The show was comparable to Disneyland's Country Bear Jamboree show. The audience seats rotated around the stage mechanically within Carousel Theater, a building with most of the outer lower level of the building rotating. It rotated clockwise, unlike its predecessor, the Carousel of Progress, which used the same system and went counter-clockwise. The attraction was located in Tomorrowland. The characters were designed by Marc Davis. The show opened for the United States Bicentennial.
