Every couple years someone says it is closing again.
It is just because people like to start any rumor to get people rambling?

Unfortunately, I do think the trend is moving away from AA driven rides. The screen based rides can be changed a lot quicker. Soarin' will be a favorite even after the current video runs it's course, because it can be completely redone with a new video. The same can be said about Mission Space and Monster's Inc Laugh Floor. Sure they may have to change other things, but if the majority of the attraction's focus is a video it makes it easier (and less costly) to change over than an animatronic driven attraction.
CoP will never close perm. it may be closed for refurb and changing the final scene, but never gone forever or replaced.
Honestly, why would Disney even consider destroying COP. This is probably Walt's favorite attraction. If Walt ever came back, his first ride would be most likely COP. And if he heard that it isn't in his original park (DLR) then he'll be pis**d!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Walt Disney was alive today, he'd remind us we always need to keep moving forward. The park is not and was never intended to be a museum to itself. When Disneyland and WDW opened, they were showcases for the most imaginative, inspiring and technologically advanced entertainment possible at that time. When a ride is no longer particularly imaginative, inspiring, or technologically wondrous, it should be updated or replaced. It's NOT enough for a ride to bring you nostaglic warm feelings.
Somebody pick me up off the floor, I'm holding my side to tightly to get up myself... :ROFLOL:
Never say never, except when saying never say never that is...
Never happen.
I am never going to say this again but never say never unless you are vowing to never say never again...
Does anyone have some tylenol?
