Changes

===Move to Walt Disney World (1975)===

Although the Carousel of Progress did eventually make its way to the Magic Kingdom, this was not always the plan. In early 1970, Disney had planned on building a "carousel theater" on the location that would eventually become the Circle-Vision 360 Theater <ref name= "Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?p=812 </ref>. When this did not come to fruition, the carousel theater was eventually moved to the space next to a scaled down [[Space Mountain]].

Meanwhile, in the early 1970's the attendance of the Carousel of Progress in Disneyland began to dwindle. General Electric decided that it was not getting enough advertising from the attraction. Their research also showed that 80% of the people who saw the Carousel of Progress were from California and that most had seen the attraction numerous times. After getting this information, General Electric asked Disney to move the attraction to the newly opened Walt Disney World. Disney agreed, and on September 9, 1973 they closed the Carousel and moved it to Florida <ref name= "Korkis2"> http://www.mouseplanet.com/9818/A_Carousel_of_Progress_Christmas </ref>. At this time, the Progress City model was also moved with the show (a portion of the original model it is now housed above [[Stitch's Great Escape!]] and can be seen on the [[Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover]]).
