Heading for the great escape.
Re: Re: due to popular demand
Judging by the amount of times I was surveyed in Nov they have been very keen to listen, and perhaps now even act.

That is great news! Hopefully we will get to see more of the Caroussel of Progress and Timekeeper after getting the requests from guests.
This has been happening a lot lately with COP. Basically everyday that COP is open and on limited hours the ride gets many times more guests than expected, and Disney is caught with their pants down because those "conclusive" guest serveys that deem DCA and Animal Kingdom a creative success say that COP is not an attraction that people care about anymore.
Bottom line:
Timekeeper and COP are closed because Disney does not want to run them anymore, not because the guests do not want them. But I didn't have to tell you all that, did I?

You'd think something this "complex" would eventually sink in their thick skulls, huh?

Not to be the person with bad news, but part of the reason they were so popular is because of the non-stop rain from 6:30 PM till after midnight. I know, I was there and we all were looking for "indoor" attractions. Oh and at 11 PM, Splash Mountain had no wait and you could ride again without getting off.
BTW, on a different note..... When I was on CoP, I saw perhaps the dumbest tourist ever. Near the beginning of the show, a cell phone rings. A man GETS UP to stand in the corner and talk on the phone. While the ride is rotating, the man OPENS THE DOOR to look outside. The ride stopped about 2/3 into the rotation. Once the man noticed what he did, he ran back to his seat. After about a minute, and an announcement to remain seated, a cast member came in to talk to the man. He acted as if he didnt do anything, and OBVIOUSLY pretended that he couldn't speak English. The conversation was basically "Did you open this door?" "Nooooo......." "Did you stand up here and open this door?" The cast member demonstrated exactly how the man had stood in the corner and opened the door. Still the man acted clueless. The cast member then asked the audience if the man had opened the door. Everybody shouted "YES!" in unison. The cast member told the man to stay seated during the show and let him sit back down. After the rotation was finally completed, we saw that scene again, and the rest of the show ran smoothly.:brick:

Even though this guy did something stupid...I am shocked to hear that a CM would embarass him like that. I can understand him coming to him and telling him to remain seated, but talking to him like that seems to be wrong. Especially when he addresses the entire audience about the persons actions.

"Do what the public wants...not what you want..."
I wonder who said that..oh yeah! Happy Birthday!
Expense is another thing - but isn't the cheapest thing to do close the whole park?
I am really glad to hear this news; COP and TK will go down again after the holidays. And if we all show support we will see MANY more great, big, beautiful tomorrows. Maybe one day, they'll invent a cheaper way to run CoP...and move it to EPCOT Center where it foundationally belongs!

I saw both of them this past Friday, and they were fantastic! I'm so glad I got to see them. Timekeeper isn't one we usually do, but we figured we might not get another chance. I'm glad I did, this time, it was hilarious! Great stuff, all around!
