Thoughts on Carousel of Progress

[Kevin Kuhl]

Does anyone else feel like COP is a truly underrated attraction? Whenever I get there, there's never a line (or anything remotely close to even a group of people assembling) and inside, not everyone is always awake. Also, some of those quotes just make it such a fun ride to go through. Something about the way that his "lumbago isn't acting up" gets me every time.

I recommend it to first timers as a fun stop, and no one ever shares this same enthusiasm. I know its not what most people consider a must-do, but I think it's at least notable.

Seriously though, am I the only one who makes it a point to hit COP every time, if not multiple times, a trip?

I absolutely agree with you... It is very underrated!
This is the one attraction that gets quoted at my house almost daily, "No privacy at all around this place!"

It's one of the best attractions on property.

We do CoP every time we visit MK. Can't say that about a lot of the rides or attractions.

Love CoP. It's on my must-do list every trip. I always sing along and my partner leans away like he's embarrassed or something. Hah. Just makes me sing louder.

Love it. Sometimes I power nap in there but there's nowhere better to do that imo.

15 minutes of air conditioned napping bliss.

One of my favorites and a must do for me every time.

CoP is a must every time we go!

It's really an amazing and highly overlooked attraction. A Disney trip is incomplete without paying a visit. It is desperately in need of a major refurbishment, but it's a true classic.

I love to watch COP once when I go.

I love to watch COP once when I go. The above message may seem like a multi-post, however I feel it fits my COP experience.

Definitely an underrated attraction and a great show. Could be one of the best on property with a quality refurb.

I could always take it or leave it. Nice to sit and rest and usually fall asleep. My husband is not a rider so we usually do it since he can participate. However, I was shocked when my children 12 and 15 at the time insisted we had to go on it when I suggested skipping it. Kind of made me feel good they found pleasure in it.

I'm often surprised it is still around. It is not "Disney" and has a sizable running time. I think its large capacity is what keeps it around. It'd be nice to see it either restored to just be its original form or fully updated to better space the time periods.

I do really love it but I don't know if I can ever do it again. My last experience involved so many people getting up and leaving causing it to stop that I saw a scene 3 times, the next scene twice, the following 2 scenes 3 times each. I just don't think I have the strength. Not just because of the repetition but I was reaching my boiling point with other guests.

One of my favorites. It doesn't have a line because it loads every 5 minutes and seats a ton in each show. Great capacity and very underrated.
