Oh those lines! Lines! Lines! (Top) Crowds wait in open-air lines to enter the GE exhibit. Waits of 2 hours or more were not uncommon. (Bottom) For the 1965 Season, GE leased the entire vacant lot behind their pavilion to create a covered waiting area for visitors. Disney historian Paul Anderson notes that the installation was promptly dubbed "Progresslane."

DAZZLING AT NIGHT AS THE LAST TRACES of daylight dim out in the west, colorland at the Fair comes to brilliant life. You're standing with our color camera atop the Better Living Center in the Industrial Area and you take in four of the area's top attractions (l. to r.): Johnson's Wax, Tower of Light, General Electric and IBM. In addition to displays of products, each one has a free show that is highly popular with fairgoers. The 7-Up and Coca-Cola towers are centered in the background.
