CoP was up and running the week before Easter but due to maintanence issues, they only run it during peak times of the year. It is a classic ride and one of my favorites but given it has NO advertisement, NO attention, and NO upgrades to the turntable gear system, it's doomed to limited running times and limited guests. Most people don't even know it's running unless they happen to see it turning when they are near it. It's one of the "forgotten" attractions. But definately worth seeing if you get the chance.

Bingo.
Does anyone see the parallel with this and Vault Disney?
Believe it or not I had taken my daughter who was 7 to CoP and she loved it.She wanted to go on again which of course we did.Now she is 8 and she is dissapointed that it was closed when we last went down last month. I am very excited she likes it because it is one of my favorite rides of al time.The time we went and it was opened was in the middle of July.

Everyone I know drives everyone crazy singing "It's a great big beautiful tomorrow" when they come off the ride. It will drive you freaking bonkers.

Old link... I suppose... the audio seems to be down... but you can still learn about the CoP there.

:lol: Like I said catchy song.
Wanna know why the new Imagination ride is doing better, they added the song back. Good attraction songs make a world of difference. Prberk, regardless of whether the ones who rode liked it, there are many teens who will not ride it. I was at Spaceship earth the other day, some teens were all excited about going in the ball until they came to the sign explaining the ride. They turned around and said not another one of those old rides.
Like I said, today's culture is a far cry from even my 80's generation who still loved WoM, Horizons, and the CoP. I never said it wasn't a great presentation mind you, I just didn't want the hype of the ride to outweigh the experience.General Grizz

Hey - - good points. Yet, I'm sure a lot of the family wouldn't care for going on Space Mountain, either, or visiting Mickey Mouse in Toontown Fair. That's the magic of the Magic Kingdom - there is so much for so many different tastes. And that's why it's the most popular theme park in the country...
Attractions like Tiki Room, IASW (hard to catch many teenage males here), CBJ, and COP are some of those original "family" tastes that need to remain in order for the "classic Disney" fans to keep coming.

I was hooked on CoP since i was a little kid, mainly because the scene from the 50s looked like my grandparents' basement. This may be heresy, but Ive always liked the old CoP song, the 'now is the time, now is the best time...' song better than 'great big beautiful tomorrow'
