- America Sings was an attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, USA, from 1974 to 1988. It featured a cast of audio-animatronics animals that entertained the audience by singing songs from various periods in America's musical history, often in a humorous fashion.
edited and improved footage enjoy best version on TH-cam guaranteed.
This was my Grandma's favorite ride. When she remembered this ride she started to burst into tears because she would ride it all the time. It was sad to see my Nana cry. She has a special bond with Disneyland because thats where she went for her honeymoon and this year we took my grandparents and my entire family to Disneyland for their 60th wedding anniversary. So my grandparents have been married since Disneyland has opened, so my grandma has a special bond with the park. Sorry this was so long but if you reached the end of this comment thank you.
Aww, that's so sweet! Bless her 😞✊
Very NICE and touching story.....2 thumbs up!
@@joejr.michaels1731 thank you :)
@@missmeganh8443 Your grandma was married since Disney opened? Damn, that’s epic!
@@disbarat yeah!!!!!
I wish they still had this ride. Never been on it but I want them to bring it back. I wrote a letter to Disney Imagineering and they replied saying ''We love your idea of bringing a extinct attraction back to the park but we can't take ideas outside the company.'' They were really nice about it. Hopefully they are working on it right now.
do you know what happened on that ride?!
+Fire Hawk Gaming oh oops, I thought u said something else. Yes of course I know what happened on that ride but that doesn't mean it will happen again. It was a worker who made a mistake. It is impossible to die on the ride if u r sitting in your seat like u r supposed to do.
Some one died on the ride that's why it closed
The ride was great it is a shame that happened
Actually, the ride went on for many years after the accident and the buildings walls were modified to break away, so it wouldn't happen again. It closed from lack of riders and there was a plan for a new show not related to America Sings but they shelved the idea after gutting the ride for Splash Mountain and Star Tours.
It’s weird to think that this show was the last thing that poor girl heard when she was being crushed. Rest In Peace.
Negan Lanciani It’s so sad... 😔💔 (What’s also sad and very sick is that there’s sick people out there who think there were recordings from the show the day she got crushed and they could hear her screaming during one of the songs on the ride. (Which, as far as I know, that day when it happened was never recorded. ) It’s sick and disgusting how people would even want to hear something like that and make FAKE sick videos of the show, adding a fake stock used scream in there wanting you to think it’s Debbie screaming. (It’s VERY sick, sad, gross, and very disrespectful of people making those very sick in the head types of videos about her like that revolving around her tragic accident just for their own sick amusement just trying to get attention and views.
@@princesspeachfan100Rip Debbie
Rest in peace America Sings. Sad to say the Carousel building is not what it used to be since April 10, 1988.
Bradley Taylor Yes RIP for the ride and the characters were moved to Splash Mountain and this changed Bear Country to Critter Country.
ISE D- Expect Sam & Ollie who's animatronic's were turned into Br'er Fox and Br'er Rabbit.
it changed a lot over the years which is sad
Bradley Taylor yes but a girl was killed
@@keatonthekoopatroopa246 brer fox and brer fox... umm its brer rabbit
One of the few rides with a celebrity voice -- Mr. Burl Ives.
Splash Mountain had Jess Harnell as Brer Rabbit, he’s one of my favorite voice actors.
I was a cast member in 1988 when it closed and I rode it the last week of its existence -- I remember crying at the end when they played Auld Lang Syne as I remembered back to the first time I rode in in 1976 aged 10 for a special field trip DL had for local grade schools to see "patriotic" attractions for the US Bicentennial; it was also my first exposure to barbershop quartet singing which I did in high-school.
I also have memories of seeing Carousel of Progress before it was America Sings. I can remember waling up into the last state to exit up the moving ramp to see the model of the city of the future. That's why there's a second level to the building -- to move exiting crowds along another path to keep the loading area open.
Most people don't know this about the real first version of Yankee Doodle dandy, it was about a boy running through a America camp during the American revolution and him being scared and amazed and running home telling his parents about it
This deserves a lot more views - best recording of America Sings that I've found!
