Disneyland history

Disneyland was made in 1955 with only 18 attractions 14 of them are still around today. Like the jungle cruise, the mad tea party, mr toad wild ride, and autopia which was called jr autopia. Which was only for kids. The rides that they don't have anymore that we're there on opening day was Conestoga wagons, the Mickey Mouse club theater and rocket to the moon where it would simulate a flight to the moon. Then 9 years later the New York worlds fair came and disney made three new attractions. Great moments with mr Lincoln were you would sit in a room and listen to an animatronic Lincoln quote Abraham Lincolns famous quotes, it's a small world were you would sit in a boat and go around the world, and the carousel of progress which is were you go through progress starting from when automobile were first invented. Great moments with mr Lincoln and it's a small world are still around but carousel of progress isn't it only survived for 6 years after the New York worlds fair and then closed. 1972 disney opened a new land called bear country with the newest attraction the country bear jamboree which is were you would listen to 17 animatronic bears sing country music. In 1986 it closed and turned into the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Then in 1974 taking place of the carousel of progress disney made America sings starring burl Ives it was a show that went through all of Americas music starting with Yankee Doodle.after that closed the rotating theater didn't have anything for 10 years and bear country was turned into critter country with a new ride splash mountain which used America sings animatronics. Back to America sings 9 days after it opened one of the employees got to close to the rotating walls and got crushed between them. The ride closed for 2 days to add sensors that way it wouldn't happen again.
