He'll end up hating it.

I got stuck on it once and it was absolutely miserable.

How can you get stuck on the Carousel of Progress...?

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

How can you get stuck on the Carousel of Progress...?

It repeats scenes....:lol:

 

[donniedisney]

That's awesome!

 

[PKD]

It repeats scenes....:lol:

or it only rotates half way between scenes and you get to see two halfs of scenes if you will. I had that happen once where it rotated half way and then I had to watch 3 cycles in that same stuck position....there's an exciting time for ya! lol

 

[SirGoofy]

Of course, it`s also the theatres white coned neighbours 35th birthday too. I wonder if anyone is riding that nonstop all day?

I don't think so. After two hours on Space Mountain, I'm fairly certain you would have internal bleeding in the abdomen region.

Imagine that today - a D and an E ticket opening side by side on the same day.

Yea, we can't even get that in a 400-500 million dollar expansion.

Hasn't a CM done over time on CoP and ended up achieveing this already?

 

[Monorail Lime]

Been there, done that. :hammer:

What I meant was, it's possible to walk out of the theater when the attraction breaks down. It's not like getting stuck on IASW or other dark rides that require cast-assisted escape...

You don't really ride/watch the Carousel when you work it, though.

That's what we eventually did because I had enough.

Definitely going to have to look for the no-legged father in the reflection. I usually spend my time in that scene squinting at the bulletin board, onto which is tacked one note with an inside joke: "Marty called. Wants changes."

 

[EPCOTPluto]

Yes, Happy Anniversay, Carousel of Progress! :sohappy:

Yes, and when will those changes ever happen...? And hopefully the 'changes' does not refer to gutting the whole attraction itself. :lookaroun

I know the CoP is not everyone's favorite attraction but this would be cool to do. What a great way to spend a day.

Is that really in there?!? :lol:


I MUST see that next time. :lol:

It was there for a long time, then I think it got changed, but was still along the lines of Marty wanting changes. I don't know if it's still there, I'll try to get a picture of it, if it is. BTW, I love COP, but 11 hours :snore:

 

[KevinYee]

I thought I saw it a few weeks ago, still unchanged. I shall have to verify on my next trip. If I can tear my eyes away from the missing legs, that is!

I'm going to have to agree with Epcot Explorer on this....:fork:

Very simple...Like this video shows from the good fellows of Theme Park Review...

[Jay & Sue]

Should take a roll call right now and see who is missing from this site - he could be one of "us"! :lol:

 

[hrcollectibles]

True - but 11 hours of TaGBBT could have a similar effect.

Whats TaGBBT?

I like the Carousel of Progress but 11 hours no thank you... I mean when Back to the Future the Ride had its last day of operation I rode it 9 times in a row and that was enough....

 

[hrcollectibles]

My favorite thing to do in the Carousel of Progress is sit in the middle front row so you can see that the father has no legs in the last scene by looking at his reflection in the oven.

For some reason this quote made me think of the 1995 "Kids" with the guy on the subway asking for change...
