I guess the time I rode Carousel of Progress and had to watch the first scene three times before being evacuated was my last ride of the original version.

The attraction will reopen in 2027 with all-new scenes and decades:

• 1969 — moon landing
• 1985 — Halloween night
• 1999 — New Year’s Eve
• “The Possible Future”
