World fairs are a thing of the past. Sixty years ago there was a polyannish expectation that the world would unite and transcend differences of race, culture, and politics, while the sixties brought a peace and love ethic to Western culture through music, culture, and new ways of thinking. It was a renaissance of sort but only lasted as long as the baby boomers stayed young and foolish. In reality, the world is filled with cultural and racial conflict along with antagonistic ideologies and religious beliefs. The U.N. is a sewer of autocratic and ideologically backward nations that should not be a part of a democratic institution the U.N. was originally intended. So here we are with no more world fairs. It's quite possible we'll see the end of the Olympics in the not too distant future.

People noticed that on the thumbnail they look like pairs of twins.. you know its eugenism/cl0ning.

Attended the NY Worlds Fair... and was so lucky to have enjoyed so many of these Disney Favorites... thanks for the video!

aaand the Lizard People and Controllers are still trafficking children to this day.

Humanity is waking from slumber and learning of distortions in history, crimes against humanity. And shifting focus to co-create a better world, right way to live as children of God(G)

Stop lying!

Brookings Hall, thr admin builing for wasington univrdity was begun brefoe fair consruction brgan. Thr leader of yhr fsir David R.

bullshyt rewriting history , do the government be making these channels?

I wish I could find more videos like this! What an awesome video!

I often wondered where some of the relics ended up. I also wonder what happened to the furnishings from Disney land house of the future??🤔

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND RESOURCES. I think its a great place, however, spending money and building perminate buildings only to be torn down two years later is criminal. The US does not have the money to spend on such things and we shouldn't allow anything even from private funding.

Great movie. Thank you so much.

The Epstein lineage

*shows an abomination known as the Mach e…. NOT a Mustang.

I've been lucky to have attended three Expos (Shanghai, Yeosu, Milan) and worked on concepts for pavilions (Astana, Dubai), and have been a fan of them ever since I was a kid (my dad had photos from 64/65). Planning to go to Osaka next year. I really hope the US gets its act together about these and joins in again.

Thank yo so much. Brought back so many happy memories of a life time! I was there with my wife Cathy and very three young daughters and a sister visiting from India. My daughters three and two years old, loved Disney's "Its a Small World a small world" exhibit and we had to make a few rounds. We also hired a greyhound mobile, so it was easy on us to make the rounds!

What did they do with all the statues? Are they underground?

Wrong root beer is older than Dr Pepper check your history facts.

*I remember the '64 fair well: I was a 13 year old public menace with a strong interest in technology of any description, and the Fair had a limitless supply of exhibits to meet my teenage needs! Besides the Videophone (which **_everyone_** remembers), my most vivid display recall was the one on Global Cooling (no, that's not a typo). Already terrorized by "Duck and Cover" drills at school, this display told that if the nuclear circus didn't get us, then the coming Ice Age would! I remember the **_extreme_** emphasis on avoiding any more than a 1 degree change in the global climate, because if that single degree happened, we would all freeze to death. Not Cool Guys!* *So, for all of you saying I must be remembering it wrong, search KZfaq for "the coming ice age" with Leonard Nimoy ("Mr. Spock"). He will give you the rundown on why we are all going to die in a global refrigerator set to **_freeze!_** It was about 10 years after Nimoy laid out our imminent Death By Ice Age that they changed their mind, and switched their grift to "We are all going to die by heat stroke", That fair is the reason I never have, and never will, believe in global anything coming to get us. Except maybe global Marxist fanatics. That I can actually believe.* *Thank you SO much for posting this, I actually learned a lot! For instance, I did not know that some pavilions were preserved in some way, and specifically, that I worked in the former "Spanish Pavilion", when it was reincarnated as a Marriott hotel in Saint Louis! I worked there about a year, and I always wondered why the place was designed so **_strangely!_** Now I know it was originally the Spanish building - but I had the privilege to cook for guests there for almost a year, and **_loved it._** I learned more about the '64 fair than I ever **_knew_** before watching this, which is really saying something, as history and its preservation is one of my "things". Thank you a thousand times for posting this **_incredible_** look back at one of my favorite childhood memories.*

Just started this but I’m turning it off so I can watch it when I get home, can tell this is going to be a treat and it deserves me to be at home comfortable after work

It was revolutionary to say the least!

This is an historical FICTION people. You have to dig deeper than this layer to see something that even barely resembles truth. This certainly isn’t it.

I don't know if I agree with educating people on the world's fair. The guy who came up with the idea ruined and displaced many poor people and minorities. Many would say he ruined new york city's infrastructure and did so without any elected authority. He was a bully who just wanted to leave his own mark on the city. The world's fair itself gave a false sense of world peace and cooperation right form the start when it cheated its way into becoming an unofficial fair by skirting the rules. many countries boycotted this fair. The participants were not selling a better tomorrow they were selling bad ideas like building more roads and more cars and tricking people into thinking that would stave off traffic. The city itself literally wrote a law to stop civil rights protesting because while these companies were pitching the future "for all mankind", minorities in the USA were still being left in the past. I guess you can cry tears of fond remembrance if you were white.

At last! A video not narrated by a giggling fool.

'Aerospace' is a hoax.

Ok

Clones distributed after killing off the slaves that built America...just a thought or facts?🤔🤔🤔

Disturbing. As a mother of a premature baby I would never be ok with this. Were they stealing premature babies and telling mothers their babies had died or something? So many unanswered questions.