Why would you take out such an incredible ride? I mean, yes, someone did die in it, but THATS NOT EVEN THE REASON IT CLOSED DOWN! such a charming ride, wasted. I would love the see a revamped version of this, with better animatronics and stuff. The ride was like a classic Disney movie YOU could experience. Disney really REALLY succeeded here, and the feels and the music and the characters and everything about it... just beautiful in my opinion. Just another wonderful attraction Disney tore down to replace with a singing snowman and a cowboy doll.
America Sings was torn out, not down. After around a decade of sitting empty, it was turned into Innoventions, and is currently a Star Wars exhibit. So WTF is this about Olaf and Woody? Most everything dealing with Pixar is at DCA. There’s the Buzz Lightyear ride on the other side of Tomorrowland, and in 1996 there was a Toy Story Funhouse next to Space Mountain, but unless you’re talking about some temporary exhibit in Innoventions, you’re just making that up.
14 years of operation, doesn't fit in tomorrowland, was outdated after bicentennial. Almost all animatronics are at splash mountain... so idk what you're talking about. It wasn't really a disney classic either
I missed The Carousel Of Progress
This was and will always be my favorite attraction. I remember going on it since the first year it was opened. I liked it better than Bear Country Jamboree. It’s the attraction I miss the most. I think the main reason I like Splash Mountain is due to the fact that I recognize most of the characters there from here. It brings back happy memories. Unfortunately, I think their days maybe numbered since they are over 40 years old and I have a feeling DL will be modeling the Splash Mountain characters the same as the ones in the WDW Splash Mountain.
Sadly, those 40-year-old animatronics will lose their jobs because of "the princess and the frog"
Glad these characters got to be in Splash Mountain
The ride did not close due to the death, it closed due to the fact that the ride wasn't getting as much attention as it used to
Furry man
@@legoislandstuff8773 nobody knows how she died
Conner's gaming channel of fun I mean for good, yeah it did shut down for two days but after that the ride just want as popular sadly
Sharptalon 3000 I know this is a fucked theory but I feel like her death made it popular
@@legoislandstuff8773 she was crushed to death between the Stationary wall and rotating wall. SO it was closed for a while to to prevent the same accident from occurring they installed breakaway walls so the walls could never close on people
I bet this was magic to see live. Im so happy i could see it here though
it WAS an amazing experience live. The part that stands out most in mind is the incredible surround sound of the gospel choir on "Down by the Riverside" and "Joy to the World". I would ride the ride just hear that. :) But all of it was very well presented.
This ride was great, but RIP to Debbie
Rest in peace America Sings! It's been 30 years since you last performed. Sadly the space America Sings used to be in is wasted badly. Disney could do better than having a Star Wars meet and agree area.
You say Rest In Peace to a goddamn ride and not Deborah Stone? She died a gruesome death while the ride was moving.. she was found splattered and dismembered..
@@comradedyatlov4143 d9 you even know her?
Ground Zero
Are you an idiot? He can say he missed a ride. Anyways, almost every Disney ride had someone die.
Disney could do better in a lot of areas nowadays. They've become more obsessed with properties they didn't even originally own than with their own creations.
the owl can barely open his mouth!
One of the best attractions Disney ever did. The idea to help tell America's story through its music was BRILLIANT, and the choice and performances of American popular songs were outstanding. I'm thinking that it might be hard for young people to appreciate: Popular music today is so tuneless and transient.
Burl Ives was perfectly cast as Sam the Eagle. And the Richard Nixon-esque voice of the Vulture Undertaker is hilarious.
I watched this show as a kid, I really miss it 💖
I wish there was america sings in disney world
Wow in the Video was a SCREAM!😱
So I knew that dIsney reused a lot of these animatronics for splash mountain, but I didnt realized how many until now.
I think it was said that this attraction had the most animatronics ever used.
