[aladdin2007]

Oh joy another rarely used empty space!

actually its used a lot, the sad part is not for daily park guests.

I stand corrected Millennium Village unlike other empty spaces is used often however comma just not by park guests.

Still unfortunate and disappointing!

I heard 1 theme it could be EVERY possible maybe not
Marry Poppins.

A potential flat ride addition sounds great and is desperately needed but I hope it doesn't come at the cost of The British Revolution and the gazebo. It's great back there!

Dear Mr. Fitzgerald,

I hope this e-mail finds you well. Today, I am writing to provide inspiration for the proposed dark ride attraction for the United Kingdom Pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase. Please watch the following video clip and bring this scene to life:



Also, I kindly request the opportunity for guests to be chased by Ms. Price's nightgown. Moreover, they should be warned that she will not be held responsible for its behavior.

Kind regards,
Jim

Just a carousel for Poppins would be kinda disappointing, IMO.

This project is still on and could be gaining some speed. One to keep an eye on maybe.

Marni's just confirmed they're building a mini London Eye!

You know I honestly wouldn't even mind that… Maybe the World Showcase skyline could use a little kinetics! And imagine the view!

I wonder if Disney would even be able to do that legally, with the London Eye being basically a privately owned tourist attraction.

I'm just hoping they do something proper with Mary Poppins. It's an IP they've let be away from the parks for too long. Glad to hear whatever this attraction ends up being that it is picking up steam.

Any sort of elevation in WS would expose backstage areas all over the place. Here is one vote against the London Eye replica.

A carousel in Epcot seems like a good fit although I would prefer it as part of the American Adventure pavilion. UK would be a close second.

I think a carousel would completely undershoot the problem... Now if it was a steeplechase style ride that had a Carousel loading station...so you would essentially get on a carousel and then the horses would take off on a track through an English garden...something like that, it would be great, but just a carousel would seem a sad solution for a pvailion that has waited for it's unbuilt attraction since opening.

If Nessie can serve me my half-yard from the lagoon, that'd be sweet.

No carousel no London Eye.

Plus the gondolas will draw your eye anyway.

Well there goes the MP carousel idea.

Hmm...

 

[Chelsey Boren]

Where is the area for this new attraction? By where Mary Poppins meets?

 

[rushtest4echo]

As much as I'd like to believe everything being discussed has some merrit, this stuff is getting out of hand.

Brazil Pavilion
Russia Pavilion
New overlay for Mexico
New overlay for China
New ride in France
New attraction in UK

That's more being discussed than the entirety of changes that have been made to the showcase over the past 25+ years. Lets all get a grip.

What else is there? Double decker busses?
