I was under the impression it’s been covered in what’s currently being built. Their NFL taking the lions share. There seemed to be wires crossed in social media about something more being announced.

I thought that they were two different projects with different budgets
I’ve not been following it closely; I’ve been wrong before!

SOOOOO happy to hear that Poppins might be the decided IP for the UK area! I only hope that the attraction will be worthy and that its theme is derived from Walt's movie and not the unnecessary (and Streep-infested) upcoming sequel.
I think I might have a case of Streep throat...

Any more news or movement on the UK attraction?

Sounds like the only movement lately is monorail red with the doors ajar.
And like the other concepts, as soon as anyone found out about it, they took it off-line...

I wonder when this will be announced, maybe if a trailer comes for Mary Poppins Returns they might announce it at the same time (that is if the chosen IP is Poppins)

According to a post in the Epcot thread at Inside Universal the budget for this attraction (rumoured IP Mary Poppins) has gone up, since the Coco overlay has been put on the back burner.

Here’s hoping that is true. I still wouldn’t mind a Coco ride though.

Could the Bert animatronic in the Garner Holt piece linked below be for the UK pavilion attraction?

I can't imagine what that animatronic would be for....they would not go through that process just for fun....hmmmmmm

I mean, they're an animatronics company. They may produce them just to show "Look at what we can do."

No...The time when companies produced elaborate pieces just to show range are kind of dead...unless they did it for a trade show, but if that were the case they would not have produced a figure from a property that is licensed... Garner Holt also has enough track record behind them that they would not have to produce an elaborate audio animatronic figure just to show they can...
It could be for the Disney Family Museum, but seems awfully elaborate and expensive as a museum display piece....
Is there a Dick Van museum??

I know that is hysterical that you cannot type his name in....lolMaybe Martin can give us a wink a double blink
Almost a completely censored name.
Me and Dick Van Dyke are friends. We danced together.
