That’s a lot of pressure on you

I just make it all up.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

It’s not. Thankfully.

Is it going to be cardboard with black light and mannequins?

It depends what ride system it gets. And what budget.

If it looks anything like these I’d queue up giddily:

Another problem with Mermaid (aside from it being a book report ride) is the ride path. You go AROUND all of the scenes and never THRU any. There is never a moment where you feel as if you are in the middle of the action. It’s almost like you re watching a streaming movie that slows down or pauses while on a slow moving ride vehicle.

FTFY to account for the plastic fish glued to the wall.

If they would just rebuild Toad in WS UK I swear I'll get 'Iger > Walt' tattooed on my forehead and will never speak ill of WDW again.

Cheap and tacky.

Edit: aside from Peter Pan.

The more I watch videos like these, the more I hope that Poppins will have updated ride tech and projections:

Lol.

Guys... don’t aim too high.

 

[Princess Leia]

Guys... don’t aim too high.

So... pre-update Alice or something more in the line of Toad?

Or charming and timeless.

So a 60 year old C ticket Is aiming too high? Yikes.

I love the old FL style dark rides and I think it would be great if they used them as inspiration for the Poppins ride. But I also think they should take it a step further so that it’s a modern version of the old FL style C tickets. Maybe in Poppins case with the ride system. Like Baxter’s idea with the horses that go flying off the carrousel.

So far aside from Roger Rabbits Cartoon Spin (which is 25 years old so it’s not precisely modern) I think Frozen Ever After is the best modern take on the old FL dark rides(eventhough it’s a boat ride). Although their does appear to be too much dead space in a few of the scenes.

Disclaimer: I have only seen a ride thru on YouTube of FEA.

TBH if a 60 year old C ticket is aiming too high, I would rather see an elaborate Carrousel / strong B ticket. I’d rather have the best B ticket than the worst C ticket.

@marni1971 is Mary Poppins still supposed to be for Ratatouille, what Gran Fiesta Tour/Coco is for Frozen?

There will be a more striking disparity here as Kitchen Calamity is a bona fide E ticket.

So my brain kept reading ‘calamity’ as ‘cabaret’ for some odd reason, and I was trying to figure out how I missed the news that Kitchen Cabaret was coming back.

I need a nap.

I actually saw that attraction as a 19-year-old. Saw it with my best friend from high school. We still cringe...."Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit! Veggie Fruit!"
