    I don't like this poll because itI like all the attractions lsited, and it's not quite a fair poll... nobody would close the HM, and most people think the HoP is lame. Hence why it will get the most votes, guaranteed.
    Walt was ½ Canadian!

    im not saying its an easy poll but it is fair! hop is a disney classic straight from walt himself, so is cop and nobody can argue with hm, and se is the centerpiece of epcot, and that was walts ultimate dream! i dont think most people think hop is lame! i think most of the people on this site love american history and enjoy the story of hop!

    I voted for the one I care for least, CoP. I know it's Walt's baby but it really needs some updating. When they talk about the turn of the century it should at least be about the one we are in now

    I too like all the attractions listed. It was a hard choice. Sorry to my American friends, I voted for the HoP.

    As for updating, I think that all of these really need a bit of work.

    If you had left out the Hall of Presidents, the first three options would have created quite the conundrum for me, and I don't know if I could have answered it.

    Hall of Presidents IS a WDW classic, but it doesn't inspire the nostalgia that CoP does, nor is it even close to as entertaining as Haunted Mansion. I would never vote to shut down Spaceship Earth, because I don't think you could truly have Epcot without it.

    I do not think that any of these should be closed...but the one that seems to be in need of a complete overhaul is the Carousel of Progress. The older scenes are still okay except for a few malfunctions that have been noted in other threads, but the newer scenes need to be updated and or redone.

    This was kind of easy for me.... SE. DH and I love HM, CoP and HoP. We've really learned to enjoy and appreciate HoP over the years.

    Keep the ball, but put a better attraction inside.
    Although....it is a ride we love to grab a nap in...if the car isn't grinding, screaching and bumping too much.

    I also went with HOP, only because there is no way I could live without the other 3! I know COP needs to be refurbed and updated, but I still love it. Just knowing that Walt designed, implemented and watched the show himself is very special to me.
    Hold on to your hats, cuz this here's the wildest ride in the west!

    This is a tough choice. All four attractions have great history and meaning for evryone who visits WDW. For myself, I had to vote HoP due to the fact that others have already stated. CoP needs updating, but you can't get rid of that. As well as SE. What would EPCOT be without it? As for the HM, well that to me is more "classic" Disney than HoP.

    You can't really get rid of any of them- they're all iconic or at least they represent the last time Walt influenced the park. It would be criminal.

    I do not like this poll at all, but I did play along and picked SE.

    I'm sorry folks, but I don't know how so many people can pick HoP to go. It shows part of our country's history and the men ( like them or not ) that have had to make the hard decisions to help keep us free to make silly little polls like this.

    The gentleman from North Carolina respectfully abstains...

    I can't vote for any of these to be closed because they are all favorites of mine.

    What a toughie!

    I picked HoP only because WDW without the other 3 wouldn't be WDW. I love HoP though...
