Have to keep it!!!!!
I don't know how many fellow WDW fans on this board can say it, but, I was at the World's Fair in 1964 ,and rode the original COP prototype....as corny as it seems,it is one of the things NEVER miss at WDW..I have been going since 1971,and could not even begin to count how many times I have ridden that ride!!!! Sure, it could use a little touching up,but to get rid of the original spirit of the ride would be blasphemous..IMHO...All you have to do is watch the video outside to see how truly far ahead of his time Walt truly was...just one man's opinion...
"Ive been to WDW more times in real life than I have posts on here!!!!"Not sure, but has to be over 100 times since 1971..absolutely my favorite place on Earth....

Definitely a keeper with some updating. Another classic keeper with need of some updating - Spaceship Earth. Both attractions that I make sure I hit every trip but they are admittedly getting a little "tired".

Keep it.
I think because the last scene can never keep up with the actual present technology, I think the attraction should be restored to the way it originally was when Walt built it. Make it a "tribute" of sorts to Walt's original vision.

Buzz Lightyear in place of If You Had Wings

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......
To be fair though, Typhoon Lagoon didn't replace River Country - they used to be open at the same time. And Animal Kingdom didn't replace Discovery Island. But it's true - without some things going by the wayside, we wouldn't ever have anything new to enjoy unfortunately.

While I love Buzz, i still miss my dreamflight. NIce, relaxing, fun ride. I miss all of the old omnimover/dark rides.
I'd rather have my Mr. Toad and Horizons. WofMOtion i think fit Epcot better, but I do enjoy TT.
Monster INC, AK are great improvements... But some things that bring you in, are the nostalgia of the past... I think the newer generations, don't think/feel along those lines, and will have a harder time associating with disney..

COP must stay! It would be such a shame for it to go. Too many great attractions have gone away as it is - 20,000 leagues, Skyway, etc.

Definitely a keeper! I wish they would take the final scene back to the original or something similar though. There is such a huge gap from the 40's scene to the "future" scene that it is kind of crazy. Or even if they made it into a Horizon like final scene I would be happy.

Agree 100%! Our last visit in 2010 I went by and looked between the boards to see the old 20,000 leagues area... great memories. Now all that is gone with the Fantasyland expansion. CoP is a must see each time. I'm sure our children will be having the same conversations in 15 or 20 years but it will be whether Buzz Lightyear or Soaring or Mission Space should be dismantled as those will be their childhood favorites.

I hope if/when my son has kids,he'll take them to WDW and take them to COP and tell them that "your grandpa took me on this ride every time we came here and I hope you will appreciate it as I now do".

MUST Stay
I would be so disappointed if they ever took that away! It's something Walt was involved with and something many of us remember from our visits to MK. It has that Disney Magic that has to stay!

Actually, I can say this too!
I think they should revamp the last scene to make it more futuristic. That would give it legs and justify it being in "Tommowland." As it now stands, most of the items there are not that futuristic.

It has to stay! Since the first time I experienced it I instantly fell in love with its simplicity and charm. I'll usually check it out at least twice per vacation. I'd be genuinely heartbroken if it went away.
