I heard they had a cop there directing traffic. The drive thru was backed up for blocks. I see more dairy queens in LI's future.

thats pretty cool I didn't know there was disney rides at the worlds fair . I have no clue what they are , but I am interested to know .

So lets try a little Long Island Disney trivia.

Of course as you know Queens is located on Long Island. The 1963-1964 Worlds fair was held at Flushing meadow park in Queens. Walt Disney built 4 attractions for the fair. Today parts of all four of these attractions are still in use today at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland. I bet your kids wouldn't believe that some of their favorite rides were once located on Long Island.

Questions:

1) NAME THE 4 ATTRACTIONS

2) HOW DO THESE ATTRACTIONS EXIST TODAY?

And remember, NO GOOOOOOOOOOGLING!!!

My parents told me about this. They said the World's Fair was amazing. And that Walt wanted to build Disney World there but wasn't granted permission to do so.

The only attraction that comes to mind is the Carousel of Progress.

Actually Robert Moses wanted Disney to build a park in the worlds fair site. Walt wanted nothing to do with a park in New York.

Oh my parents were misinformed. I will have to tell them. Thanks!

Got the 2013-2014 Planner today! I think I'm pretty set for 2013 and the beginning of 2014 -- going after Christmas and coming back for a few days to work and OFF to BW AGAIN (all within a week). My sister invited me to go down with her friends for the Marathon...although I could get bumped out for someone who actually runs the marathon but I don't think so.

No answers or new guesses on the Disney Worlds Fair Trivia but curious to know the rides also.

So here are the trivia answers. The 4 Disney attractions at the Worlds Fair in Queens were:

IT'S A SMALL WORLD

GREAT MOMENTS WITH MR.LINCOLN

PROGRESS LAND

THE MAGIC SKYWAY

Its a small world was moved to Disneyland. Progress land was also moved to Disneyland then to Florida. You all know it as the Carousel of progress. Great moments with Mr. Lincoln became the Hall of Presidents. The Dinosaurs from the magic skyway still appear alongside the train tracks of the Disneyland railroad.

You can see all of these yourself in this video. Its a bit long but keep in mind as you watch that this was all filmed on Long Island. Amazing.

I think the World's Fair in Queens is the reason that DH and I got hooked on Disney. We were in 7th and 8th grade when it was there. I went about 6 or 7 times all together during that time. DH went 3 times or maybe 4, so my memories are a little sharper. That, and I am much younger ( 15 months!)
