Not even considering the validity of the original claim... let's think back through Disney's history of refurbishing rides to draw in their film interests. (I always loved how they use the term "refurbish" instead of improve!)... Just look at what they did to the Enchanted Tiki Room! Okay, so, who remembers that bomb Peter Pan 2? Did anyone actually see that? Anyone think it likely that Disney could refurbish Peter Pan and include some stupid thing from Peter Pan 2? Possible....

Time Keeper and Jungle Cruise are very high on Disney's list to revamp into new rides. COP is still up in the air with it's History and it being Walt's Baby. Peter Pan's flight is in no danger of being replaced. Disney first looks at ride attendance before even thinking about replacing a ride. Peter Pan Flight is on a Fast Pass system for Christ Sakes. It will not be going anywhere. Unlike Mr. Toad's Wild Ride which only 4 out of 10 people rode while there.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Horizons and WOM very popular and look what happened to them.Originally posted by DisneyWorldGuru
A very good friend at WDW (a person I can trust for reliable info.) has told me that Disney has no plans to close COP, Jungle Cruise, or anyother rides. One ride sure to go soon is timekeeper. My friend told me that Disney re-opened it to see how it would do but things were not good (sorry to Robin Williams). COP and a few other rides closed temp. because did not want to spend the money to opperate a slow ride (small amount of riders) during a time when sales at WDW were low. He told me the rides will be open for the summer season and as the economy picks up again they will stay open. He said that Disney knows that it is a very good ride and would not be crazy and take it out now. He said it is one of his favorite rides and I agree. So don't worry so much, they will be open for now at least. He said if you want them to stay open show Disney you like the ride by riding it and having everyone you know who is going to WDW ride these rides. Hope this calms some worries.

They were for years, but by the time they closed you couldn't drag people onto them.
I rememebr having some friends who worked there, and they rememebr days where they would not have a single guest on the ride. And there were days they would only have a few hundred people ride it.
And this for an attraction that used to pull in several thousand people an hour.
