I have to confess I haven't done Carousel of Progress once in my last 5 visits to Disney World. That said, I hate to see things just discarded, and wish there were a way to refurbish it and perhaps make it interactive to resurrect interest in it...rather than just leave it as is as a quaint piece of nostalgia.

I dont think its time for this ride to go away this was one of Walts original Ride Ideas and I mean it was already sad that Snow Whites Scary Adventures had to go I love these rides and Im not one of those people who have had this ride all their life and I still enjoy all the older rides. These Rides are Walt Disneys Legend so I think if you get rid of all the rides that Walt imagined the park wouldnt be as Magical. So im against getting rid of this ride 100%.
I'd be extremely disappointed if COP is ever closed, for us, COP and the Peoplemover are the first things we do when we arrive at WDW.
COP is pure disney, its the perfect start to our vacation, of course id love to see them refurb it, but ive got a feeling they'll close it before they refurb it.
I concur!

This is a staple of Walt Disney World. While parts of the ride may be outdated and the technology is no longer as impressive as something like the modern-day animatronics of Buzz Lightyear, I really wish every guest at Disney World would take the time to appreciate where Disney innovation all started. Of course, when I see the queue is typically at the five minute mark, I realize that it has sadly become an overlooked attraction, in favor of something more glitzy and glamorous. My family and I, however, make it a point to visit this attraction at least once every visit and I hope to continue to do so for as long as we keep returning to the World.
