I gotta admit... that's pretty funny. Well-played.

I remember the original "final scene"

I LOVE CoP! When I was little, it was a must-see attraction for my family at Disneyland. The final scene (wish I had a picture) was a very cool (now retro) modernized 60's scene. It was soooo cool. I think the miniature 'future' city, the model for EPCOT in its earliest stage was behind a glass as you left the attraction. Ahhh.memories! As a child I was amazed by the tiny cars and buses with working headlights!!

Now, even though my kids don't understand why...CoP is one of the attractions at MK I must see at least once, but usually twice along with the Country Bear show and Tiki room (also known as dullsville to my kids). I've added the The Hall of Presidents to it too...Animatronics is where it's at! I'm one of those who sits up in my seat to watch the show rather than fall asleep in the longer air conditioned attraction like so many people do!! :ROFLOL:

Martin, I love your videos, but you can't use a calculator to save yourself.

hehe.... after I`d typed that I stared at it and thought "there`s something wrong with that...."

Perhaps I should have used a calculator :lol:

AMEN! CoP was the first thing we rode after the WedWay People Mover on my first trip to WDW in 1979. I was stunned.
I've loved it ever since. I also love the Country Bear Jamboree (Blood on the Saddle by Big Al is my favorite). The Tiki Birds also a favorite (not as excited about the new show, but still). I was impressed at how the birds in the dark during other portions of the show continued to turn in various directions, watching the action, etc. Also with the leaning and whispering in the Hall of Presidents.

And thanks Miss M for noticing and photographing the changes. It's great to see this attraction get some love

I love that as well, it's the little details that make all the difference.

Have they fixed the father's neck yet? I have always found the moving lumps in it disturbing.

A few years ago it looked like the poor man had a goiter :lookaroun
