Carousel of Progress refurb?

Ugh it's the CoP Seasonal freak out again of the mid 00's that it was closing for good...

I've said this before and I'll say it again, if Disney wants to drive traffic to these "walk up" shows, they need highly visible clocks outside of the attraction that say how many minutes there are to the next show. I know CoP is basically every 5 minutes, but that matters to some people.

Many shows in MK are ones that people go in "if they're loading in a few minutes".

Carousel of Progress needs to outlive us all.

This tweet seemingly confirms that the attraction is having serious maintenance issues. Do we think it’s really at risk of closing? I think that would be the death knell for the MK for me. I can't imagine it without the CoP.

Ah yes, someone who works at MK. Just the kind of specific sourcing we love

So that’s why they brought Hamsterviel out last month!


In all seriousness, CoP isn’t going anywhere. It’ll probably get a lengthy refurb and maybe some updates if this rumor is even true, but it’s not leaving the park.

time to fire up the duplicator from hista, does that thing even still work?

I love this attraction and will be very sad to see it gone (or any but the final scene overhauled).

I bet the same thing was confidently stated about ROA and TSI.

One has historical significance to Walt Disney himself. The other is a copy of a Disneyland attraction that’s been underutilized and ignored by guests for decades.

We're talking about CoP, the attraction that never has a wait time longer than the next show...underutilized and ignored by guests for decades.

Ignore an important first part of my message, but okay.

Considering CoP was one of Walt's signature attractions at the '64 World's Fair, I'd say it holds some significant ties to him.
