Great update. Loved the "John McCain" portrait. :ROFLOL:

Your pics make me excited to see COP again in our trip that is right around the corner.

Sure does! Thanks for that, very interesting. And it makes me feel bad because it takes forever for me to crawl out of those cars.
:lol:

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!

I just realized that in most of your CoP pics that no one was in the rows in front of you.:cry:

Was CoP REALLY that empty?:cry:

Yeah, I noticed that too. In this pic it looks like there is NO ONE in the theater with him, but the theater beside him is full. :shrug:

Here's the full story:

We went on COP when it wasn't raining. Pretty much full house. When it was done, it was pouring outside and they said you can stay on if you want. Everyone but me and my mom, and a few other non-group people stayed too. Meanwhile over in the theatre part next door it was filling up with people escaping the torrental downpour. So by the time we spinned around to load in the darkness, there was nobody out there to load in to ours. They all went into the one ahead of us. NOW THE FUNNY PART: Rex Allen does his thing, and we don't go anywhere. Now if anyone who has seen this can attest: You're in for a real treat. Everyone has to watch the show ahead of them once, twice, and then halfway through the third time you'll start to spin and catch the next theatre's show halfway through it's thing. All the while a Cast Member will be blasting you with "REMAIN SEATED, DO NOT LEAVE! AGAIN, REMAIN SEATED!!!" every five seconds (Not joking there.) When we finally start spinning you can hear the crowds roar in approval in the theatre ahead of you. You see, we were at load. All we had to see three times (Or at this point, four times for us.) was the loading instrumental and Rex Allen's intro. They had to watch their WHOLE shows two and a half times.
:lol:

-The New Liberty Square Bridge is open now, though they are still working under and around it. It's totally flat now, and is a much lighter color. (Sorry, only one picture. The rain came and made it impossible to take pictures of due to the fact I was umbrella-less!)

Awesome, not hopefully the Spectro floats won't get stuck there.

We've experienced that before. We saw multiple scenes, multiple times. The whole "spin" took about an hour.:eek:

Well, as long as you can get yourself out of it at the same rate they're dispatching trains from load (21 seconds minimum), you have nothing to worry about. :)

I was on line when Space broke down! It was repaired really quickly, and all of the staff was awesome! When I was coming out, I said "You guys are the best!" They replied "No, you are!" We said "No, you are!" They said, "If it wasn't for you, we would be out of work (Or something like that!)

P.S. The 3'00 parade was canceled as was the Dream Along with Mickey shows. In fact, we saw it E-Stop right before Peter Pan's scene! (Everybody said dreams come true and the castle sparkled, the end) Spectro went off without a hitch, except that the mini AAs (Sebastian and Jiminy Cricket) weren't working.

Is Spectro back on it's original route? (the new bridge)

I think so, it went from Main Street, around the hub, and I guess through the bridge. I was under the impression that the parade couldn't function without the bridge. Oh and by the way, Big Thunder had a waterfall effect on the first lift. Is this new? Not only is there the waterfall on either side of you, there's also several heavy-duty misters that look like the waterfall is going over the track. Also, the jumping fountains on Splash are working, but Bre'r Frog on the first lift is nowhere to be seen.
