How mad I am about the carousel of progress going away in 2009.

One day i am going to make a youtube video all about saving the carousel of progress.

You must have a lot of extra time on your hands. :lol: Best of luck with that.

I too, love the CoP, but I find it ironic and a bit sad that an attraction with the word progress in the name hasn't had much of it in the last...20 years...I would be sad to see it go as it is a classic, but I think I'd be sadder to see it given a half hearted attempt at an upgrade or renovation (Imagination and Spaceship Earth come to mind).

Carousel needs to go. As long as there's not another video screen attraction replacing it.

Btw, who cares about their word choice. It wasn't profane or anything. Way to make a big deal over nothing.

I have edited the title because the word used is still considered vulgar (according to the urban dictionary) which is against guidelines. I personally have no problem with it, and have uttered it myself from time to time, but would not post it on a PUBLIC forum with a broad cross section of readers.

If "The Boss" wishes to allow it, he will override my decision. Otherwise, I would appreciate no further discussion. Thank you.

Um... :lookaroun

Although your change reflects above the first post in the thread, it hasn't changed the thread title on "New Posts" or at the top of each thread page.

Just thought I'd point that out [I think the forum software tracks the thread based on the original title, so maybe Steve {the Boss} has to change it?]

Didn't you read, there will be no further discussion :lookaroun..

COP MUST STAY! enough with these rumors already, cop is a disney classic, if they want to start getting rid of old rides, how about taking hall of presidents away? I have been to wdw over 30 times in my life and i have never once stepped foot in the hall of presidents, but i must do cop atleast once every trip, all they need to do is update the ride, and update the building, they dont need to take this beautiful attraction away especially if all theyre going to do is replace it with some cheap pixar attraction with a couple of cardboard cutouts and a few tv screens, enough with disney replacing these timeless attractions for cheap unimaginative ones that hold no place in people's hearts like the ones they replace (ex. mission space instead of horizons? seriously?) I mean if I knew disney was going to make a valiant effort and give us something new that was worthy of replacing cop then i probably would have no problem with it, but if all they are going to do is play it cheap and give us a bunch of tv screens or something then i'd rather them just leave it alone, even in its current state... it doesnt make the park a "museum" like some other people have said, if anything it just feeds those wonderful nostalgic feelings that we all repeatedly go to disney to experience, but anyway bottom line is disney should just update cop, not replace it, it DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED! especially with another pixar attraction, i mean whats the point of renaming a whole section of mgm to pixar place if tomorrowland is where all the pixar attractions are going to be?.......leave cop, update it, and update it right, make the building not look like a maintenance building and move on! if they want to add a new attraction to mk then how about givin the 20k plot some love? too many will miss cop, NOONE will miss an empty plot of land

When we were there in July COP had a few holes in the ceiling. Rain was actually leaking onto people as they watched the show. It needs some major TLC. I happen to like all of the classics (including Hall of Presidents) and hate to see them go. However, I hate to see them left to ruin.

COP 2.0 will be finished at Epcot in February. It is called Spaceship Earth..

COP 2.0 closed in 1999 (Horizons)...ironically years before COP the original would close (if it closes)

I agree entirely that if it gets closed at WDW that it should be added to the Smithsonian.

The Carousel is a Disney classic, its a world's fair attraction, an event with very little left from a big piece of New York history. Its a nice contrast from the new disney attractions, like buzz and the monsters inc thing, from a time where Tomorrowland was about the future and how bright it could be, and with the world how it is today, we need more optimism about our future, more optimism to believe that there is a great big beautiful tomorrow, just a dream away, sadly this was stripped from Epcot as well in the 90s

Bring COP back to DL. They know how to take care of the classic attractions.

At least, I hope you were being purposefully ironic

Well, the irony stems from the fact that Disneyland already dumped Carousel of Progress like the useless luggage that it is. Seems like they "took care of it" to me, much in the same way that WDW should "take care of it."

At least, in my humble, but accurate opinion

They also "dumped" the subs. But, brought them back, with updated technology, bigger and better. People now stand in line for hours to ride them.
