video in WOM, well we have a copy of it for your enjoyment. The film was
shot in San Francisco back in 1906, right before the big earthquake and
fire. A Trip Down Main StreetWe also found a video of the queue, in World of Motion just before it closes. Take a look!Main Topic - We continue this month with more World of Motion.  Such a large attraction that we needed two episodes just to cover
everything. The episode starts off with How discussing the World's
First Traffic Jam and we work our way through the second half of the
attraction. We learn all sorts of great facts including how they
integrated the movie Tron into World of Motion and that you can never
have enough speed tunnels. We wrap up with a full length discussion of
the TransCenter, which some people may have never experienced as they
were in such a hurry to get back on the ride for a second go around. For
more views and a '91 perspective on the World of Motion, check out this great footage. Audio Puzzler -
