Page a day!!! :D

I recall being on the magic skyway and the car I was in had a rear speaker. At the time I was only four years old. When the sound came on, I got frightened and jumped into my mother's lap.

I Love The Dinosaurs! Is The Universe Of Energy Still Around?

[AdrenalineAddict610]

Yes, it is, just slightly updated.

[Jal8919536]

The dinosaurs from this attraction were later reassembled in the Universe of Energy attraction in EPCOT, most noticably the T-Rex and the stegosaurus.

[clarkviola]

most were put into the the prime evil world diagram on the disneyland railraod, the ones in epcot are copies of the orginal

[crazycris29]

@Jal8919536 That is not true. The dinosaurs , its a small world and Mr Lincoln and the Carasoul of progress were all moved back to Disneyland in CA. The dinosaurs, to this day, are in the primeval world tunnel on the railroad that circles the park. Epcot's dinosaurs are copies of these and were made based on the originals here. Its a small world remains in DIsneyland to this day. They did move a Carasoul of Progress to WDW's Magic Kingdom after a run at Disneyland

Superb!!

did they used some dinosaur in this ride for UOE

[TheFabsLV]

I just looked that up out of curiousity because they used pretty much the same creatures/sets at the World's Fair that had been in place at Disneyland since the late 1950s (and are still there).

They duplicated everything for the World's Fair and moved them to Walt Disney World later.

cool ride

[krusher1977]

Was the Ford Magic Skyway ride on the same track that the Disney train now runs on?

[TheFabsLV]

No... The trains run on train tracks. If you look at the video at 8:59, you'll see... The system used spinning tires to propel the cars - similar to the former People Mover at Disneyland.

[krusher1977]

Thanks, the mystery is solved.

[jfs78]

I remember this ride so well.....Amazing it is now so long ago! Thank you for putting this on...I have not seen images of this for over 40 years.

[disneyfan85]

Is that Paul Frees narrating?

[disneyfan85]

That is, before Walt Disney takes over as narrator?

[Rosetheribtickler]

This is wonderful! Thank you for it.

More, please!
