Departure from Frontierland

To those who have just joined us, welcome aboard the Disneyland Railroad. Please stay seated while the train is moving, with your hands and arms inside, and no smoking, please.

We're now entering Splash Mountain, where every day is one of those, "Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah" Days. If you look real hard, you might just find your laughin' place. (721kb.wav :34sec

Bear Country and Settler's Cabin

Emerging from the tunnel, we are now in Bear Country on the edge of the wilderness. Bear Country has Trading Posts, places to eat, and the wildest show in the wilderness, The Country Bear Jamboree.

Now, we're heading into the true backwoods. Watch for Indians and wild animals near the water's edge.
This is the American West as it was a century ago. Our forefathers who tamed this great wilderness faced constant danger. And there across the river is proof - a settler's cabin afire! The old pioneer lies nearby, the victim of an Indian arrow! (1,151kb.wav:53sec)

Bear Country and Settler's Cabin *

Emerging from the tunnel, we come upon Bear Country at the edge of the wilderness. In Bear Country you'll find Trading Posts, eating places, and the wildest show in the wilderness, The Country Bear Jamboree, starring Big Al and that Swingin' Teddi Barra! If you haven't seen this lively group, well you haven't explored the whole frontier. In fact, you've bear-ly got started!

Now, we're heading into the true backwoods. Watch for Indians and wild animals at the water's edge.
This is the American West as it was a century ago. Our forefathers who tamed this great wilderness faced the challenge of clearing the new land. And there - across the river -a settler's cabin afire! The old pioneer lies nearby, a victim of… <"Please remain seated!">…the wild frontier! (1,187kb.wav:55sec)
During this journey, the Conductor chose to interrupt the description of the cause of the Old Pioneer's demise.

Critter Country

This is Critter Country, where a talented troupe of stage-struck bears star in the Country Bear Vacation Hoe-down.

We're now traveling along the banks of The Rivers of America into the true backwoods.

Frontierland's Open Spaces

Walt Disney often said, "Disneyland will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world", and here in Frontierland, there are still wide open spaces for imagination to conquer.

Across the open meadow, you can see part of the colorful Living Desert and "Old Unfaithful" Geyser in Nature's Wonderland. (532kb.wav:24sec)

Frontierland's Open Spaces*

Across the open grass meadow you can see part of the colorful Living Desert and Old Unfaithful geyser in Nature's Wonderland.

Walt Disney once said, "Disneyland will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world", and here in Frontierland there are still wide open spaces for imagination to conquer someday. *

And speaking of Frontierland, the Old West wasn't easy to conquer without that old "Iron Horse", the steam locomotive, and steam engines just like these trains, brought the country a little closer together. (778kb.wav:36sec)

Behind The Festival of Fools Arena

[Live Conductor:] Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Welcome aboard the Disneyland Railroad.
Very shortly, we're going to be pulling into our next stop, Mickey's Toontown. Until that time, we ask you to stay seated at all times, and remain seated until we come to a full and complete stop at Mickey's Toontown.
Mickey's Toontown is your gateway to Fantasyland, it's a small world holiday, and Matterhorn Bobsleds. Unfortunately, at the moment, Toontown is closed because we have our holiday fireworks coming up at 7:20. You want to be sure to check those out...and remember, it rains... >ack< ...it snows (!) every evening here at Disneyland during the holidays. You can check those out at small world Mall, Main Street, and in Frontierland.
Once again, our next stop is Mickey's Toontown. Thanks for joining us on the Railroad. We hope you have a magical evening here at Disneyland. (1,680kb.wav1:10sec

Through Fantasyland

As we emerge from the tunnel, you can see the highest point in Disneyland, the Matterhorn, towering high above the Happiest Kingdom of them all, Fantasyland. This is the realm of Snow White, Peter Pan, Alice In Wonderland, and many other famous characters from Walt Disney film classics.

In just a few moments, we'll be riding past the enchanting home of it's a small world, Walt Disney's salute to children everywhere. The boats you will see carry guests along the seven seaways on the happiest cruise that ever sailed; a visit to a fantasy kingdom, where the children of the world sing and dance for your enjoyment. From our train, you can see the boats sailing past the topiary garden, where trees and shrubs grow in the shapes of animals. (kb.wav:54sec)

Tomorrowland Transportation

Disneyland has pioneered many innovations in entertainment, even in transportation. The concrete Highway In The Sky you see here, carries the trains of tomorrow's mass transit system, the Disneyland-Alweg Monorail. Our silent, electric-powered monorail trains travel high above the Magic Kingdom on a scenic journey that begins in Tomorrowland, and takes you to and from the Disneyland Hotel.

Just ahead, running parallel to our train, is the Autopia Freeway, and winding above Autopia, you may see the PeopleMover, another new form of transportation introduced for the first time right here in Tomorrowland.

The WedWay PeopleMover System may someday carry you around airports, and shopping centers, and even across downtowns in our cities.

Tomorrowland on the Move

We're crossing into Tomorrowland, a land where everything is on the move. If you look overhead, you might catch a glimpse of a Mark V Monorail. When Disneyland introduced the Monorail back in 1959, it was the first daily operating Monorail system in the Western Hemisphere. Today's Monorail trains glide along a two-and-a-half-mile route, traveling to the Disneyland Hotel and back.

Winding below is the Autopia, where drivers of all ages can take to the road...and no license is required.
And if you've ever dreamed about seeing what lies beyond the stars, Space Mountain and Star Tours offer thrilling trips into the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
Yes, it all seems pretty amazing, but if there's one thing we've learned, it's that here in Tomorrowland, everything is possible. (continued)

Arrival at Tomorrowland

If you'll be leaving us here, please remain seated until the train comes to a complete stop.
This is Tomorrowland. (1,509kb.wav 1:10sec)

Departure from Tomorrowland

Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain seated while the train is in motion, keep your hands and arms inside the car, and no smoking please!

Now, we're about to enter the world's largest diorama, The Grand Canyon and The Primeval World. First, we'll be traveling through the Grand Canyon as it is today. All the animals, trees, and birds you will see are typical of those actually found in the Grand Canyon. Our train will then carry you back millions of years in time, back to a day when huge dinosaurs wandered over the land, and ruled the swamps and marshes of the fantastic Primeval World.

And now, the Grand Canyon. (1,058kb.wav:49sec)

Between the Dioramas

That's the spectacular Grand Canyon as we know it today, but it wasn't always that way. In fact, millions of years ago, warm primeval seas covered the region we call the Grand Canyon. Strange creatures crawled from the seas and one day giant animals thundered over the land and roamed the swamps and marshes. Our ancestors never heard the sounds we're about to hear, nor saw the sights of this fantastic Primeval World! (657kb.wav:30sec)

This version of the Railroad spiel was recorded in February 1976, prior to the debut of the wacky Bicentennial version, and refers to the upcoming Big Thunder Railroad.

Walt Disney once said, "Disneyland will never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world", and here in Frontierland, imagination may soon go to work again. Disney designers are planning to replace the old Mine Train attraction one day, with an exciting new adventure...Big Thunder Railroad.

And speaking of Frontierland, the Old West wasn't easy to conquer without "The Iron Horse", the steam locomotive, and steam trains just like these brought our nation a little closer together. (5,974kb.wav:68sec)
