Now this is where it gets confusing.:hammer:
From 1964-1973 there was a cat in ever scene. It was always a different color, and different size. It never had a name.
There may in fact be a cat in every scene in the current 1994 version of the COP, but I can only think of the one in the last act, and maybe one in the first act.
The daughter with the washer-ma-thingy in act one to this day has no name or is never mentioned by father.
She may be some gril next door just helping mother with the wash.
Personally, if they could only keep 4 acts, and not bother expanding and creating a new pavilion, I think they should have the ride in it's basic 1964 presentation. 1900, 1920, 1940, and 1960.
Christmas 1960, the way the show originally ended, was very well done, and personally my favorite of all the endings to date. If we keep updating the ride with only four acts, we will have such a huge gap between 1940 and god only knows what year. This may impact a change in the only 3 surviving original sets in the carousel of progress. The first 3 acts, especially act 1 and 2, are extremely similar to what they were in 1964, with a cosmetic excpetion in act 3. If we have to alter those acts to make new decades, then we might as well destory the whole ride.
We either keep the ride as a techonologically updated ride with replicated sets from 1964 with only 4 acts. Or we make a completely bigger carousel with a restoration of the first original four acts, and additional acts after that.
In my personal opinion, I think the best story line for the COP, would be in a much bigger pavilion with acts 1900, 1920, 1940, 1960, 1980, and 2000. This will focus on an entire century with select decades. Not to stop progress, a bonus act called "tomorrow" will be the final act, and can be the one that can always be updated to show the audience a priewie of what may come in the future. This will not affect the rides purpous, to show how a typical american family has progressed through electricity during the 20th century, the first century in which so much rapid progress occured.
