Summary

As the Disney Parks continue to evolve, there are times when attractions we love must sadly close to be replaced by another. One of those attractions at the Magic Kingdom was The Timekeeper, a show that existed in Tomorrowland between 1994 and 2006 (and at Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland in the late 1990's and early 2000's). In today's episode, we'll step into our "podcast time machine" to experience Timekeeper at Walt Disney World. We'll also discuss a few fun details and facts that you might not have known about this experience. Did you get the chance to experience Timekeeper at Magic Kingdom (or even Disneyland Paris or Tokyo Disneyland)? If so, what did you think of the attraction? If you did not get the chance to experience it in person, what do you think of Timekeeper after listening to this episode?

0:53.5	We first featured an extinct
0:55.2	attraction in episode 23 when we talked about Horizons over at Epcot, which was replaced
1:01.0	by Mission Space. Now there is an attraction over at the Magic Kingdom that is now extinct
1:06.3	and has been for over a decade, but is one that I remember from traveling to the Magic
1:12.2	Kingdom as a kid with my family and is one of the attractions that has some of my most
1:17.4	earliest memories of visiting Walt Disney World.
1:20.9	That attraction is over in Tomorrowland and was referred to as the Timekeeper.
1:26.2	Now if you've heard of this attraction before, I am hoping have had some really incredible

2:13.6	of the Timekeeper.
2:15.5	So grab some headphones, pull up your favorite armchair, and enjoy this episode of the Imagineer podcast. Timekeeper first opened its doors to the public on November 21st, 1994 at the Magic Kingdom.
