I don't know about you but I REALLY don't like Innoventions!!! They need to change it in some way shape or form!

What if they created a modern MUCH MORE ADVANCED Carousel of Progress

!!! Since they have all of this new technology with Audio-Animatronics why not? If they modernized it for the younger auidence the show would be a hit!!!

Do you think have enough time to go the bathroom before the next show?

I think this would be a great idea. After riding Pirates and seeing Jack Sparrow it occured to me that Disney could make a way sweet COP.
Innoventions is so lacking. I've been in there about 5 times since it opened. I remember EPCOT's innoventions being more interesting. Maybe it's because I'm older and harder to satisfy.

Innoventions was a great idea, but it's so hard to maintain. It requires constant upgrades to stay ahead of the curve.
BUT, if they did spend the dough on it every year to upgrade, that place would be so interesting.
Also, the building needs windows. It would be very cool to see inside, especially at night with all the other lights on.

True, it's not as inviting as EPCOT's.

That would be awesome with the middle of the building spinning too! I agree with Just Believe and sub a new COP would be great. I still miss the original, Tomorrowland just doesn't feel right without a trip through COP.

I think a new COP would be fantastic. They'd have to keep the classic one in mind though, annoying father and all (stop interrupting while Sara's interrupting!). It would be much fun to see and I know the technology is there. This would be much more of a draw for me than Innoventions. The struggle to keep it "futuristic" makes it difficult to maintain.
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

I appreciate your input and I thank you for having concern about the sad

tragedy of more COP. If they could really target it towards the younger audience with VERY ADVANCED Audio Animatronic technology it would be a HIT!!!

They should show a modern family in the final scene. Here are a few ideas:
- A dysfunctional one where everyone's arguing and trying to talk over each other.
- Grandpa sits in the corner of the room/stage mumbling to himself and every once in a while he shouts something unrelated to the conversation. None of the other characters pays any attention to him.
- A single parent opening email and reading aloud a note from her deadbeat ex about why he's missing another child support payment.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

It is amazing how dated most things are in there right now. Let's hope the Microsoft money will bring a breath of fresh air to Innoventions. Of course, a new CoP or something similar would be great!
