Actually it has been on regular operating schedule for the past few years so it should be open. I think it's still listed as seasonal because it is one of the first attractions Disney would take offline if they were short staffed or especially now with the current state of the economy. I think your chances of riding are high I don't want to say it will definitely be open because you never quite know for sure with any attraction.

It hasn't operated seasonally in years. It's a daily attraction now! Long live COP!

Yes, but I think it's still billed in most literature as "seasonal," even though it's been steadily open for years.

Like someone else said, it is still listed as "seasonal", but the last few times we have been, it has been open, so I think your chances of getting to ride are pretty good!

As a sidenote, my boys rode it for the first time when we were there in September and it became a favorite. I think we rode it twice more that week, with one of them being the last night of our vacation in MK. Each person could choose their fave to ride, and COP was a must for the boys.
Love it when the 'classics' are appreciated even though they're not a 'thrill' like Splash, or SM, etc.

My wife and I were part of a five-person audience early in the morning on Tuesday (Jan.6).

It's one of our favorite attractions along with Pirates, Buzz Lightyear and the Haunted Mansion.

Allison likes to sing along.

Thanks Walt!
