From Wikipedia, "General Electric sponsored "Progressland" where audiences were seated in a series of ring-shaped revolving auditoriums called the "Carousel of Progress", where they viewed an audio-animatronic presentation of the historical progress of electrical technology in the home. The Sherman Brothers composed the theme song "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" for this attraction. The highlight of the exhibit demonstrated a brief plasma "explosion" of controlled nuclear fusion."
