Timekeeper Open?

[AU Tigger]

For anybody who just got back...

Are Timekeeper and/or Carousel of Progress currently open?
How about Cranium Command?

Thanks in advance!

Timekeeper was closed. Carousel of Progress was open during the first two weeks of May and believe it or not, there was actually a line waiting to see it. Maybe they won't let this attraction close after all. Cranium Command - if you are referring to the attraction at Epcot in the Wonders of Life pavillion was closed up tight. I don't believe that building will ever open up again, it was overgrown and looked totally abandoned.

Thanks bunches. And let us observe a moment of silence for 2 underrated attractions. Sigh. Two more swirl the bowl.

indeed, I enjoyed timekeeper and was upset that during my 3 trips last year it was never open and now that its dead I shall never get a chance to see it again

...How about Cranium Command?

There was a lot of discussion on several threads a month or two ago about whether "Wonders of Life" and its attractions, "Cranium Command", "Making of Me" and "Body Wars" were gone forever or just "resting" until needed ("Closed Seasonally").

Back then, the official WDW website had the most CONFUSING listing that said:
* Cranium Command: Open Seasonally [April 1- April 31, 2006]
* The Making of Me: Open Seasonally [April 1- April 31, 2006]

That led many (most) readers to believe that it meant that these attractions would be OPEN from (in this case) [April 1- April 31, 2006].

The contrary was true.
It actually meant that these attractions would "remain CLOSED" (in this case) [April 1- April 31, 2006].

But it was confusing BIG-TIME (and caused a lot of discussion between the posters as to its meaning).

WELL...
I just checked and the Disney folks (gotta love 'em) have "fixed" this confusing listing.

I copied the following (month-by-month) from the WDW Calendar Epcot site:

-----------------------------------------------------

So, it looks like these attractions will not EVER re-open (considering that they are not open at all during the Summer... not even around or on July 4th, one of THE busiest times at WDW).

Sad to say that, as I really loved these attractions, but at least the listings are no longer ambiguous.
I just wonder WHY they bother to specifically list them AT ALL??

As to Body Wars, the rumor is that it is no longer even "in the building" as the ride system was supposedly shipped to another non-US Disney park for use as a "Star Tours" attraction at that park.
