News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Magic Feather]

My rough approximation as done on my phone:

, but with a little more push toward the sky liner and a little less in other areas.

Skyliner is the box, poppins attraction would land in the black circle, correct?

The area within the current UK border that comprises the garden, maze, and surrounding tree-berm is half an acre, shown in the white box.

The area behind the UK comprises the roadway turnaround (which @marni1971 said was going to be 'rationalised') and storage units abutting the IG Gondola Station is 1.1 acres, shown in the pink box.

So, you would have at most 1.6 acres to work with.

Trying to figure out the size of the attractions you asked for is difficult because they're housed in a large building. But I believe Mr. Toad is .3 acres and the entire building for Toad, Pan, and Alice is .6 acres. In the MK, Pan is .3 acres and IaSW is 1.5 acres.

Sorry if a C is a letdown. I did say a charming dark ride, no?

Personally, I’m fine by it. Not everything can be a quarter billion dollar E. I wish they were building a few Cs at DHS to fill out the attraction roster.

Would you say on the scale of say Alice in DL?

Definitely not a let down. I feel that a C ticket dark ride is the best medium of attraction for Poppins. It fits the sensibility. Anything much larger would feel a bit overblown, imho. This has me extraordinarily excited. It definitely “belongs” in MK, but I’ll take it.

Take your pick of Fantasyland dark ride. Although not Mermaid if you consider it one. No E-ticket queue for this project!

Absolutely agreed, I think a charming dark ride would work perfectly. Marie

So we are looking at a 3/4 minute dark ride?

Do you think they can get Meryl Streep to even agree to just 3-4 min? No time for Lin-Manuel or whomever is in the supporting role of Mary Poppins in the next movie.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

I guess I need to see Mary Poppins (haven't seen it before).

A C wouldn't be too bad, so long as they were clever about they do it. I just worry it will go more down the TLM or Pooh route where you end up going past brightly lit, barely moving plastic elements, with some cool things thrown in here and there. Particularly as this ride features mainly human characters, I hope they come up with something a little better than what we've been used to.

So will this be classic Poppins or sequel Poppins?

Aren’t they the same?

More like, “which voice actors?” I’d rather listen to Lin-Manuel than VAN DYK3...

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

No Streep please.

 

[ToTBellHop]

No Streep please.

That's how I feel toward the film. I LOVE Mary Poppins. One of my favorites. If Meryl Streep steals Emily Blunt's spotlight, I'll be really sad. I actually think Emily can pull off such an iconic role if she gets enough screentime.

 

[Haymarket2008]

I just don't seem them going the Mary Poppins Returns route. Why go for that when you have the Sherman Brothers songs of the original, the iconic design and look of Mary, and the fact that is is arguably Disney's most successful/famous live action film ever?

Not to mention figures from Great Movie Ride you can repurpose.

I get that, I'd prefer that. But this is the same company that decided to go First Order rather than Empire with SWL.

 

[EPICOT]

Will this be omnimover style or bus-bar style? I'm fine with either, but it'd be interesting to see a modern take on a bus-bar dark ride. When was the last time Disney built a classic busbar style dark ride?
