Why did the Ride Close?

World of Motion closed due to the high demand of thrill rides in the park. This caused the development and opening of Test Track.

This ride is believed to be the sequel to 1964's Worlds Fair ride "Ford's Magic Skyway."

The theme song for Carousel of Progress, "There's a Great Big Beautiful of Tomorrow," could be heard in the 1920's scene and its predecessor.

The famous Walt Disney quote, "If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It," wasn't said by Walt but came from Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald.

Two prop vehicles from the attraction could be seen at the defunct Studio Tram Tour at Walt Disney Studios in Paris.
