Reader reviews of Carousel of Progress
An oldie but a goodie. Perhaps it would do better at Epcot instead of in the middle of Kidzville USA. - Brandie S The only thing the guy on the right of me had gas.It smelled real bad. - richard comisky While this attraction is definitely showing its age, it is still worthy of its place at the Magic Kingdom. Catch it while you can as rumors abound that CoP will soon become just another monument sitting on display at Epcot or the Smithsonian, which would be a complete shame. - James Rao A good idea and full of interesting facts, it is however a little dull and comes with an irritating repetitive theme song - Emily G Oh dear. Has no place in a modern theme park and the looped tune will drive you insane! - Mark Moore As Tomorrowland continues to become Pixar-land I have an idea for the future of The Carousel of Progress. While I’d hate to lose it in Orlando, I think they ought to pack it up, and move it to the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History in Washington D.C. It’s never going feel like it fits in there as Stitch, Buzz and the little green men continue to take over that section of the park. I say put in a place where it will be seen as the milestone attraction it is. Then they can stop worrying about keeping it up to date and forward looking. Let it spin on blissfully doing what it does best; reminding us about where we were, and what was and is important. Until then, be sure to stop by each and every time you are at the Magic Kingdom to see one of Walt’s highest achievements. - Rob McCullough Disney's gift to the future generations...hopefully Disney chooses to NEVER GET RID OF IT!!! It is essential they keep this for all to appreciate and enjoy. - Wilfredo Alvelo Yes, the ride is a little outdated. But I really appreciate the ride for it's more sophisticated yet educational entertainment. My family really enjoyed it as well. It's also a great break from the rain or heat on a typical Florida summer day. Would be nice to see them update it though. The last set seems to be caught in the 80's. Maybe something more up to date would be better. Good ride either way. - Don Neal A wonderful way to look at innovations that have changed an average family. Has a catchy song! This ride has been around the block a few times (starting at the worlds fair in 1964-65, moving to Disneyland and finally ending up at the Magic Kingdom) it is a wonderful ride (because you move)/show - Alex Gamso
