Oh -- just as a side note -- Maelstorm in Norway is closed for rehab -- but I think that's a different thread altogether
Cop because the motors are dying and they're trying to extend it's life...plus it gets almost no attendance in the offseason.
Timekeeper is a pure attendance thing...another attraction that only fills when the park is packed.

Re: Re: Re: CoP and TimeKeeper
The way I understand it is that the motors are simply HUGE and that you'd have to tear out a large part of the ride to replace what needs fixing.
If they are going to tear it out partly, I don't see a replacement. Once it dies, it'll be the end of CoP.

As sad as it is and as much as we hate to see it go, CoP will eventually have to be retired. I only hope that at least some of this "Walt" project is kept and displayed somehow.
It would make a lot of sense to open up a Disney Parks/Imagineering museum of sorts at MGM. They could fill it with all sorts of models, working animatronics from years gone by, photos, blueprints and all sorts of things from the various attractions that have been built and closed down in the past. Perhaps a section devoted to things that were scrapped or never built.
Since the Disney Parks focus on "show" it would fit perfectly in MGM.
I just think I would feel a lot better if there were some small part of CoP, Kitchen Kabaret, or Horizons on display that I could go see and admire.

I think that instead of just getting rid of the CoP, Disney should just move it over to the park where it seems to fit into the theme better than in Tomorrowland-Epcot. They should build a new theatre in one part of the Innoventions buildings (as there is alot of empty space in those buildings) and move it there. Therefore, Epcot can get a "new" attraction and the CoP will benefit by the higher audiences it may get in the middle of Epcot instead of in a corner of Tomorrowland. A few updates to the show couldn't hurt either....
