I remember going to the NY Worlds Fair and remember CoP (loved it back then), Presidents Hall of Fame, It's a Small World (loved it back then)....was there any others?

They are the only three I can think of. I was a young kid when we went to the world's fair but I still remember some parts of it like It's a Small World and COP. If there are other rides, I hope someone tells us what they are.

I was 8 yrs old and remember going twice. Once was for my birthday and it was the best birthday.

I didn't go in 1964 but I was 11 in 1965 and went about six times with my parents. It was GREAT!!!!

I had just graduated from High School and went to the fair several times. It was an hour bus ride into the city and then a train, but the traveling helped make it exciting.

Carousel of Progress was another Worlds Fair ride, and I do believe it was in NY, but I am basing this on what my parents told me.

I was 6 years old, just out of kindergarten, when we went. I remember Small World and COP. We must not have seen Mr. Lincoln. I remember standing in some line behind two genuine Japanese women in kimonos ..to a 6 year old from Crossville, IL, that was incredibly exotic! To this day, Small World is my favorite ride.

Disney desinged four attractions for the 1964 Worlds Fair;

-The Carousel of Progress (only in WDW)
-It's a small world (In all four MK parks)
-Great moments with Mr. Lindoln(not the HoP, and only in Disneyland)
-and the Ford Magic Skyway(which never made it into a Disney park. Although a few scenes were moved to Disneyland and can still be scene along the Disneyland Railroad during the indoor portions.)


Here is an image of the Ford Magic Skyway.

There is a wonderful tribute to Carousel of Progress at http://www.carouselofprogress.com . Be sure to watch the video, it's got a lot of great information and a history of the attraction.

Enjoy!

I went to the fair both years 64 & 65 when I was 15/16. What a wonderful time. That's where I ate my first Belgian Waffle, yummy, yum, yum.
