Does anyone out there have a recording of the original preshow for the WDW MISSION TO MARS?? The show was called "The MAD MARS MYTH" and featured many scenes taken directly from "Mars And Beyond" Ward Kimbal produced TV show. I'm currious as to who did the narration, what kinda music played there.....Disneyland's MISSION TO MARS didn't feature this show........the wait/holding area was far too small...and for a number of years featured models from Douglass Aircraft archives.
Also what was the MONSANTO preshows like for the 1971 and the 1976 America The Beautiful circle-vision,
or Magic Carpet 'Round the World 1974 ??? These guest holding areas were so large.they must have had something for the waiting masses. The Disneyland Circle-vision preshows were always rather elaborate.
Any info out there??
Also..The WDW GRAN PRIX RACEWAY.......i recall........in the late 70's as a kid.....there being a big deal od sound efx that didn't or don't seem to play anymore........like when those little 7hp motorcars wpold turn corners there was the sound s of BIG formula racecar engines coming from nearby speakers.....(to sound like our little cars were making the noises!!)also on some starit-aways there would be tranmission change sounds and speed aceleration sounds... AND when we would board the cars a recorded voice over (with a gradstand mega speaker sound FX.like the depot calls of the DL and WDW RR) would call out "Driver's to the cars!!!!!!"
Anyway, it seemd to make the whole attraction seem pretty exciting even though as a kid ya knew it was all recording engines sounds......I recall the cars also being dispathed in racing "packs" and a castmember waving a big checkered flag as the countdown lights went off.......
Man! back in the 70's you could spend the WHOLE day at WDW's Tomorrowland and not get board! LOL.
