As much as I would love to see an Incredible's attraction for my son, who loves them; this would just be a very sad sad thing.

Carousel of Progress.
I will be sad to see such a large part of Disney history go away. But, it's been closed so often lately, I wondered if it might be on its way out.

There have been rumors like this going for years. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

I will make sure I see it on this trip. It has always been my dad's fave. We should have taken DNephew on it.
Maybe I can get some scoop. They had refurbed it a few years back. It could use an update again.

oh dear!! I hope not. this is a nice relaxing ride. I also enjoy the music the song is very catchy. Actually my nephew when he was about 13 years old he would rather go into this ride than watch the fireworks.

COP has been closed lately??? Is this accurate? I thought it was back up and running on a daily basis for well over a year now. I doubt it will be replaced anytime soon.

It's been running non-stop about three years now besides the occasional refurb once in awhile.

How on earth could current management get away with closing one of Walt's original attractions. (See 1964-65 Worlds Fair)
I think we would have to form an angry mob with pitch forks and torches and storm the corporate offices.
Actually, as many times as I have gone, I never rode COP until our most recent trip two weeks ago. How's that for crazy.

COP has been open and I have ridden it on all of our trips the past (at least) 3 years.
Sure, I would love to see an update. But not a replacement.
I do not think this current rumor has any basis in reality.

That would be like tearing down Mt. Rushmore, or putting a big plug in Old Faithful.

I just read this the other day in The Unofficial Guide to WDW 2007, Jim Hill writes that the old Tomorrowland Skyway station and COP will be torn down to build an Incredibles-themed "robo-coaster". But he notes that they want to ship parts of COP to Epcot as a centerpiece for a restructuring of the Innoventions exhibit. (p. 494)
I know...I'm saddened by getting rid of the attraction, too. But at least it'll find a home in Epcot (if something does happen...rumors have been flying for a long time). I can't remember the last year that COP operated for an entire calendar year and not just during "peak season".

It seems like the new mgt team is slowly getting rid of all of Walts creations

When we got out of COP last August, there was a CM outside with a survey, asking people's opinions of the attraction, if it was worthwhile, likelihood of us returning etc.
We thought it was a bit suspicious, and assumed they were thinking of shutting it down, because I have never been asked such questions about any other attraction.

If all of Jim Hill's accurate predictions were laid end to end they would reach all the way to.... Well, they wouldn't reach anywhere really. He is seldom right.
