I'm curious what my fellow Intercotees think about CoP these days. I know some folks absolutely love CoP while others would rather get a root canal than sit through the show.
So, where do you stand?

The Carousel of Progress must remain.
This ride is a classic and an important link to Walt. A refurbishment should be done.
Ditto. When it means nothing to the Disney management (and if two or three people come in, I'll wager they'll keep it open if only for the history it presents and what it means with regard to Animatronics, the Disney way, etc.), they'll take it away. Don't think it will happen in my lifetime, honestly.
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.
Keep it
My DH could take Disney or leave it (he goes 'cause we love it.) But the one thing that he absolutely can't miss is COP. He just loves it! We all do actually, but he said he could ride it all day if we let him. It would be nice to see an upgrade of some sort though.
It's one of my favorites. I think that the final scene needs some touch ups, but everything else great. I would be heartbroken if it closed.
Like has been stated before it is a must keep. I can remember this from my childhood and it IS an important link to the past. It probably could use an update--but I do so love it. :mickey:
I am utterly disappointed when it is not open if I am visiting.
No doubt it is a keeper in need of updating.
I mean, that final scene is so unrealistic. The kids are actually actively engaged with their parents and grandparents? They should be sitting on a couch texing their friends throughout the scene.
I'd be really disappointed if they ever got rid of COP. My family and I always do this attraction several times on our trips. Yes, its corny and outdated but thats part of the appeal for me. If nothing else, its a great spot to get a 20 minute air conditioned power nap in the summer.
This should always be an attraction. At a minimum, it could use some cleaning and TLC, if not small update. Im not sure even the last scene should be changed or updated. Maybe best to leave it as a rememberance of how the "future" was viewed.
I would be extremely heartbroken if they ever got rid of that. KEEP!!
Keep it. But the final scene does need updating.
Keep it for sure!!!
CoP is a classic to me, and I never miss it each trip unless its down for whatever reason. I hope they never let it go. :mickey:
It's on the top of my MUST DO LIST every trip!
I predict that COP will never go away. Someone Up There is protecting it. And rightly so. It was a deeply personal project for Walt to work on. He oversaw literally every detail of this attraction. It outlined his own personal journey through the time in which he was born, to ultimately the time in which he passed away. The last scene is so awkward because originally it showcased the "modern" era of the mid sixties! Scene One: Turn of the Century/Scene Two: the 20's/Scene Three: the 40's/Scene Four: the 60's. The last scene is the only one that has been "updated." To me, the leap from the 1940's to the present is very awkward. Personally, I wish they would restore the last scene back to the original scene as it appeared at the New York World's Fair. On another note: I LOVE IT!!!! Long live COP!!!
Keep it. It's a MUST do on every WDW trip:number1:
I LOVE COP and I would love to see an update on this! I don't think we'll see one anytime soon, though. I love seeing all of the differences the family goes through as the decades change. Walt had an ingenious idea, and it's still fun today!
Absolutely keep it.
I really love it. I would hate to see it go.
Another vote for absolutely must stay!
We always make it a point to ride it. My girls love it as well!
KEEP IT . Make some updates so It shows progress and leave it running.
I'm with everybody else, keep it but update it. We still do it everytime we're there. :thumbsup:
Oh most definitely, keep it! It's at the top of our list every time we visit! :number1:
MUST KEEP IT. That is one of the few attractions that my husband REALLY enjoys. I am the big disney fan not him.
keep it!
Don't touch it! I'm just trying to wrap around lots of other recent changes!
Keep it and update it... it is painfully in need of a refurb... I wouldn't mind if they put it in Innoventions in Epcot.. :)
I'm mixed. Some things should remain because they feel like tradition and bring back warm memories of times past. Yet, things change, and sometimes the old must give way to the new. Some of my favorite attractions are nothing but memories now but many have been replaced by new favorites such as:
Buzz Lightyear in place of If You Had Wings
Winnie the Pooh in place of Mr Toad's Wild Ride
Test Track in place of World of Mission
Mission:Space in place of Horizons
Animal Kingdom in place of Discovery Island
Typhoon Lagoon instead of River Country
Monsters, Inc instead of the Timekeeper
and the list goes on......
Just agreeing with all that's been already said before me. I would be so sad if they ever were to tear it down, but I wouldn't think that that would happen. But yes a refurb is needed.
Love it, keep it!!!
KEEP!!! :thumbsup: Maybe a more up todate video game
Keep it,,,,Refurb the last scene
Love love love COP exactly the way it is. For the record, so do BOTH my texting teenagers!!:)
When one of them had a bad day, the other will actually start singing.... It's a great big beautiful tomorrow....!!!!! How luck am I :mickey:
I LOVE THE CAROUSEL OF PROGRESS!!! It must stay!! :mickey:
