EPCOT Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Princess Leia]

Well.

One IP possibly leaves. Another looks like replacing it.

This project is still in flux.

Do you like the changes?

 

[TabulaRasa]

Wow! I sure hope Poppins is back on the table.

So no Brave Little Toaster attraction?

I'm curious if this leds any more credibility to Jim Hill's version of the rumor:

July 20, 2017: On the latest episode of The Unofficial Guide's Disney Dish podcast, Jim Hill and Len Testa discussed that the new ride coming to the United Kingdom Pavilion is expected to be a carousel themed around Mary Poppins. The ride is unlikely to be announced before Mary Poppins Returns debuts in theaters in Christmas 2018.

As far as I know things changed sometime after July/August

I have no idea if that's a confirmation or denouncement of Jim's information. Do you know the "new" IP to be something other than Brave or Mary Poppins?

I’m still trying to figure out the details myself.

Totally someone on but at the same time off topic- we were in Abracadbar the other night and their was a filing box with two drawers. One said “bedknobs” and the other said “broomsticks.” It made me think of this thread.

 

[MotherOfBirds]

An inside source tells me the new IP is Old Gregg

Will it still be a B or C ticket attraction? Or is something bigger in the works?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Sounds like they weren't brave enough to go through with what they had planned.

Slippery little suckers to nail down down, ain't they?

B ish I believe.

 

[jt04]

Should be an E Ticket. At least in the long term plans. They have the space.

 

[jt04]

B ish I believe.

It is a good option in the short term. But they need to also plan for the future.

 

[DisneyFan18]

B ish I believe.

So it’s going to be the Mary Poppins Carousel? I was hoping for something slightly bigger, now that the Brave attraction is out of the question could you share what it was supposed to be please?

 

[PizzaPlanet]

Could it be that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is being reconsidered?

 

[disneygeek90]

Sounds like they weren't brave enough to go through with what they had planned.

Well this makes me very sad.

 

[Just4Pics]

B ish I believe.

Can you give us an example of an existing B ish attraction, just so we know what to expect in terms of quality and scope. Sometimes I get confused about what letter every ride is.

Thanks in advance!
