Ha! beat you all!
I was there sometime after 1:00pm On Saturday. I rode it twice. I already knew my digital would not cooperate with the lower lighting, so I just videoed the show.
Funny thing happened on my first time through. We went from era to era just fine, but when we finished the final scene (Grandma and the video game) the theater did not move to the exit position. The funny thing was that at first you did not realize that there had been a problem, but then the characters began the dialog over again. People started groaning.:lol:
Aftere a moment, a CM came on the overhead speakers and announced that there had been a "glitch" and that we would be moving as soon as the scene finished. "It will only be another 5 minutes" he said. More groaning.
My second time was uneventful. Everything seemed to work just fine.
I personally did not notice anything particularly spruced up. I did notice that the firework effect was not running at the end. They used to shine images of fireworks on the side walls as your seat moved to the final exit/segment. Also, the charactors in the third scene were dressed in the patriotic/July 4th setting. I seem to recall the little boy playing a jazz number on the record player, but this time it was a march and he was dressed in colonial garb.
It was interesting to listen to the guests talk as they exited. The first group seemed to feel like the ride was a waste of time. This is probably due to the delay in exiting. The second group made comments about how nice the show was, and how it brought back memories.

how long has this glitch been occurring? I haven't been on it for two years...it was closed all week last year. To be quite honest, I don't honestly like it...but, happy that it's open for all of you who do!

I've ridden CoP at least 20 times over the past few years.
Never have I ever experienced a glitch in either the ride OR the sound.
Even if I did experiance such a thing I probably wouldn't think anything of it. Stuff happens...and if I dwell on it, it just might make a negative dent in my other wise wonderful, magical Disney vacation.
I say..if you don't have anything good to say about a ride, don't ride it...move on..Disney has much to offer and always has had something for everyone. I complain too much at home..I refuse to let stuff get to me on a vacation. :animwink:

Telling those of us who are not fond of Carousel of Progress to not ride it is not going to help it stay open for those of you who enjoy it--not to say it would definitely stay open if a million people rode it, but the fewer riders they see, the lesser chance of it staying open...true, it is in Eisner, Pressler, and co.'s hands, but low attendance will certainly not help. Good luck to you in keeping your ride open.
