What time of day were you there?
You know, if this was mid-day, (after 1PM), I'd be kinda concerned...because it is extremely different for practically each day! :lol:
This is what Disney needs to do. On the map. Everyone knows that Buzz Lightyear is on the map...(I think he still is...) - they should dedicate one of those little boxes to the Carousel of Progress with information on what the show is, where it is located, and a picture. It is one of the most historical Disney attractions of all time, after all!
- oh, and not to mention a necessital need in Tomorrowland to get away from "Outer Space" but to deal with the essence of the "Future" itself.
And perhaps mark the 'Walt Disney Classics' (the attractions Walt worked on or loved) - and CoP can get some special treatment.
The same thing happened with the Country Bear Playhouse at Disneyland. It was hidden in the corner of Critter Country. Most families in Tomorrowland will head for (usually) either Space Mountain, Alien Encounter, or Buzz Lightyear. And 'Progress' is not a dominant attraction on the way. And it could be true that, with Timekeeper, people look the opposite way (at Alien Encounter) or the Astro Orbiter (it moves...it was suppost to be an attraction-getter).
It needs advertisment...and I hope to see neither close without an attempt - and a sign that they care.
TK and CoP are treasures. They don't have noisy laser cannons shooting off...nor ear-piercing noises. They refrain from fast thrills, but they merit in a showcase of the world, the family, technology, history, and the promise of tomorrow. The main reason for the Magic Kingdom being the most popular theme park is the diverse amount of attractions for different guests. Carousel of Progress and Timekeeper are traditional attractions, attractions that seem just to not be built anymore, that have only been increased in quality and entertainment. I believe it is in Disney's best interest to keep both attractions - unless a better idea for Circle Vision comes along that doesn't involve a giant queue area ... or meet and greet
.
And I thank the Walt Disney Company graciously for reopening Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress this summer - and I hope Timekeeper may reopen and continue to inspire guests!
