It's funny that so many MMDers have no opinion of automatic music in
Disneyland, but its a very important part of the history of automatic
music.  I have a season pass at Disneyland.  I go every week.  I visit
the Penny Arcade next to the coffee house.  I usually get a cappuccino
at the coffee house which is amazing, and better than Starbucks!

I walk around in the Ice Cream Parlor next door, into the Penny Arcade.
There sits the Welte Style 4 orchestrion.  I pause to take it in.  Next
I glance around at the cheesy games that Disney has installed, along
with a few fabulous Edison Kinetoscopes.  Most of the little games are
trivial and not important to me, compared to the fabulous Welte Style 4.

Okay, put in some money and select a tune.  The Welte poorly and mildly
squeaks out a tune with only one or two ranks playing.  I feel like
I have been gypped.

Disappointed and rejected, I go to Main Street Station to hear the Nelson
Wiggen Style 6 orchestrion.  I find that it does not accept money and it
is out of order.  I talk to the staff and they say "We hate that thing!"

So, once again, automatic music is dead and gone in Disneyland, unless
they can come up with a way that will blow away the present audience.
