the eyes of 9-EYE, Timkeeper's nonagonal (So, that's what Geometry vocab was for...) assistant. Her nine eyes represent the 9 screens of the Circle-Vision theater. You will be able to witness young Mozart at one of his first ever concerts, and watch Leonardo Di Vinci create one of his masterpieces.

Trivia:
Listen carefully to every voice. If you do, you will hear Jeremy Irons (Scar in The Lion King) and Rhea Pearlman (Carla in "Cheers"). Christopher Lloyd, Rhea's co-star in "Taxi", also lends his voice to the film as H.G. Wells.
This attraction was originally designed and filmed to go in Disneyland Paris. The french version is called "Le Visionarium", and is an attraction in the Discoveryland area, France's version of Tomorrowland. If you look closely at WDW's film, you'll see that the words sometimes don't match up with the mouthing just right. This is because the characters originally spoke in French; it was only dubbed over in English for it's arrival in the states.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.
::Sigh!:: You knew this was coming. This is the Magic Kingdom's big arcade, or as I like to call it, the Big Pit O' Quarters. Now don't get me wrong, these games are great fun if you have willpower of steel, but they're addictive, and you might walk out feeling like you've been mugged. And, wouldn't you know it, this is where Tomorrowland's most popular attraction, Space Mountain, spits you out. My advice? Cover any kids' eyes (as well as your own)(Well, maybe not...)and make a mad dash for the exit.

Trivia:
This is the most technologically advanced arcade in Central Florida.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority
Take a tour of Tomorowland! This preview of the Magic Kingdom's most recently updated Land gives you good views of all the rides, and actually taking you inside some, such as Space Mountain. Orack I is your computer guide as you move about in these 5 car trains. To board, you must go to the second floor of Rockettower Plaza on board a moving ramp. Then you walk onto a second moving walkway and board the cars moving at the same speed.

Trivia:
The TTA operates on linear induction motors, whcih use electromagnets to pull the small trains along the track. They use very little power, have no moving parts, and emit no pollution.
