no not at all

Mmm... cooking oil....

How much time did you spend on the Railroad?

It makes sense; Disney specifically creates smells to enhance memories.

It’s the smell of burned coal and grease. I too like the smell.

It was closed when I visited back in October 2016. I miss not being there... I want to go back but... might wait a while. :P Still upset and angry they changed the Tower of Terror.

It's open now I went just this last month I always go every month

+Janet Vonnik Ps I did have an awesome time that part just hurt

Ethan Foster Oh , YES . The music is awesome and the mural/diorama has quite a history !

I totally totally insanely agree. Its what made the DLRR special to me... I hope they can bring him back since Splash Mountain is being re-themed and they'll have to record a new loop narration.

yesss

I agree

The voice is Earl Hindman from the show Home Improvement. He sadly passed away in 2003.

The original narrator voice on the train ride is Thurl Ravenscroft, one of the Disneyland Mellowmen and the voice of Tony the Tiger.

This is actually incorrect info that was posted on Wikipedia and sadly now regarded as fact when it is actually false. The narration was actually done by actor Earl Boen, another popular voive actor who did a lot of work for Disney in the '80s-2000s. He is most famous for playing the doctor in the Terminator films.

@@DarthBrtt I revisited Boen to listen, and I can hear the similarity. However, when one takes into consideration Earl Hindman already had a contract with Disney at the time of the recording for this narration it makes sense that Hindman is the voice. As a viewer of "Home Improvements," it is unmistakable to hear Earl Hindman as the narrator

@@WaltsNephew It's funny, because I feel the same way about it being Boen - I can hear similarities that it's Hindeman, but it's unmistakably Boen. Boen actually worked with Disney just as much, if not more than Hindeman though and more recently than Hindeman had after Home Improvement ended in '99. Boen had done voice work since the late 80's for Disney and had done work for them throughout the '90s (Bonkers, Boy Meets World , Empty Nest and numerous others) and all the way up thru 2006 (he was on Buzz Lightyear in 2000 and popped up on Kim Possible from 2002-2006). So it's definitely up for debate I guess. I actually am going to reach out to Mr. Boen and see if he can actually confirm if it was him or not. I'll keep ya posted!

@@WaltsNephew Here's a clip Mr. Boen is in that was right around the same time the railroad narration would have been recorded (2000-2001). It sounds exactly like Boen to me, not just the voice but the way he emphasizes words and the accent. Start at 0:20 seconds in: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8yndbOT2Z-ZpnU.html

@@DarthBrtt Ahhhh ok ok, I see where you're coming from now. Keep me posted! Let's see if you can't shatter the debate of the Earls

+Joshua Orro they were inspired by the rite of spring, but they were actually made for Ford's Magic Skyway at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

+Alexander Younies Oh ok

I was just scared of the primeval world not the Grand Canyon that is freaking beautiful

It's one of my favorite classical pieces because it reminds me of this ride. It's the Grand Canyon Suite by Ferde Grofe.

And the music in the primeval world I believe is from Fantasia.

When the park first opened, this would have been on an audio cassette or 8-track being started and stopped by a cast member. It kinda sounds like interference leaking into the amplifier as the train goes round the park, but then it wouldn't be on the raw recording! I'd guess some kind of analogue interference when duplicating the tapes caused this, as well as the faint whistling you can hear at certain points.

+Brad Goings yes you are right. The music is a composition called The Grand Canyon Suite, which Walt Disney studios filmed footage at the Grand Canyon to synchronize with the music. A few years later when the Diorama opened, it seemed only natural to use the music from The Grand Canyon Suite to play while people viewed the diorama. And the movie the Christmas Story used the music from the Grand Canyon Suite. -Interesting enough, the music for the Primeval World Diorama is taken from the movie Mysterious Island, which was not a Disney production.

Earl Hindman, neighbor Wilson from Home Improvement

@@psycho81212 It is actually Earl Boen. For some reason, Hindeman is incorrectly credited on Wikipedia.

@@DarthBrtt One bonus on the Disney Treasures DVD on Goofy was a lecture on the analysis of Goofy, once done by Goofy's main animator, Art Babbitt, in the 1930s. The closing credits say that Boen speaks on Babbitt's behalf there.
