I don't think the modern part should be updated, It is really funny what they thought our lives would be like now.boilerbabe wrote:northernmousefan2007 wrote:I love carousel of progress, it feels like Walt is alive in that circular building.
I'm with you on that one! This ride is def. a classic and should never be removed, Walt was so ahead of his time!!!
DH and I always get a pic. each trip in front of the sign for each year we are there! It's a nice tradition!

Re: Carousel of Progress
I love CoP as is...though it could use a refresh, I would rather leave it as remembered.
...and GBBT is one of my favorite songs! It's so positive and is such an earworm that I'm singing it for days....

It's gotta be A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow as a song, but I do love the Tomorrowland Loop of Now Is The Time.

Re: Carousel of Progress
Guess it depends on what era you were brought-up in.
Kind of like asking which Spaceship Earth narration you like.

Re: Carousel of Progress
I really hope the CoP isn't changed. It is one of the true last treasures from Walt's time.. and when it goes, the whole World will never be the same
