ooo..a debate..hehe::
The Christmas rush as you mentioned really isnt THAT impressive. The parks were crouded (as they usually are that time of year) and people are more willing to get on ANY line if they see even a few people waiting. Thus why its only opened SEASONAL. They know it wouldnt get enough people in there on a normal day...unlike..say...test track
Yes..The Teen Demographic is only a SMALL portion of the total attendence at WDW, so I will retract that statment...
It costs a lot to keep it in shape even when it isnt running. So even in its "seasonal" status, it is still draining money...We all know how eager disney is to keep an attraction open when there isnt any outside funding
Now for some geek stuff:::
Ok...so...lets assume that CoP goes thru about 10,000 people a day (being optimistic here)...compaired to the amount of people who go to WDW every day, thats a really small #. The neighboring attractions handle at least twice that and at a much faster rate.
The way I see it right now, the only thing keeping CoP open are::
1.) Lack of replacment
2.) Large Historical significance (Keep in mind that this wont really help it once they get an idea of what to do to replace it)
Petitions never help, especially since (as I mentioned above) Unless you can get over a million signatures, it wont look impressive. Compaired to the yearly attendence of WDW, it all looks very small.
