Carousel of Progress was open today, 4/20

[MrNonacho]

I hadn't seen it posted anywhere that it would be open, but lo and behold it was . Even the times guide said it was temporarily closed. The sign in front said its operating hours were 11-5, but I don't know how long they plan to keep it open or if it was just a one day deal. Timekeeper was still closed, though.

Hooray !!! Was there much of a line?

 

[MrNonacho]

Not as much of one as there was when it was open earlier this month, but it's kind of expected seeing as the park wasn't nearly as crowded. The theater I was in was about 1/4 to 1/2 full.

That's awesome.
A lot of people get thrown off guard though because the sign outside that says operating hourse 11-5 is always up there, whether its open or not, and I think that confuses a lot of people.

WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!

This is WEIRD...

And scary!

Why? What happened?

Did you ask anyone?!

It's good, but...wierd...too...just opening out of the blue...

 

[General Grizz]

Can I trust you??! LOL :lol:

I just talked to some WDW Operators...they say it wasn't open today...but...you can't trust them...wow...could it have been open? :lol:

I swear on Walt's legacy that it was open, but I don't have any proof. I'm not sure that I would believe it myself if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes .

I can confirm that COP was open today. I rode it 3 times. They opened it because the crowds where so heavy. COP had very large crowds when I rode it. Nothing like a sell out but darn close to it.

I will post a full trip report later tonight

 

[General Grizz]

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[jaylenofan86]

Oh! Thank god!

 

[General Grizz]

General Info said that CoP could have been open yesterday and today due to a "Special After-Hours event" at the Magic Kingdom...


HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM............ :lookaroun

 

[orlpassholder]

[General Grizz]

Oh...

[adr315]

Hmmmmm..... So why is CoP open for Grad Night? It prolly has NO attendence when the park is full of half drunk high school students.......Cant wait till next year!!! hehe

 

[orlpassholder]

I can only speak for Epcot and Magic Kingdom both parks where packed with young adults yesterday, and today. It was like spring break to the 2nd power

 

[General Grizz]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

How many teens were on the CoP, guys?

 

[orlpassholder]

a few where when I rode it. They seemed to enjoy themselves. With todays heat it was a nice spot to cool off

 

[General Grizz]

Did you go to MK yesterday?

OR did you see any LINES outside CBJ?

Is CBJ still on reduced hours?

Did, if you went by, it exceed hours?

THANKS!!

Jimmy n Crickets allot of questions Grizz

Ok yesterday I went to Epcot and Downtown Disney late (with some of gang here in the labs)

Today I went to Epcot, and briefly went by Magic Kingdom. I did not get a chance to even get into Frontierland. Since when I saw COP was running I went on it till it closed.

I happened to grab a Time Sheet at MK and CBJ was scheduled 10-6
