I am so glad that I saw CoP this past week. We made a point to see it since there had been talk of it closing for good. There was a long line for the first show of the day. I believe that others had the same idea as us. It is so sad to hear it is now closed.
I know my memory is not always reliable, but my recollection is that when they initially closed Mr Toad's ride, it was for "rehab." Then, when they decided on a replacement, the signs for a new attraction went up. Does anyone remember how this, and the closure of 20,000 leagues were handled? I just remember not thinking they were closing permanently at first.

Ahhhh, well that one wasnt in the same category as the others. It closed and went into immediate rehab - it didnt just sit there doing nothing like Horizons, 20k, Timekeeper and now COP.
But i know what you mean about rehab = replace.

So Sad
You know, if Disney can't do anybetter than to close things for "cost-cutting", there is something wrong.
But yet, they can still charge $1,250.00 a night at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Let's not cut costs there to get more people to stay there, then get them into the parks.
I have written a letter to Disney complaining about all of the recent "cost-cutting". It is really sad that the "happiest place on Earth" is turning into "Cost-Cutting Capitol of the World"

SACRILEGIOUS How else can you describe it?
Not only is the attraction a 'historical' piece in itself, but it's contents were a simplistic, yet effective, teaching tool by demonstrating chronological changes in the way we lived, the way we dressed, and subtle, social influences and nuances in our lives.
Walt....God bless ya man....sometimes change is not good.

This is just icing on the cake for our upcoming trip! CoP has always been a must ride for me at the MK. I saw this attraction for the first time at the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair and was thrilled with it then as well as now. This trip is going to be so different in so many ways. I'm sure we will still enjoy ourselves but I will definitely miss CoP, as well as the Skyride, 20,000 Leagues, etc. etc. infinity, it seems. Indeed, what a way to celebrate Walt's bithday.

Disclaimer: I personally like C0P. Now, with that out of the way and at the risk of offending a lot of people, I can see why it was closed. When's the last time that you saw even a moderate number of people on it? I can't recall when. People line up like crazy for Buzz, Space, Alien, and even the Speedway but not for C0P. Should they have left it open until it was time for new construction? Sure. Should it be replaced? Unfortuately, yes. It is a classic but one that most people don't seem interested in. At least in MHO.

I hate to see this attraction go. It has always been one of my favorites. The last time I rode it, they forgot the famous "and no video taping" part of the cast member introduction. Taking this as a key, I video taped the entire ride. Glad I did. May be the only way I will ever see this one again.:hurl:
Hee's a way for thinking about it:
