News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Clopin Trouillefou]

My reactions towards their announcements are typically positive/excited, I own that. The new stuff is just about always preferable to me. But if this is actually a carousel I don't know how the reaction is anything more than the biggest meh.

Dumbo used to be a C. I dare say nowerdays it’s be considered a B.

Are you excited for the ride that is now being built or would you have prefered the ‘Brave’ (was that actually the IP?) one?

The current suggestion is IP based too.

Would you consider the current suggestion something to be excited about? Would you consider a good addition for the UK Pavilion?

Hope everyone else is happy. I thought I was close to getting my Brave attraction. It's tough being a fan of less popular and underrated IP's

I’m with you in this one, I was excited for a Brave attraction (specially if it was a Shooting Ride)...

How did you make that assessment? Is there like a quadratic equation for parks or something?

This idea of ticket labels gets more and more outdated by the day...it's changed its definitions at least 3 times in the historical record...so it's user choice which one you use...is it not?

The decision to what they’re gonna build in the UK probably took longer than building the entire EPCOT Center

...it never passed the sniff test to me, so I think this is an expected move.

I suppose. But just hearing the IP tossed around couldn't help but get me thinking what if.

How did you make that assessment?

By checking what it’s rating was in 1981.

I think it’s down to personal preference whether to be excited.

Really hoping it's not a carousel.

I get that...but why move it "up"?

I'll back you up on this all day. Dumbo was a 'B' ticket in 1976/77 (According to 'Your Complete Guide to Walt Disney World - Courtesy of GAF', which I just happen to now have in my possession )

20K Leagues and Small World were 'E' tickets back then, for comparison's sake.

Monty Python attraction in UK pavilion, confirmed!

walk through attraction featuring the killing rabbit? By Jehova that would be a great attraction! *runs for cover*

I agree with a B by reasonable assessment...why is it a C now?

I'm not even disputing it...just wondering why it is our standards are lower now? Just for discussion purposes.

Thanks for the response. Although that's very disappointing. I was really hoping for something closer to Winne the Pooh rather than a spinner. Oh well.

Thanks again for all the info.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I honestly don't see much of an angle where a spinner or carousel would be built...what's the justification?

I get that they are looking to increase capacity to shift the 10,000,000 extra visitors a year that CMB has promised the shareholders will come to...but a spinner doesn't make a dent...they need at a minimum an omnimover type thing to generate any foot traffic/capacity.

strike that, reverse it
