Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress -- Through a rotating carousel theater, this attraction carries seated guests into the homes of four generations of the same family from the days before electricity to the present day.
After a brief introduction, your theater rotates to reveal Act I, set around Valentine's Day around the turn of the century. After our host, John, tells the audience about the current state of modern conveniences -- all pre-electricity -- the theme music, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow," plays as the theater rotates again. Act II brings us to the 1920s, and we see the family preparing for the Fourth of July celebration. The father shows off all the new electric powered conveniences, including the vacuum, electric lights, oven, and refrigerator (subsequently blowing all the fuses out in the neighborhood). Among the many other inventions spotlighted, we also see the son, Jimmy, listening to radio, on which we hear a John Philip Sousa march, and we hear about "air cooling", a fan blowing over a block of ice.
In Act III, the John of the 1940s tells us that he's entered the "Rat Race" by commuting to work, and we see the benefits of his new refrigerator and, most importantly, indoor plumbing. The theater turns one more time to reveal Act IV, with the family celebrating Christmas on the eve of the new century. The family's automated oven manages to burn the Christmas turkey to a crisp and the show concludes with a final rotation into the Finale, from which the audience is dismissed.

For a mere $1.25 you can ride on Salem Oregon’s Riverfront Carousel as you listen to the lively authentic carousel band organ. Choose your mount-- 32 hand-carved, hand-painted horses with names like Ruby Rose, Snickerdoodle, Razzle-Dazzle, and Cloud Walker are as beautiful and elaborate as the steeds themselves! Local artisans volunteered more than 80,000 hours to carve, sand, and paint the horses, and their workmanship truly shines in the exquisite detail and vivid colors.

We went to EK ( Enchanted Kingdom) only to know that they are closing in an hour but my kids persisted so we bit the bullet, bought the tickets and stayed for an hour.
