 Carousel of Progress Surprise plus Important Info [Merged Threads]
Hi guys! I am a avid reader but I don't get to post much (any) but I had to tell ya'll about this. Sorry if this information is somewhere else.
I was at Magic Kingdom last weekend and at the buzz light year and stitch fastpass a "surprise fastpass" for carousel of progress comes out with your fastpass for those two attractions. It is used to get traffic over there on crowded days. I was curious if it really worked, and it does!! I rode the COP twice and both times the theater was filled just about to capacity and there was a long, long line in the FP line! lol you could just walk right into the open queue area for standby. I was completely amazed how successful the "surprise fastpass" was...just having that little ticket in their hand had people waiting in a long line instead of just walking on. Very humerous to see! I had to take a picture! Glad to see the COP so busy! It is a classic!
Hope Everyone is having a great weekend!

Hopefully it helps CoP to find a whole new crop of fans! It's really a good idea (even if it's a bit sneaky) by Disney, but anything that gets more attendance at CoP is a good thing!

Wow! I think this is a great idea.

Thanks!

1) I haven't seen a need for FP on CoP in years.
2) But, it is a great way to advertise CoP.
3) Let's hope it catches on.

We would not think of not seeing COP each time we visit MK. It is a must and I hope many more people fall in love with it now.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

Wow! It it works, great! It would be horrible to ever see a classic like this close.

Wow, I got a good laugh out of that one. That's pretty clever, I want to go on the ride now!

Anything to save CoP sounds good to me.
Maybe they can update it some. Instead of 1900, 1920, 1940, today, it could be 1900, 1940, 1980, today. That last jump is too big.
But it's still one of my all time faves. My daughter and I sing the song on the way to school, and she's never seen the show yet!!

Would that be the COP Crop?
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

Carribean beach. Mnsshp, hhn, seaworld 4 disney parks 2 waterparks rented a car got photopass plus. Im ready

I agree that COP needs some TLC too, but instead of upgrading the last scene - how about restoring the original 1960's scene? That way the last scene won't look outdated almost as soon as it is installed.

That's exactly what I would like to see. Restore the original ending, and don't worry about showing us futuristic technology. They could simply have a little epilogue at the end to wrap it up (audio only after the final scene).
And while I'm thinking of it, CoP still says "seasonal operation" - does anyone know if it will be open in September? I'll be there then and I hope I don't miss it!

I hope it helps CoP as well....I love to sing a few lines form the song and have it stick in my kids brains....
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

It hasn't been seasonal for quite a few years now but sometimes it does close earlier in the day than the rest of Tomorrowland.

Awesome, thanks Jeff. I haven't been to WDW in four years, so sometimes I'm out of touch with the latest trends  I noticed on the WDW website it had "open seasonally" so I got a little worried.

It's been open every day since I started working in the land, so no worries dude the ride will probably be open when you visit WDW.

We rode it for the first time last trip and loved it. That was only our second trip to the world. It's now a must for us.
