Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress is an attraction located in [[Tomorrowland]].
==Attraction History==
The concept for the Carousel of Progress began in the late 1950s. Walt Disney was planning on expanding Main Street USA in Disneyland, and one of the expansions proposed would have been known as Edison Square. The main attraction of this new area was going to be a show hosted by an "electro-magnetic man", named Wilbur K. Watt, who would have chronicled the evolution of electricity in the home, from the late 19th century and beyond. The attraction would have consisted of a number of stationary scenes which progressed through time. After guests had finished watching one of the scenes, they would get up and move to the next one <ref> http://www.mouseplanet.com/9833/A_Visit_to_Edison_Square_1959 </ref>. Although the attraction would have been sponsored by General Electric (GE), technological limitations at the time and time constraints made the show impossible. Thus, the idea for the new attraction and the Edison Square expansion in general never came to fruition.