Wonder what will happen to them now
Raquel T.D probably stuffed in storage :/
I counted up to 65 but I could have overcounted some keep in mind that i didnt count the frogs mice and baby rabbits and about half of act 4
This attraction would have been a good fit for Opryland.
I realized today that the fourth goose @2:13 is still singing and the other geese turn to look at him, but he's not there. Awkward. 😂
posthumorously that’s because he’s in star tours now, living life as a droid. Hope he’s happy.
He was sent to a galaxy far far away.
I wish they'd bring the attraction back and put it somewhere else.
They wouldn’t because a tragedy happened there, Debbie Stone was the victim.
How about the splash mountain animatronics? When this ride closed, Disney reused the animatronics in this ride for splash. What are they going to do, make replica animatronics?
It was closed cause it wasn’t getting much attention.
But the geese are in splash mountain.
@@KeaneJ123 It was closed temporarily after the accident to take proper precautions break away walls were installed to prevent the same accident from occurring
@@number1robloxfan12yearsago4 Not just the geese like 90 Percent of the animotronics from America sings were reused and re programmed for splash mountain.
I TOTALLY remember riding it and singing along to it and clapping... in my little pigtailed hair!!! awww bummer!!! these were the best rides!!! This, the Tiki Room, the Abraham lincoln thing.... are those still there?? I want so badly to take my now 21-year-old son there, of course in childhood but especially now, but it's SO EXPENSIVE!!!! Disneyland was my happy place... I'm sure many others but I STILL remember the scent of Disneyland plastic on their things in the Mainstreet gift shop!!!! just the smell of it... I HAVE to go into Disney stores when I can find them, just for that smell!!! OH AND ITS A SMALL WORLD!!!!! I could sit on just go around and around and around on that one!!!! even today at like 50. Anyone remember or know if Bear country jamboree is still there with Big Al??? I LOVED HIM!!!! my sister had a huge stuffed version of him!!! OH, THE MEMORIES!!!
Tiki Birds, Abraham Lincoln and Small World are still there, sadly the Country Bears Closed In 2001 and Winnie the Pooh opened on its place in 2003.
Hi wenderll
Hi wendell
Fun fact: almost all of the animatronics in 4:45 were repurposed and placed in the finale of Splash Mountain.
A fox is missing, and I don't think it's also going on a space tour with the 2 missing geese
Did anyoen ele notice the pre zootopia cameo of nick and judy riding the push cart? Ir was that just me?
Winter Robinson no its the easter bunny and Santa Claus
Thank you for uploading this. This is intriguing.
MY Nana's Favorite ride is it's a small world
This was really charming
Still wish they would bring it back, or even make an update version featuring from where it left off, till today
i miss this ride...
WOW... impressive!
I can't believe she faded out of life listening to this show
Friend, that was a terrible and sad fact, but it can happen to anyone, for example: right now you can have a cardiac arrest watching this video
@3:38 My mom loved this part the best! She always joked "I can relate! ".We saw this attraction quite a few times when we went to Disneyland! So sorry to hear about Deborah Gail Stone💖💖💖!
if my memory is accurate it was the quartet of geese that imagineers turned into 3 and the one they took became a droid in "Star Tours" correct?
Only in the Southern and Western Scenes, you can see them gone here. The geese were turned into G-Droids in Star Tours.
Yep! Also the western quartet is now a trio!
fun fact: Two of the geese turned into droids for Star Wars and the first part of their name has a G for goose.
For Dixie Land I'll take my stand
For some reason reminds me of Bioshock Infinite
Because the theme and feel of Bioshock Infinite is based off stuff like this
Josh McLendon Bioshock Infinite, a smart game for smart gamers.
Thegreatercheese yuo
A User I can’t agree more
It's all the Americana imagery.
I love how everyone in the theatre was clapping along!
So cute !
Como una atraccion tan inocente puede causar una muerte asi
I only saw this show once and that was in 1987 and it was awesome it's too bad that it closed down.
"Yankee Doodle always says the past is just the start. Tomorrow we’ll bring songs to you that come straight from the heart."
