Carousel of Progress | Love it? Hate it? Update it? | Magic Kingdom

I'm pretty sure it did change and what they play now is the "new" music.

It may have changed from when it first open, but for the past 13 years it has been the same as far as I could tell.

My family loves it.

It's been awhile. I don't know the exact date but there was a change at one point.

 

[dvc at last !]

Love it - a blast from the past !

Clean up audio and end with an updated scene.

I love Carousel of Progress and never miss it.

I completely disagree with changing the last scene. I would be so upset and disappointed to see it go. I would be all for adding yet another scene, to portray real futuristic things, at this point, although I don't think that's possible without completely rebuilding the theater.

Having been going to WDW since opening year in 1971, this is something that means a lot to me. It didn't appear in Magic Kingdom until a few years after we started making yearly trips, but I always loved it. It's even more meaningful now, as an adult, knowing it's something that Walt himself designed for a World's Fair.

Back in 2002, it was only open part time and I was worried they planned to close it. I'm really glad that it's still here 15 years later.

It's one of the simple things that brings back a life time of memories for me at Disney. First, standing at the beginning of Main Street, looking down toward the castle. Unfortunately, now there are are always a bunch of photopass photographers up and down the middle of the street, making it somehow not the same. I try to overlook them and concentrate on the storefronts and castle.

My childhood favorite rides are still there - Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Pirates of the Caribbean. But something about CoP just makes my day.

@OKW Lover Thanks, maybe I'm getting it confused with a scene that was in Horizons. -Amanda

Love CoP. You could put in OK google or the amazon one that would change the oven temp!

That could be! I loved the ability to pick your ending on that attraction.

 

[buzzrelly]

Love it! Love it! Love it!

 

[KingLlama]

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Still unsure whether you love it.

 

[kbelle8995]

Love it! Love it!

Just rehab that last scene please. Maybe bring back the retro one from the 60's

 

[chalee94]

Like it and want to keep it. The last scene can be updated though.

 

[mickeyfanachey1999]

My oldest son and I both love it. DW and DS6 endure it for us...generally right after a spin on the People Mover!

I love CoP - It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow. A message that we could all use.

I think that the last scene should reflect the childhood of the average parent, so probably 80s right now.
Then I think that there should be an audio good bye that bridges the changes since then and encourages parents to point out the differences from their childhoods.
There's no way to update the last scene to keep it current. Even if they tried to update it every few years, it would probably always seem a little dated.
