Cole Walker said: It's so sad that Disney just trashed a beautiful ride like this. Sure it was deteriorating but that was their own fault. I would love to see some pictures of any props or other items besides the subs (Which I know ended up in a landfill) that survived the demolition of this remarkable ride. Click to expand...

It was a cool ride, back then. Really, it was hot, it smelled like a truck, and not that great of a view from the porthole - which was actually good because the things in the water were clearly fake.It did not only need to be maintained, but actually ubgraded. Yes, it was a iconic attraction, and quite innovative for it's time, but it either needed to go, or be upgraded.And yes, I understand the inconsistency of me being somone who hopes CoP never goes away - it too is old, run down, and no longer anything thrilling, but I like it, and I can be inconsistent.-dave