Or come from the corrupted Hollywood music industry who sometimes forget what actual music songs like.
but it was beautiful
Most people don't know this about the real first version of Yankee Doodle dandy, it was about a boy running through a America camp during the American revolution and him being scared and amazed and running home telling his parents about it
My favorite attraction BESIDES Carousel of Progress
Edit: I never rode this, just love the way it looks and the soundtrack
jaylen:I give it a 10 out of 10
Now that they are re theming splash mountain they can bring back America sings
I am mad at disney for replacing splash mountain but what you said about bringing back america sings since its splash closed, they should do that to make up for taking away splash mountain
THE ANIMATION OF THE ANOMOTRONICS IS PERECT
Everybody hope they reopen this attraction
Now that they are re theming splash mountain they can now bring back the animatronics and bring back America sings
I hope so too! I’ve been thinking of building a miniature version if they don’t though!
This ride was originally the GE Carousel of Progress. It opened in 1967, and closed in 1973 for this. 2 years later, it opened at Magic Kingdom in Florida, with some changes. It had originated at the 1964 New York World's Fair.
2:22 ok how do you play the banjo that fast
List all the songs in order that america sings sang from 1974 to 1988.
i can just hear deborah’s bones...
Bruh, that's f*cked up
When she got crushed to death her whole entire body got crushed and it’s tragic and hard to believe that she was just 2 years older than me.
6:32 judy hopps and nick wilde
*so Disney reused this character into protagonist for they own movie?-*
@@chimichangas3200 *yes*
high quality
OMG. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT DEBBIE STONE. THE SCREAM WAS FAKE. IT WAS ADDED TO THE VIDEO. THIS VIDEO DOES NOT HAVE IT. THIS VIDEO IS HERE FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY THE SHOW. GOD DAMN.
esla verda que existe esto
At least the animatronics were brought to splash mountain
Now splash mountain is getting a new make over and theme they can bring these animatronics back and bring back America sings
@@briancalifornia1 no, not happening, they can still use some animatronics
@@ItzAdrian02 Disney will probably auction off most of them and probably some in the Disney archive museum. I realized these animatronics are passed their prime and tend to break a lot. You got to remember these animatronics are nearly 50 years old.
@@briancalifornia1 yes they do get taken out for fixing but they are all still functional and work fine and somewhat fluent
No their not all their,I don’t see Sam or the owl
Nadie se a dado cuenta que son los mismos animatronicos que utilizan en Splash mountain?
Nadie se a dado cuenta que esos mismos animatronicos perderán su empleo por 2da vez?
They should have added Over There
I'm actually surprised that they had Dixie in there. I guess Disney wasn't so PC back then.
Do remember not but 20 or so years prior they made uncle toms cabin.
Yellow Rose it was a good song and was popular and many people song it and made by the people during years before civil war and during it in the south and Yellow rose Texas is also a good song, I noticed you name
Yellow Rose The original recording for the song "who shot a hole in my sombrero" was done in a Mexican accent. They deemed it too offensive at the time (surprisingly) and in the show, it was redone in a Texas accent, However, you can still hear the original recording on its soundtrack.
What about the Union Version?
@@user-sd7qo7qe4v they used the dixie verison
You got that from Extinct Attractions Club
Si hacen la película de esta atracción todos nos animaremos un poco.
How much of the past do we not know?!
This ride scares me because there was a cast member who was crush between the walls in this ride
Don’t worry, they added safety features so no one else would get decapitated
This was one of my favorites...this video brings back so many good memories...thanks for posting
Hawhooo shawt ah howle en mah sombrerooooh
Hello darkness my old friend
AHHHHHHHHhhhhhh
I want to go to America sings :(
America sings is not hear
You can still go on splash mountain, which I hope is not rethemed.
are'nt some of these characters from splash mountain?
Yes, many were recycled for Disneyland's Splash Mountain.
