[C33Mom]

The revamped jingle will be a medley with Whole New World.

Too soon, too soon.

May they build a Poppins attraction and decide penguins are problematic and will never be featured in any Disney material ever again...

No, it's gonna be "Now is The Time".

So, full disclosure, I was an EPCOT purist furious about the decision to replace the iconic Maelstrom with FEA… and I am still a little sad about it TBH…but I had to decide if I was going to be flexible and continue to enjoy EPCOT (my favorite park worldwide) or fixate on the changes I have no control over. I am an enthusiastic enjoyer of Cosmic Rewind but might not be if Frozen and Ratatouille hadn’t broken my spirit.

I also am a DLR local and didn’t get to visit Epcot much before 2004, so I’m not actually familiar with the original attraction song…but I did listen to recordings of it and it’s hard for me to imagine that most people (or GM’s marketing team) actually want the versions I’ve heard as is?

At least Rat was a new build as opposed to a shoehorned in retheme. Insane for one of their most successful movies ever but it is what it is.

Completely agree (though Rat is a clone and I would have preferred something more original)…I am saddened each time they bring the modified Frozen boat ride to a new park— why not go bigger and bolder? (I am a pretty big Frozen fan thanks to my daughter’s love of the franchise but I really believe they can do better than just Maelstrom with new AAs).

They sure did in Tokyo, but beyond that, they're still definitely into book reports.

No, it's gonna be "Now is The Time".

In all seriousness, I think “now is the time” should return to COP as exit music in the next version of the show.

I would agree... That song was written for it's WDW Debut... Specifically WDW History...not from the World's Fair. I would love to see the final scene in this show completely overhauled.... and the return of WDW's original song...
"Yesterday's memories may sparkle and gleam
Tomorrow is still quite a dream....
Right here and now...
You've got it made...
The world's forward marching and you're in the parade"...

 

[Streetway]

If you are suggesting it becomes the main theme, NO. great big beautiful tomorrow should NEVER be replaced. Now is the time I suggested as exit music and exit music only.

 

[Coaster Lover]

Which Version of "Fun to Be Free" are people citing as the one that they want. As someone who never went when WoM was around. Is it the Jazz Cool Version, Charleston version? What is going to hit the biggest nostalgia if they include it?

If you say anything but this version, you are wrong...

This is my ringtone

Main theme for COP...yes I am saying that... It was the song of the attraction on it's addition to WDW...and WDW specific... Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow was for the World's Fair and Disneyland... I would love to have WDW's own original song back....the song of my childhood...

ATP I feel like cop without the great big beautiful tomorrow song is like tiki room without the tiki room song.

 

[Bocabear]

I guess it depends on what you grew up with... I started going to WDW in 1971 when the park first opened....from the 1975 opening of COP until 1993 THAT was the song...

Good they are doing a refresh, but how about something NEW. Stop just replacing old rides with a re-skin. Add new things and more capacity.

 

[Jambo Dad]

The unreliability was definitely a big downer for me. I’m still unsure how folks would get some of the high performance scores they got on the car design, especially with the limited time you had to do the design

Because the settings to build the highest score were online a long time ago to Google in advance.

 

[Jambo Dad]

It will keep going until GM has financial issues and/or collapses, just like all the others.

Sponsorship in next iteration - Tesla robotaxi!

Wait, when did cosmic take the spot from mission space orange?

Cosmic is the first ride to make me barf.
