Park News - (2/13/02) Screamscape has heard that the Carousel of Progress and possibly Timekeeper may open once again for the Presidents Day Long Weekend. However, we’ve also heard that this is very likely to be the last time that they reopen these rides, and some kind of replacement may be in the works for one or the other.

Odd Rumors - (2/13/02) A guest to the park last week claims that almost all references to FedEx have been removed from Space Mountain. Can anyone else confirm this?

200? - Rumor - (2/13/02) I actually have no clue about the timeline for this, but I’ve heard a couple of people mention that some kind of futuristic “bumper car” project is moving through the development channels for either the Carousel of Progress or Timekeeper attraction areas. With a bumper car project themed to the Bugs Life film going into DCA this fall, it is possible to add one to WDW as well.

They better be some of the greatest themed Bumper Cars. With more than drive in a circle and hit people. They better have story and everything. Truthfully though I don't see this happening because of the Speedway in tomorrowland. They also really don't fit in with the theme well at all.

If Disney replaces COP with "bumper cars"...oh, boy. That's suicide.

Hmmm... I guess they will be sticking with the carny themed rides....bumper cars eh? Though...when I was joking, in other primevial whirl threads, I said they would stick them in Test Track's place...ah...I was close;)

Dont shoot the messenger. :)

Just passing on what I read. And I've heard about FedEx backing out for a while now, and that UPS may be waiting to step in. Heard this back in January. *shrug*

It's all rumors until something happens. That's why I said MK Rumors and not MK News. ;)

Not shooting you for putting up the message, but whoever originally said this had to have made this up from the top of their head. Disney would never stoop to Bumper Cars unless they were so absolutely desperate.

Disney should start to learn that when you do something right the first time you don't have to correct it later on. **Thinking about Jouney Into Your Imagination now**

The Orlando Sentinel stated a few years ago that Disney was designing a "Flying Saucers" attraction similar to that of Disneyland's to replace COP. It's not out of the question. :(

That would stink!! Since the Flying Suacers didn't do too well in Disneyland way back when then I think it wouldn't work today. Let's just hope that Disney gets a change of heart and puts CoP back in operation. That ride has so much value to some people.

I don't think so, if you read above it said, their are bumper cars themed to a Bug's Life going into DCA this fall, so if they do good, expect them in another park.

I agree it would totally suck if Tomorrowland got bumper cars.
