EPCOT Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[RobbinsDad]

Not that logic has anything to do with their decisions, but considering Scotland's intermittent moves to break from the UK, how does featuring an IP set in Scotland make sense for the UK pavilion long-term?

Benny Hill's Wild Ride. The theme music ALONE guarantees a 120 minute wait time!

Now, that would be worth not doing fastpass for! At least we know the end of the ride would be something like this:

Unfortunately Mary Poppins was already ruled out by Spirit and Martin

That makes me sad. I've dying to have a Mary Poppins ride somewhere in the parks. Disney's crowning acheivment and its not even represented anywhere.

I know nothing of this possible new UK-based dark ride, but I'm hoping it has something to do with a lit grail-shaped beacon...

@marni1971 - Is it safe to assume that this will be using an IP, presumably a Disney movie based IP?

Yes and yes.

 

[DisneyFan18]

Yes and yes.

Is there any hint you could give us to narrow down the list, please?

Afraid not.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Afraid not.

Hey, that's cool and it's important to protect your sources. You have given enough hints that the attraction will please some of the members here.

 

[No Name]

"Afraid not"... what's a word that means to not be afraid?

Brave ride officially confirmed!

I'm willing to bet the IP is at least tangentially connected to the UK.

 

[Just4Pics]

Afraid not.

Can you give us any hint about the ride specifics? Will it be indoors? A dark ride? Thrilling at all? Is is something an adult without children would be interested in?

Thanks for the info!

 

[doctornick]

If the ride has been decided/green lit, then I would hope we might see it announced at the Epcot 35 year celebration.

[PJBuckeye]

Yes and yes.

I think we should all be happy that we will have a trippy Alice ride in UK.

 

[Casper Gutman]

I missed a step here - is there reason to believe the UK attraction will be a dark ride? My impression was that our insiders were hinting at a flat ride.

And my guess is Alice. Unless Marvel has a Captain Britain film in the pipeline.

An Alice ride would be charming, but again, not quite the right note for EPCOT...but perfect for the Magic Kingdom...where the ip is only represented by the teacups...I do not understand why it is so hard for leadership to understand the difference between the parks and what is appropriate for each...
