EPCOT Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion
- Thread starter TabulaRasa
- Start date
I'd assume the AA is probably a showpiece to be displayed at the fairly new Dick Van Dyke Art Foundation. But I guess anything's possible. Good likeness on the figure!

Like I said, Mr. Van Dyke and I are friends.
And I want to remain friends with the boards' mods, too.

Do you know if the Garner Holt DVD animatronic is for the DVD art foundation?

That is shocking to me. Poppins is by far the more popular/steadfast IP of the two.
No, I mean I don’t know!

Even though this hasn’t been announced I just hope it doesn’t end up getting shelved like the MK Theater
I think someone at TDO woke up and realized the problem with MK isn't under-capacity, it's that the other parks are woefully underdeveloped.
I would say like DAK, DHS and Epcot. Each one of those parks leaves a lot to be desired considering how big they are, how old two of them are, and how large crowds have become lately.

AK still only has 8 rides I think, plus live shows.
Dinosaur
Triceratops
Primeval Whirl
EE
Kali
Safari
FoP
NRJ
Plus the train.
Don't get me wrong, I love AK, but in terms of rides it is still under-developed. Especially when you consider how big it is.
And yes, I do realise DHS will have pretty much the same even after SW:GE is open, plus the train, plus Toy Story. But it's a tiny park in comparison.

There’s more to the park than just rides.

Yes...Who doesn't enjoy paying ~$100 for a festival.
On a more serious side, while I enjoy theming, walking around a park/land only goes so far, I want to be entertained whether it be attractions, shows, and other entertainment(street performers, etc...).
I haven't seen AvatarLand yet, but after 30-45 minutes of walking around admiring the land(after seeing the two attractions), I'm guessing I'd be ready to move on.

In fairness, there is more to every Disney Park other than rides. Slowing down and experiencing all the offerings is really enjoyable.
(I’m not excusing the rate of development. They need to add multiple rides to each park.)

Yeah. That's why it's my favourite park.
But sadly, to many people, it seems that rides are all that count. And on that basis it's under-developed.

I was referring to Animal Kingdom which does not have festivals.
Besides the 8 rides listed in the post I quoted the park also includes:
1 train
Rafikis planet watch with its exhibits
3 live theater shows
1 nighttime show
1 3D attraction
2 elaborate animal trails
Hundreds of other animals to see around the park
Not to mention atmosphere entertainment, character greetings, an extensive children’s play area. And the best themeing at any domestic theme park.

It'd take more than 30 minutes to stroll around the park.
And the Carnivale in the evenings is fab. So is Harambe. Ever heard the sounds coming from the windows? And how many animals have you managed to count and identify around the Tree of Life?
