Carousel of Progress maybe? Going with the AA inside show theme
I don't know - everyone says that's "untouchable" - me, I've never even done it, even as a kid in the 80s. So yeah, I won't be upset if that goes.

Personally, I would think that Birds, Bears, AND Carousel were all untouchable especially in terms of celebrating the 50th. Like, what is Disney/Chapek thinking? Here's to 50 years lets tear down 3 original rides/shows and leave the Stich building sitting empty.
I think this really transcends personal opinions on the matter. I don't ride Carousel anymore, however I would be sad if a new generation didn't get to experience it so though I personally would not miss it I would find it weird for it not to exist.
Same with Tiki and CBJ. Though, Tiki is one I do several times per visit because Walt's love for that stuff is what got me interested in Disney parks in the first place. If it wasn't for the Poly, Trader Sam's, and the Enchanted Tiki Room I never would have went and never would have experience the rest of the magic.
D23 announcements are always fluid. I wouldn’t be certain that is set in stone just yet. Last time we had people certain Brazil would be announced and then it wasn’t.So the new insider that has stated CBJ and Tiki Birds are goners is now saying one additional ride may also be gone. No further information being given.
I am wondering if this person has access to, or seen a copy of what is going to be announced at D23 or some such??
Soooo at MK - it won't be the mountains, Pirates, HM, IASW or Peter Pan. Doubtful on Winnie the Pooh. No on the people mover or Dumbo.
The magic carpet ride perhaps?
Buzz?

Nothing transcends personal opinions as they are, personal opinions. What's important to one person isn't important to another.
That said, I am ambivalent if they touch or don't touch CBJ, Tiki Birds or COP. There are other rides I would be upset about.
Things change, new rides will become classics, that's the way it goes - like it or not.
I try to 'roll with the punches' and accept when old rides close, and new rides take their place. I was sad when the Great Movie ride closed in DHS, and Horizons in Epcot, but I got over it. The Country Bears feels different, almost like this is personal. I've been going to Disney since I was 2yrs old and grew up with those Bears and Birds! I understand the importance of evolving, but animatronics were important to Walt. We don't have a museum in MK, so I guess I sort of see CBJ and TB as museum-like attractions. They're tributes to Walt's legacy. Change is important, but I think it's also important to remember where it all started too. Keep the CBJ, and do something in the empty Stitch building!

I’d say if they are following the trend of axing shows it will regrettably be COPSoooo at MK - it won't be the mountains, Pirates, HM, IASW or Peter Pan. Doubtful on Winnie the Pooh. No on the people mover or Dumbo.

True, even Martin said it was set and ready to announce and at last minute they stripped it out.D23 announcements are always fluid. I wouldn’t be certain that is set in stone just yet. Last time we had people certain Brazil would be announced and then it wasn’t.
Quite honestly, I would love a section somewhere in WDW - that has Walt's items from "One Man's dreams" and then some items from Mr. Toad and other rides like 20,000 leagues and such.I have no idea how practical it would be - but for a lot of these classic, animatronic attractions, I would love if they could move them somewhere that is almost more like a museum - heck, build something in Marceline, MO or somewhere related to Walt's history
I totally get how things like the Tiki Brids, CoP, Country Bears, might not fit in "modern" theme parks and aren't super popular .... but I really, really don't want to see them just become landfill

Not sure where it would best fit.... but would be fun to see and remember
