"I thought it was all so cool, I think it's a bit sad that today's jaded kids would probably find all of this a bit 'lame.'"
Precisely! Sad but very true.
This ride provided a journey in travel, and it was done with props, sounds, lights, fans and projectors, and yet was so satisfying.
Now that I'm older I appreciate the amount of time, thinking and people it involved. So much different then just CGI.
So glad to hear your replies from you all on this tid bit in aviation history.

My apologies if this has been discussed here before, I am somewhat new, but does anyone know if there was an airline pavilion or two at the '64 World's Fair? It would seem likely since it was the dawn of the jet age and, in fact, nearby LGA had just been expanded to accomodate jets and world's fair traffic.
Its a shame its now "Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin" to infinity and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
