News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[jaxonp]

I can see a mary poppins carousel going back in the garden.. that would be cheap and easy. Bob's likey.

I worry that any new Mary Poppins attraction going forward would be based on the new movie and not the original.

Same. But I feel that it would be at least a marriage of both, if not something more neutral like the original book’s illustrations. One would hope that, arguably, their most famous live action film would win out over an adaptation of the sequel.

 

[...it's a yungle]

Im dizzy!!!! Marie

Me thinks because there are too many chefs, and not enough cooks, in the House of Mouse kitchen

@marni1971 Any chance of this being done for the 50th? Marie

There was an IP based dark ride. Then a possible whip or carousel of the same IP. Then a dark ride again. Then another IP came along. Then it became a carousel. Then possibly a dark ride again.

If you spin around more than 4 times...you have zero shot at the donkey

What does "the 50th" have to do with this one? Unless they're gonna move the whole place to Anaheim...

Last I heard (recently) was 2020.

Stop laughing.

Hopefully they realize that’s less than 3 years away.

Only takes the carnies a couple of hours to set up the carousel.......

 

[Kman101]

Let's hope it stays a dark ride ... 2020? They better get cracking ...

Very happy we aren't getting a Brave whip ride. They'll never learn, will they? From dark ride to whip to dark ride to carousel. JUST SPEND THE MONEY DISNEY! LOL

I'm assuming this is where the Coco funds come in?

Ratatouille is supposed to open in 2020 too, right? They’ve already started clearing land for that, so if they want the UK attraction open at the same time, that really proves the lack of intricacy.

 

[Kman101]

2020 makes sense for a carousel or whip ride I imagine. But I guess they could get it done in two years if they really wanted to. I guess we'll see.

Any idea when this becomes a go and we hear something about it?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Huh?

See I have this "theory"...that in fact no "yearlong celebrations" will ever return to wdw unless in the most superficial of forms (signs, pins and tshirts)...

It's just a shot in the dark guess...I'd bother to look at when they had them, who was in charge (specifically...who authorized them and did the preplanning several years out), and how the wdw clientele has behaved since as opposed to the Anaheim crowd, and what would be gained from doing another...but I'm lazy and haven't bothered to study it.

When's the last time they "wanted" to get anything done, my man?

"Lands" with minimum attractions and food take 4-7 years...while clones are currently going at 3+ clips...

Seems awful "deliberate" to me...Comcast determines the wdw construction schedule much more than "guest demand"...as I have no doubt you are aware

Well Bob uses the potato clock (a custom one...it only says "Pre-retirement" and "stock selloff" on it...so it's simplified), and the spuds lose their juice after awhile...

Someone might need to sneak in their and swap in a new red bliss soon.

 

[jaxonp]

Yea- I’m gonna need universal to start pumping out new attractions every year like they were...
