News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

Not in the Epcot experience today.

Imagine that

 

[Surferboy567]

RIP Poppins...was really looking forward to the initial proposal. Not the budget cut one.

How is Moana still in?!

Because:

a.) It will help sell merch.
b.) It is lower cost than a completely new attraction in the UK. It's just really heavy land and waterscaping, when you think about it.

and they will probably hack it down to something smaller than it was going to be, to save money.

Yeah I understand how, but... how?

Other site has a quote from Disney. Essentially states that like other businesses, covid has led them to reexamine choices in spending and has "delayed" Mary Poppins and spaceship earth

The wording is they’re “paused”, “postponed” and being “re evaluated”.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Remember - I believe officially the Main Street Theater is still “paused” as well.

Not disappointed in the decision. Holding out hope for an E ticket someday and now that can be put back on the table eventually.

Alice, PPF and Poppins all could work. Mr Toad also.

Hmm... Peter Pan was a C ticket in 1975. When did it get upgraded to E-ticket level?

Lack of consumer intelligence...in a nutshell.

It’s classic...and a slow moving line...but it has never justified lack of new investment/higher prices.

First as armchair imagineering but lately as a new add in tokyo.

BTW, those doubting we could see more e tickets in WS, the response to Rat just might change priorities.

BTW2, WS needs a thrill ride such as a coaster. IMO.

I personally would not class Ratatouille as an E-Ticket. Sure it will be very popular, but it doesn't offer that level of thrill or cutting edge ride system/technology that an E-Ticket is supposed too.

I've been on Ratatouille many times, and it's ok, but the 3D really doesn't work well, looks blurred, you can see the animation sequences end their cycle, and get ready for reset. I think people will like it, but I'm concerned that expectations are a little high for Rat.

It's a borderline call. Certainly will be an E for younger guests.

Some have suggested it may be a bit more technologically advanced than Paris but not sure.

I think it will draw crowds and hopefully a lot of to the pavilion. Then it could have a domino effect around the WS. In the long term.

If only Germany built their water ride. Wasn't there a proposal for an Mt. Fuji coaster?

I believe so. Heck even Japan actually still has the show building i believe. Im all for them putting well thought out attractions into WS, and that was the original plan, but this one didnt seem like it was going to be any good either way, so im kinda ok.

Fuji became Everest per rumor.

I wished they did back in the day, no IP would have been shoved down our throats.

AK needed that addition badly.

They’re not building a damn thing, kid. For awhile.

Pay close attention to the recession playbook. It will help you train Jedi down the road
