Sound from the World of Sid & Marty Krofft

Rare audio clips from recently uncovered tapes. The tapes had been rescued during the salvage of the World of Sid & Marty Krofft back in the late 70s following its spectacular failure. Read more about the park and these tapes on my blog at http://timewarptv.blogspot.com/

Are the two Little People those twins who used to do a late night get rich on real estate informercial?

[WookieCookie]

@XrayAgent They are the Rice Twins or the Rice Brothers is you Wikipedia them... John died in 2005 from complications of a broken leg.

01:55, is that a young Geraldo Rivera?

[WookieCookie]

@usa02 - I believe that's Tony Orlando, who was reported to have attended the grand opening event, along with Kate Smith (1:25) and Peggy Flemming (1:12).

@WookieCookie That WAS Geraoldo Rivera

[WookieCookie]

@sccatluvr After a closer look I think you're right, although I'm not sure what he was doing there. At this time he was working for ABC news doing a late night show. I did read that Tony Orlando was present at the grand opening party as well. Just assumed it was him.

Should I be worried that, while listening to this, I kept thinking to myself various ideas on how someone could use this audio for some purpose today?

[Somnambulistiq]

what kind of synthesizer did they use to make this track

[jasonhalliday72]

at :35 I think that's the crazy man who jumped down the escalator and almost knocked us over. I remember the top hat! And is that Chevy Chase behind him?

[whitewitchoz]

I wished I could have been there.Time magazine had a full page articale about the park in 76. Wow that was some tripped out spooky music...kinda makes me think of Electric woman and Dyna girl...it fills you with suspense as the plot thickens.

i worked in the world for the short time it was open, thanks for this vid!

I love this very much, but the last song and the pics that go with it freaks me the bloody hell out.

I wanted to go to this place so bad back then that I couldn't hardly stand it! Sad thing is,it closed down before I was able to go there,and I never got to.Now CNN has all of the floors that this awesome indoor amusement park was on.But I did ice skate on the now defunct ice rink a few times.Plus in this same building in Atlanta,Burt Reynolds had a bar/club upstairs and we hung out there some.it was called,Burt's Place.This used to be the Omni Hotel,next to the old Omni,now Phillips Arena.
