News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[MisterPenguin]

So What IP is in the running? Mary Poppins, Alice, Peter Pan or something not discussed!

It's in flux. Insiders aren't saying.

Still don’t understand why such a seemingly small project has so much mystery surrounding it for so long

It probably isn't any specific obfuscation. Just that project leads have no idea what to do, and as such, the information getting to us is equally scrambled.

Is SE still in the timeline for improvements or changes?

Yes.

A bit of development hell.

I’ll take the car as part payment. And I’m never one to turn down a snack cheese

Man you guys have Bentley ads and I have an add for mobility scooters in the Orlando area!

Well, now that the IP is up for grabs again, let's all name every sing Disney IP related to the UK in some way... for the fifth time.

I'll go first: Star Wars: Ride of the Empire. Because the officers of the empire all have British accents.

A few posts ago I joked about the witch in Brave being Boo from MI, and the ride will ultimately be part Brave part Door-coaster - which it seems we've all been craving. It's obvious that without Brave, we get the MI Door Coaster ...behind each door is a child from a different UK country:

• Scotland.
• Wales.
• Northern Ireland.
• Anguilla.
• Ascension Island.
• Bermuda.
• British Antarctic Territory

This I would love but alas a pipe dream

If this is really dropping to a B (a non-Brave B) I am extremely disappointed. Hoping once again they re-evaluate their ideas.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Once again Disney shows its indecisiveness. I think in Marty Sklar's book Larry Murphy (who was head of the corporate strategic planning thingy) said that indecision was the key to flexibility!

@marni1971 do you consider a Carousel A or B Ticket?

 

[matt9112]

A bit of development hell.

why? I mean honestly why are things so Damn complicated.

 

[disneygeek90]

@marni1971 do you consider a Carousel A or B Ticket?

I think he's said before Dumbo is considered a B these days. So... not much different.

An indoor carousel with ever-changing chalk-drawn scenes (360 screenz) culminating into a finale "race" would be OK by me! A simple carousel however... that would be lame. And not worthy of adding, IMO. Regardless, here's hoping we get something more than a spinner.

It's interesting that Disney never made an announcement or even gave a hint that something was coming, now the insiders are back peddling on this never announced attraction. I guess they were "brave" to get people's hopes up. What's your thoughts @ford91exploder ?????

Edit: I don't believe anything until Disney officially announce it or there are actual permits filed.

 

[MisterPenguin]

When Brexit goes through won't they have to make a change to the UK pavilion since England will no longer be a part of it? And if so will that effect what IP's will be used, Mary Poppins is English but Brave is Scootish

England isn't leaving the UK. The UK is leaving the European Union. The UK consists of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. After Brexit, it will remain that way... unless Scotland and/or Northern Ireland leave the UK. If that happens, they can rename it "United Kingdom and Scotland."

Cool

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

As if an official announcement means anything. Lots of things have been announced then quietly faded into the dark

Very true. I’m still waiting for the David Copperfield to make his way in.

The Seaglass Carousel at New York comes to mind in terms of the ride being indoors.

Mary Poppins in on ABC at this very moment.
