News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[EricsBiscuit]

I guess we're getting a lame Mary Poppins carousel. Lame.

An inside source tells me the new IP is Old Gregg

yeah, i know. you're very funky, gregg.

I agree with a B by reasonable assessment...why is it a C now?

I'm not even disputing it...just wondering why it is our standards are lower now? Just for discussion purposes.

Excellent question. I've never seen it as more than a 'B', personally. A spinner with very limited capacity, with basically no 'scenery' or show pieces or theming.

Wasn’t there a thought to replace Toad out in DL? Maybe they could bring it on back...

So, those fighting for Watership Down have made inroads, eh?

I agree... What a bummer....but you know there are people out there applauding....

I think Marni stating that Dumbo may be a C ticket nowadays is referencing how standards have dropped. For example, FEA, NRJ, and 7DMT have all had exaggerated ticket ratings in comparison to past standards. (Hope I interpreted that correctly!)

Edit: whoops I did get it backwards

 

[Bocabear]

So then if a spinner ride is a C ticket, what could possibly be a B Ticket? in the old ticket books it was for the Main Street Cinema or the Mike Fink Keel Boats....but it does list the Carousel as an A ticket....so if everything has slipped a space, it would just be a carousel....
Disappointing again...

He said the opposite

Dumbo used to be a C. I dare say nowerdays it’s be considered a B.

 

[Haymarket2008]

I’ve said it before, dark ride or bust.

Dumbo used to be a C and is now a B. "E" tickets are the highest rated attractions, with A and B's being on the low tiers. Dumbo demoted in it's "rating" since the 80s. Which means standards improved, not dropped.

What's less than an A ticket, -a? Give that to the carousel...

The Carousel used to be an A ticket....

Well, it'd be an A+

 

[larryz]

Well, it'd be an A+

I wonder if the A+ will have FP+...

strike that, reverse it

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory chocolate river ride, confirmed.

Standards may have changed, but no spinner should ever be greater than a 'B' ticket. Dumbo was a 'B' ticket, and should remain so until it's closed forever.

 

[Bocabear]

"B" ticket or "A:" ticket, looks like we are getting a very lame Carousel as the big new attraction...Such a shame...

It was a C ticket.
