Changes coming to Carousel of Progress at MK

I debated submitting this for news, but figured it might not make the cut. The added Walt Disney animatronic was teased not too long ago and now they've announced a full rework of the entire attraction that includes accelerating the initial scene to the 1960s. This will surely send some of the nostalgic Disney fans over a cliff. I was presently suprised that the comments in the Facebook group where I saw the story initially weren't too over the top. As one commentary I read pointed out, it's more evidence that Disney is putting effort into restoring older attractions: Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz LIghtyear, and Test Track to name a few.

I think it's more than overdue. Right now the present day is still bragging about laserdiscs and car phones.

For me the loss will be the Jean Shepherd narration.

Definitely news worthy, but I guess we'll keep it here.

This is long overdue. Even as a Gen-X'er, the first three scenes kind of blend together for me, and they're a little cringy with the typical male breadwinner and dutiful wife. I know they reverse it in the future-now-history ending.

And yeah, the nostalgia freaks are gonna lose it, and ironically putting Walt in it will only make that worse. You have to remind them that it was Walt who said the parks are never finished and always evolving.
