The Coca-Cola Company Pavilion
at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair is expected to be one of
the most dramatic exhibits in the exposition. Featured will be
a 120-foot tower rising from the graceful center court of the
pavilion, housing the world's biggest and finest electronic carillon.
Fair visitors will also be able
to make a free 17-minute tour of the world in the "Global
Holiday" attraction which features "experience areas"
in which the visitor will be transported by visual devices, sounds,
temperature and smells to six world-famous locations. These locations
include the oriental city of Hong Kong; the serenity of the Taj
Mahal in India; a cold and frosty Bavarian ski lodge; a refreshing
and fragrant tropical forest featuring the ancient temple of
Angkor Wat, the promenade deck of a cruise ship off the coast
of the famous CopaCabana Beach of Rio de Janeiro and the exciting
Mardi Gras carnival of New Orleans.
The Coca-Cola Company Pavilion
will also include a radio communication facility manned by amateur
radio operators of the Hudson Amateur Radio Council, in cooperation
with the American Radio Relay League. In effect, this radio facility
becomes the voice of the World's Fair to the world via shortwaves.
Servicemen from all over the world are expected to visit the
USO Lounge, also a part of The Coca-Cola Company Fair Pavilion.

- A DESCRIPTION OF THE GLOBAL HOLIDAY
- TO BE FEATURED BY THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
- AT THE NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR
|
The first stop on the Global
Holiday by The Coca-Cola Company at the New York World's Fair
is the exotic, bustling, oriental city of Hong Kong that is nestled
against the hills of Victoria. A visitor to this exotic city
will have the total experience of being there, surrounded by
the Chinese shops along the streets that bristle with color,
and object d'art of the area. He will see exciting vistas up
side streets and down a long street to Fragrant Harbor, the harbor
of Hong Kong, and across to the City of Kowloon, and further
on to the very border of China. Sampans and junks will be bobbing
in the harbor; the visitor will be caught up in the whirl of
Chinese humanity.....the sound of people mingling with the sounds
of wind bells, the clatter of rickshaws on cobblestone streets,
the tinkle of Chinese music as it comes from the shops along
the way.
TAJ MAHAL
From the jumble of feverish activity
in Hong Kong, the visitor will suddenly find himself in the serenity
of a Victorian garden located very close to the awe-inspiring
Taj Mahal. The mood is contemplative. The detail is one of infinite
care and the image is one of the most refreshing in the Global
Holiday. Examples of Indian and Victorian architecture may be
examined by the visitor in the fore-ground creating a proscenium
for a vista of the beautiful Taj Mahal in the distance. The refreshing
quality of the experience is further accentuated by the cool
fountains which abound in this Victorian Park.

BEAUTIFUL BAVARIA
Visitors are next transported
into a cold and frosty winter scene, entering a typical Bavarian
ski lodge, its locale being high on a mountain top in the area
of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Oberammergau. Vistas from windows
and balconies look off into miles of distance to the great snow
capped and fir tree studded Alps. This scene is highly animated,
with skiers going down the slopes, ski lifts rising and cog wheel
trains going through the mountains. The occasional drifts of
snow will flake off of the ski lodge roof and fall down in front
of the balcony. The time is near the end of the ski season, and
down on the lower slopes of the great mountain the visitor will
see the early spring flowers. The ski lodge will have all of
the trappings in evidence. The sound of the crackling fire, of
the music in the background, will add to the atmosphere of fun.
TROPICAL FOREST - ANGKOR WAT
From the previous scene which
was ice cold, our travelers will walk into a fascinating moist
and cool fragrant tropical forest, will see and hear the call
of birds, the chatter of monkeys, and will be engulfed in the
dense growth of the forest. When first entering they will be
enthralled by a great and ancient temple of Angkor Wat. This
temple and others like it were built around 1100 A.D. and were
rediscovered in 1860. In this context our visitors become explorers,
and leaving the temple will thread their way further through
this fragrant tropical forest, pass waterfalls, view an archeologist's
camp and see Buddhist monks gay in their orange robes on holiday,
too.

RIO DE JANEIRO
From the lush forests of Angkor
Wat our guests will walk on to the promenade deck of a cruise
ship bobbing at anchor off the coast at the famous CopaCabana
Beach. it is night, the lights from the hotels and boulevard
along CopaCabana Beach will reflect back into the ocean, and
off to the right of this scene silhouetted against the sky will
be famous Sugar Loaf. Our cruise passengers will experience the
throbbing of the ship's engines. They will hear gay Latin music
coming from the ship's lounge and see passengers enjoying themselves.
The night air is filled with the refreshing salt spray. The passengers
are also given the sensation of the ship softly pitching at anchor.
Romance is in the air as is the occasional call of the sea gulls.
NEW ORLEANS - MARDI GRAS
From the gay, but quiet beauty
of the scene just departed, our visitors are thrust into the
excitement of carnival in gay New Orleans at Mardi Gras. There
will be dancers in the streets, a display of fireworks seen off
in the distance, the music of Bourbon Street in muted tones,
the laughter of children and grownups in the spirit of carnival.
The wrought iron balconies and the fascinating shops below will
abound everywhere.
