News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Princess Leia]

You have to be almost as old as me to get that joke.

Well, maybe, maybe not. I wasn't alive during Beatlemania, but I love their music and have done a lot of research on them.

Anybody know how likely is this project is to go through? Is it close to green lit?

 

[cheezbat]

Assuming they got the real Paul ...

It's so funny you bring this up and I just happened to read this now. I JUST had a conversation about this with a coworker today. Lol!

He had bare feet walking across the crosswalk by Abbey Road, so obviously he is a ghost now.

Speaking of that, my wife constantly laments that they don't have an Abbey Road photo op in the U.K. Pavilion.

"What's an Abbey Road?" said everyone under 50.

Perhaps not everyone.

If that's the case, XM's new Beatles channel is going to fail miserably. I'll enjoy it while it lasts I guess. (I'm 30)

In my 30s, I know what an Abbey Road is.

Same. A lot of 30/40 year olds are familar with "old stuff" I grew up as a kid watching old reruns on Nick@Nite and listening to the oldies station (I loved a lot of the songs used in Guardians before they became popular from it all over again, for example). I also educate myself on things.

Now teens and even 20 year olds? That I agree with. Most probably don't know or care about a lot of that stuff. With technology at their fingertips 24/7 you'd think they'd educate themselves on things ... but they'd rather take selfies and snapchat and instagaram and facebook for likes. Shame.

I'm glad I was born when I was.

Wait? You want to end our friendship or something?

 

[MisterPenguin]

Y'all realize "said every X" or "never said any X" is a standard joke formula and not meant to be taken literally, right?

That's pretty much what I figured.

I don't think I'm running anymore. Somehow my ads are being generated for an 85 year old man. Wow, better clear my search history ASAP! Lol

 

[Marlins1]

I hate the Beatles. <runs away>

LOL - I wouldn't say hate but would take The Who, Stones or Zeppelin over them any day

 

[zakattack99]

I'm a 20 something and have been listening to the White Album, Sgt. Pepper, and Revolver in my car. Going to the beach this weekend and with all the talk here maybe switching a few out for Abby Road... also on the Paul comment we had a HS teacher that devoted half the year to explaining and talking about that... good times!

So if a Beatles ride is in the works I'm all for it!

 

[clemmo]

The Beatles could work imo they have much more staying power than Aerosmith over at rnr, however I don't think that's the direction they'd go with this. Probably a movie ip
