DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Little known Disney history fact.....the reason Walt designed the COP in a circular shape is because it resembles a cinnamon roll from outer space. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I absolutely LOVE Carousel of Progress. I will even say it is my favorite attraction in all of the "World". Yes, I wish they would do something new with it. I'm even thinking instead of updating the final scene, they could add an additional scene and make load and unload in the same theater. Perhaps add another 30 seconds to each scene so that unload/load has a bit more time. Yes, they are doing so much more with technology nowadays, but this attraction is one of the last few around that he was personally involved in, and that makes it special to me. fladogfan aka Gretchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 You gotta admit, this quote could have easily come from a Fort manager. "Around here ... we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious ... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." They don't leave anything alone.....there is no value given to tradition......they try new things just for the sake of change and putting their "manager stamp" on things. I stand by my answer.....Jose Mola. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I heard on the grapevine that Doug Lord was back at the Fort Doug Lord is still shown as GM of the water parks and mini golf.Doug Woolever, who was one of the Duty Managers at the Fort, which I believe is the Doug that the grapevine is talking about, is also still shown as a Duty Manager at the water parks & mini golf. He left when Doug Lord left and reports to him at the water parks.Doug Lord was the GM for both the WL and the Fort.I heard the same rumor. If the second Doug is back at the Fort, it hasn't been updated on "The HUB" yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
