![]() ![]() “Meet Me Down on Main Street” is a piece more strongly associated with the Disneyland Main Street than anything in Florida, and in fact the inclusion of this piece is the single biggest departure from my “target era” in the entire audio mix. Returning from Version One is “Meet Me Down on Main Street”. I ended up combining multiple sources of DL train audio with live sections provided by Dave McCormick’s live recording of the Main Street Station in 1983 to create a “composite” version which accurately recreates Wagner’s original station announcements. The Disneyland station announcements have always been available, but differ in wording and pace compared to the Magic Kingdom versions. One major project was an attempt to find the authentic 70s Wagner station announcements. Version 1 of the project incorrectly used the 1990s DLP train station announcements by Eddie Sotto. The train sounds which begin this track are live, recorded in 2011 at Magic Kingdom. I hope you all enjoyed this ranking of my Top 8 area music loops.Here are Foxx’s notes on the creation of Track 2 – Main Street, USA: Luckily, thanks to YouTube, I can still listen to this incredible 19 minute experience whenever I want. Then slowly, but surely, we lost all of it, until today, where the new main entrance loop plays throughout most of the former Future World. Nothing would bring me more joy, and truly make me realize I was on vacation at Walt Disney World than hearing the “Future World Theme.” It was saddening for me when the hallway behind Club Cool closed, as that was the area I most associated with this music. The first half was an existing piece, entitled “Papillon (On The Wings of a Butterfly)” by David Arkenstone, while the rest was composed by Russell Brower and became known as the “Future World Theme.” I have memories going back as far as I can remember of walking through EPCOT, listening to these incredible pieces. This loop originally debuted in 1994 along with the opening of Innoventions. Nothing has ever more perfectly encapsulated the feeling and emotion of an area than the fantastic Innoventions area music, which unfortunately played for the last time at EPCOT just before the Festival of the Holidays this past November. The magnum opus of all Disney park music. ![]()