+utubeviewer971 omg that's so creepy
+utubeviewer971 a cast member on that ride was crushed by the moving walls
+Emma. Jemma it wasn't a cast member it was just a Disney employee.
Natalie Lapetina That's what Disney calls all of their theme park employees.
How the hell did you get the footage?! 😀 Old memories.
He actually took it from another video it's not his
@@ScottishNature It was on a disc of Extinct Rides, I think, so he could have got it from there and said it was the best. I still agree with that, of course.
He took it from another video but I’ll tell u how, camera footage existed back in the 1900s that’s how
It's called Cameras and camcorders which have been around forever
Studio C Cappa
4:01 whats that awww
Debbie stone died on this ride
*I know :,(*
she was a hostess and an employee of Disneyland
How did you make the quality so high?
You should modify the video to give credit to the original video owners. That would be a major courtesy.
The very first scene of America Sings is the Early South period which is rather bayou orientated.
The part that makes me feel most awkward after learning about the beginning of the popular song culture in America was that the oldest popular songs that can be tracked are songs that were written for blackface minstrels...
Okaayyyy 😑
Their watching me when I walk into splash moutain
its funny how someone just went up and took a goose and thought no one would notice.
*two geese
11:44 nothing says "family entertainment" more than public intoxication
Nothing says the 1970-80’s when times were different 🤔
No se que hago aca.....pero esto me da un mido que me cago..
I wonder what will happen to all these rehomed animatronics in Splash Mountain now that The Princess and the Frog rethemeing is in the works
I mean they can maybe reuse some of them like the ducks and the frogs. They obviously have to get rid of Brer Rabbit and them though sadly
Disney will retire them maybe some will be on display at Disneys archive museum or maybe some auctioned off.
12:43 this fox's singing voice sounds like a girl's singing voice
Country Bear Jamboree?
Your not right
That thing had nuttin to do with Tomorrowland. if such a thing were resurrected it should be in Main Street USA, not Tomorrowland
The music was amazing why would they get rid of this 😭😭😭😭😭
Why does the building go completely dark? Is it for a special effect???
So sad that this is been closed...
What this caused? Dabbie's death? Or the animatronic or they abandoned this?
dark forest There was at least three possible reasons it closed.
The attraction was in Tomorrowland and didn’t fit the theme, America’s bi centennial (the event America Sings was built for) had long passed, the attraction was starting to become outdated and, Splash mountain needed animatronics and most of the ones in America sings fit the theme (since America sings and song of the south had the same artist for concept art).
Debbie’s death had nothing to do with the ride closure. It was time to go for the attraction.
@@rosesske2551 exactly
yo the fox and bunny looks like they ones from zootopia ( I probably spelt that wrong)
ikr
pushing the cart
I think that's where Disney found inspiration lol
@@CaitCher no thats brer rabbit and brer fox from song of the south
I'm here for Deborah 😭😥
When did she scream ????
William Silene
She didn’t
@@user-sd7qo7qe4v it's because there was no footage of her death it was all hidden
@@naimahsallen6583 it wasn’t hidden. No one would recorded it
I saw a shorter clip of this video where the lights turned of and the scream of deborah stone
Dcmd Wolf x wait what? When? Where? How!?
The ride was closed when Debbi died...
Harry Watts
It closed years after her gruesome death
Liar
ItzAdrian
Are you calling me a liar?
Wow que miedo :"v
ahi se murio una empleada
What do the swamp boys sing
It's the polly wolly doodle
I wish they brought this ride back I've never been on it but also I have a question why do they have to black out the theaters when they rotate can't they just leave the lights on like on the carousel of progress so no cast members get crushed again
You can’t really see it, but there’s like disco ball lighting as it turns. It’s sort of a “we’re traveling through time now” effect.
Srry demonic presence

Oh hell no
14:10 they were going bottom of the barrel here from out.
I still don't understand why they don't build a new version of this in Liberty Street...
Because they already have the caurasuel of progress they would have to build another carousel theater which would be a waste.
I feel like it would fit better in the America pavilion in EPCOT
