News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Bocabear]

Hope for a C.

That must mean it looks like a spinner... Ugh. How disappointing.

 

[marni1971]

Do you consider Snow White's Scary Adventures a C or a D?

C

Aren’t Spinners under the B range?

Hope for a C.

I'm not sure a C-ticket level darkride warrants interest from anyone interested in a Poppins darkride. Not something I'd hope for anyway.
A C-ticket "Mary Go Round" on the otherhand would presumably be the pinnacle of it's ride type. Not sure I like this news even though we've known for some time that a C was likely. Hoped that had changed.

What's ticket type is Mermaid again?

C

Ok, that's fine by me. Not everything needs to be the biggest, splashiest E. A charming C level Poppins ride would still be a great addition.

 

[Bocabear]

he said "Hope for a C" which would mean it is probably not going to be a C... So I would guess a spinner and/or meet and Greet....which I would consider an A or a non-attraction.

 

[CalebS]

A ride like Mr. Toad or Snow White would be nice for that area. A ride that isn’t an E ticket is probably best for that area

 

[Bocabear]

Ok, that's fine by me. Not everything needs to be the biggest, splashiest E. A charming C level Poppins ride would still be a great addition.

Why not? you are paying the biggest and splashiest price for admission...It is a premium park....why not expect a premium product?

It kind of depends. Does this mean more or less riding through a store front-window display with a bunch of fixed-expression, largely static Mary and Bert figures that perhaps wave an arm or turn their heads a little? If so, I kind of think people expect more from a new Disney attraction.

 

[RSoxNo1]

I would classify Maelstrom as a C. Are we looking at that level?

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

We talking pre '90s Cs of post '90s Cs?

 

[Haymarket2008]

If Fantasyland dark rides are C’s, that is EXACTLY what I’m hoping for for the Poppins project.

Based on this hopefully I wouldn't be disappointed:

Could one of our more google maps/photoshop inclined people (@MisterPenguin springs to mind,) be able to insert a show building the size of the Toad/Pooh and (separately) Snow White buildings back behind the UK and biting into the IG a tad? Might help for some to get a better idea of what we could be dealing with.

 

[PizzaPlanet]

I'd love a C-ticket level dark ride, it's something WDW could use more of. Sometimes less is more.

I won't claim to be a Google Maps expert, and I have NO idea how much of this land is actually available, but the area on the map below has a total sq footage of about 38,500 sq ft.

By comparison, here is the sq footage (based on Google maps measuring) of various other Disney dark rides:

Pooh's Hunny Hunt (TDL): ~33,400 sq ft
Winnie the Pooh (DL): ~15,700 sq ft
Little Mermaid (DCA): ~20,500 sq ft
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (DL): ~8,000 Sq ft
Haunted Mansion (WDW): ~43,300 sq ft

It should be noted that these are sizes of the show building only and do not include any outdoor que area or indoor queue sections taht are in separate buildings than the main show building.

Great job!!! Looks like we should be able to accommodate something pretty good in size. Marie

I believe this is more the area where it will go:

So, in the ballpark of 20,000 to 25,000 sq ft (to compare to the other show building sq footage I previously provided)
