One thing I will say is that for MMRR, they had to completely gut the interior of the building. For TBA, the show scenes will most likely occur within the same spaces, so light gutting & repaintings, along with refurbs and installations of show elements, as long as everything is deep into development & production, it should take too long
Reskinning the AAs should be super-easy, barely an inconvenience. A bunch of fake mustaches, glasses, and baseball caps will do the trick!

You misunderstood others' points that popularity does not equate to quality.
Very true. This is a flume ride in the busiest park in the country. It will have lines and be "popular" no matter what. And that gives Disney even less incentive to go above and beyond. Or heck, even equal to for that matter.

Reskinning AAs are tight!

I certainly didn’t. As I myself noted, I consider the Country Bear Jamboree a great attraction even though I realise it isn’t especially popular these days.

In any case, we seem to be speaking at cross purposes, so I think it’s best we move on.

Just stay consistent please. You claim that the things becoming more popular is better in your original post. popular is as subjective as better.

I have never understood how GMR was old, stale and not worth keeping but COP carries on. I don't want to offend the Disney purists but GMR>COP
I think Carousel of Progress is kept around because it is the only orignal attraction in the park that Walt personally worked on. Granted it was for the Worlds fair and moved to magic Kingdom from Land but as the one attraction Walt actually had something to do with on property I'd try to keep it open too.

Plus, it's awesome.

I like it more than at least 75% of other attractions on property.

Also the fact that the current show was created in the early 90s and has overstayed every single other version of the show of the CoP prior. What is sad is there is no reason or excuse that the current show is still there other than the current leadership can't be bothered or trusted with creating a new one.

I love Carousel of Progress I want it to stay.
And it isn't just for old farts who've been visiting for 40+ years. I took my daughter on it for the first time 2 years ago when she was 5, and she absolutely loves the ride and "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow," and is adamant that we ride it every trip. Makes me feel like I'm doing some things right....

I knew it wouldn't be a popular opinion.
Doesn't matter. Once all of you boomers are gone, I'm going to start a change.org petition to have it shipped to the Smithsonian.

P.S. I'm sending the Speedway with it.

I'm sure the Carousel of Progress will remain but be updated to keep with the times. Maybe the family could feature LGBTQ characters or more people of color during the present-day and future day segments.

for all the ones here that keep complaining about the speedway , families love the attraction. Yes it needs an update in many ways, but shouldn't be ripped out.
