this came from a good friend via email what I posted is all they had.. They sent this to me since I had asked earlier this week about COP reopening if they knew anything about it

I was at the MK yesterday and both COP and Timekeeper were open they were not on the park maps or the attraction board on Main Street that list the wait times.

I posted a few pictures from yesterday on the photos board. The crowds were not as bad as I thought they would, COP seems the same as always and it did not break down when I was on it.

I personally havnt been in the MK recently (holidays...ewww)

But..a fwe of my friends have and said that CoPs lines were non-impressive and will probobly seal its fate by the end of 2002. I dont think that most people realized how much it is on thin ice...

 

[Sean23]

Timekeeper and COP was listed on the park map yesterday. 10 - 6 for Timekeeper and 10- 5 for COP, except on the 31st the Timekeeper was listed as 9 -4.

ya good question I would rather like to stay so I can get the same shots etc from my same spot not have to move around

I am almost postivie they will make you exit and re=enter due to the fact that they have to count exactly how many people they let into the show each time.

I wonder if CoP does close down whether Disney would keep the basic mechanism of the attraction with the rotating seats but reincarnate it with an updated or even new show. They have a similar attraction at Disneyland but it's called America Sings, and I've always found it more entertaining than the CoP show(sorry Grizzlyhall).

What do you CoP fanatics think of this thought? Would it be a reasonable compromise or would it be completely sacreligious?

By the way, is America Sings still there at Disneyland? Come to think of it, I didn't notice it when I was there last Jan.

No need to apologize! I love the America Sings attraction, though I believe that Walt Disney's classic should be preserved. I don't think the current company can pull off a show as classic as either of these. I hope they do, though if they do close Carousel...

"By the way, is America Sings still there at Disneyland?"

America Sings has been closed since the early-mid Eighties. It was replaced by Innoventions.

Iguess I'm dating myself a bit. Any idea why America Sings was closed? I always thought it was a pretty popular attraction.

It had the same concept as CoP with the seats rotating around the stage. It was sort of like the Country Bear Jamboree. Each room would have animatronic characters singing songs from different eras of music. It was actually a pretty humorous and entertaining show.
