The last we heard, it's still on the table, but doesn't have any definite dates tied to it.

Yes, definitely think more dark rides need to happen! Was the last one built Na'vi River Journey?

Yes. Technically, the new Rat ride will be fairly small scale (but big on SCREEEEEENZ). We'll get two larger ones in DHS in the next year or so. I'm always up for new dark rides, if they're done well.

For DHS, one is Runaway Railway, what's the other?

The massive dark ride in Galaxy's Edge codenamed "Alcatraz."

When it comes to Poppins and Brazil I strongly seek to support this Mantra. IDK if I'm lying to myself though

Okay not to be negative, but I thought this was on the flux again? I could have sworn @marni1971 stated that Coco in mexico was back on the table, and that the money would be either Coco or UK ride - with UK ride leading? Also, I thought stated Mary Poppins IP isn't locked again?

That's what I understand to be the case. It's kind of in limbo at the moment. It hasn't been abandoned, but there isn't much in the way of forward momentum.

Hmmm...
There was recently a troll on these boards that also had a Twin Peaks avatar. Not saying you're the same person, but...

Coincidence? I think not!
I'm guessing they're waiting to see how Mary Poppins 2 does in December. I dunno how I feel about this approach cause the ride should be based on the 1964 film and that film only. Makes no sense to depend on the sequel's success for this IMO.
Also I say it's only worth building if it's a suspended ride like Peter Pan. If you're gonna make it a standard track ride, what is the point? Plus I wanna see more suspended dark rides at Disney.

So was the MK Theater.
You need to teach yourself the concepts of 'rumors' and 'budget cuts'.
Or, you're just a returned banned user / sock puppet with a sick vendetta. You're not making any headway with whatever you think you're doing.

Oh, Honey Boo-Boo. That show was my favorite guilty pleasure until it imploded. Long live garbage Sketti!
... but RIP Mary Ride

My fear is twofold: If the Poppins sequel is a hit, any attraction we get will be based on it, rather than the classic film. If it's a flop, management will say, "I guess people don't like Mary Poppins," and we'll never get an attraction.
Both situations are pure speculation and only come from my personal neuroses.
