 Carousel of Progress Poll: is it time to go away?
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.

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.

 Definately one of my favs
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. 
I am utterly disappointed when it is not open if I am visiting.

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.

This This 100 times This!
I enjoy the ride and go on it every visit!
Just needs some TLC and some updates!

It needs to stay. My Mother saw the original when it ran in the NY World's Fair.
It either needs a COMPLETE update OR a COMPLETE RETRO update - go back to the original World's Fair set up.

I think this a moot point. I believe this is one attraction that will never be changed due to Walt's wishes....

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.. 
Son of Jor-El.. Kneel before Zod...
TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

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......