Ironically my grandfather has pins from this fair.. and I’ve never heard of this until now..I’m in my 30s.. he has a LOT of them.. and yes he’s on ☝️.

Those were not side shows they were selling humans lmao

this was an excellent video!! I watch everyone that's ever on the world fair. I'm 70 my dad was a physician at nearby hospital that overlooked flushing Meadow and I would go with him to work on Saturdays and I would be able to watch the fair being built also Shea stadium being built it was so exciting! once it was opened, we would go to the fair a lot. I knew it like it was my home. I loved it so much think about it all the time even to this day I'm always driving past the fairgrounds. It was such an exciting time in New York even though JFK had just been killed only some months before, but we had the BEATLES and we had the fair and the space race and science was exploding and I had my transistor radio WABC and WMCA my wonderful grandparents… Life was so great! growing up in Brooklyn and being so close to everything with a subway ride. It was a dream life I'm writing this in tears of streaming down my face. I can remember so much about the fair... at the Parker Pen Pavilion you could get a penpal and I did, I got a girl my age from England, which, of course was the coolest you could do because everything at that time from England was cool, and she lived on a farm in Surrey. I was 10 and we wrote to each other all the way into college, and she joined the army, and she was in northern Ireland, and doing house to house, searches for bombs, and she was killed. I have all of her -itis to this day. I have my record for it's a small world and my Sinclair dinosaur and the guidebooks from the fair in a box, filled with other souvenirs from the fair. it was Magic in a magic time.🤗

And vastly ridiculously greedily overpriced.

It appears that Rolly Crump didn't like how the Tower came out, his designs had to be altered to make the Tower strong enough to stand up in the winds....and so Rolly himself is the reason the Tower didn't survive after the World's Fair. Just the same....the Tower was beloved and well received by crowds of Fair goers....and I sure wish they'd re-create it - perhaps for an Anniversary of It's A Small World??? PLEASE!

In the most recent episode of loki, they recreated this ferris wheel!

This video appeals to my interests almost exactly

You don't hold a healthy baby like that, let alone a premature baby, They were growing babys since the 1800s maybe even earlier, have you seen the cabbage patch videos, the post cards advertising children for sale, being delivered by mail men? Not at all the history I got 50+ years ago, New research shows we are the offspring of a cloned generation,Not by aliens, but the robber barrons and odd fellows,The same big family names we see in the news today, May the truth set us all free❤

Sweet ride. Can't believe you did nothing to restore it to its classic beauty for 30 years. You don't deserve it.

Wow. Thanx muchly for the backstory! I'm still hoping to get to see the Tower in person some day.

Yep! I was there. I 'drove' one at the Fair! I had my own new 69 Grande, and a used 72 Shelby. Such sweet rides! Thanx muchly for the nostalgia trip!

Nice! Thanx muchly for the backstory!

Cool! Thanx muchly for the backstory!

Wow .Thanx muchly for the backstory!

Cool! I've always loved Dr. Pepper. Thanx for the backstory!

Fascinating! Thanx for the backstory!

Fascinating! I never made the Remington gun connection. I don't know why; it's so logical. I wish I still had my Grandma's old Underwood upright. It was cool looking, and I learned how to type on that lovely beast! Thanx muchly for sharing!

If/when I find/build a Time Machine, I'm going to the World's Fair again, and you can 'Meet Me at the the Smoke Ring!' Thanx muchly for the fabulous Nostalgia Trip, and for letting me know what happened to some of my favorite stuff from the Fair. I'm glad to know that it all wasn't just left to 'demolition by neglect'. I was 14, vacationing with my family, and we went to the Fair! I remember everything you highlighted. The PeopleWall was impressive. The 4 Disney projects were fun. The Royal Tire ferris wheel was a blast! It was great to visit dinos that weren't skeletons. The individual state exhibits were interesting, as were the individual countries' exhibits. We tried a lot of different foods, too. I remember being fascinated with all the 'stuff' of the Fair, but what I remember most was ... how it felt. How it smelled. All the colors. All the faces. The excitement in the air. The looks of enjoyment. The people. We were all there. Some from near, and some from far. Old, young, all colors, sizes, and shapes. No fights. No protests. No verbal attacks just 'because'. Smiling at strangers. Gazing in wonder. Everyone excited and curious. And, just happy to be there! It didn't matter if you couldn't speak another's language. We somehow found a way to communicate with each other, mostly through body language. Peace through understanding. Yeah. I think we accomplished that --- at least we did on the day I went to the New York World's Fair. You could feel it. And see it. We, the people of the World, were all just happy to be. And that was great. 💕 (By the way, I still have my 'Smoke Ring' button. 😊 ) Thank you again for a wonderful documentary, and a great nostalgia trip! (subbed!)

I was there when I was only 2 years old. My only memory was from a record we got from the Continental Life Insurance Companies pavilion! ❤️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLqpeqqEp63FZps.htmlsi=AgyrDtVa2JF8mUDS

This video makes me hungry for yummy ice cream thank you for the delicious history of ice cream cones

Not anymore! They're tearing it down.

Thank you for showing where a lot of the features ended up after the fair. I never knew how many things found new homes. I noticed a few things that had been big hits at Seattle in 1962, such as glass elevators up a tower - and rotating restaurant (Space Needle) and monorail. those things are still big hits in Seattle, along with their fountains plaza and the Science Pavilion which was designed by the architect for the original World Trade Centers, maintaining the familiar siding.
