News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[ParksAndPixels]

So mods, feel free to remove this post since it is only partially related to the thread, but since we're talking about a Mary Poppins ride in the UK pavilion, I'd love to share a link to a version of the attraction I'd love to see (but will never happen) and is specifically designed for that location that I just finished working on. I think you'll enjoy it.

This is amazing! Even the concept-level idea (no offense intended), made me way more excited having seen this than what any of the coming additions at EP will offer! I loved this movie and wished Disney would do this one right and not cheap out. I’d take this over the RAT any day. Nice work!

Well this is promising... Maybe it will do well enough for them to decide to go back to the Dark Ride proposal... https://deadline.com/2018/10/disney...s-wows-exhibitors-first-screening-1202482082/

Mark my words... That's not how the Ticketing levels work.

A D+ is nearly an E which is the best level. The fancy spinner we're expecting is not likely to be at that level.

I'm really sorry about yesterday's post because I meant to put C-ticket and D-ticket and had a typo... thought we were back at school with the grades... lol!

Please Disney... the uk pavilion could use a solid ride that can bring the nostalgic crowd and younger crowd together... I'm all in favor of a dark ride!!

The theatre facility is staying. Thankfully.

Definitely.

Is the millennium tent considered UK only or could it become an expansion pad for a new country in the future?

In the past, @marni1971 has said any space can be recycled, including the M.Tent. But, obviously, they'll try to use the empty ones or maybe sacrifice the Sommerhus first.

I actually liked the BFG. At least it did well in the UK.

I liked it as well.

Since Roald Dahl is on every school’s reading list, it was bound to do well here. We took the whole of primary 2-4 to see it at a schools screening. He’s hugely popular; we just had our annual Roald Dahl Day at school last month.

No, yes and why?

I just want Disney to actually make an announcement in regards to this. Feels like we've been waiting forever for news.

Also, I thought I had read that construction was expected to start soon. Is that accurate or am I just imagining things?

 

[jt04]

No, yes and why?

Just thought it odd.

Roald Dahl Day must be the UK equivalent to Dr Seuss Day aka "Read Across America Day" in the US.

I do have the second post in it. And (a few dozen) more.

So, to your knowledge, is the spinner the current planned attraction, are they back to the Dark Ride, or are they completely undecided on this?

Nothing new to report

 

[disneygeek90]

Still nothing to report on this in almost a month? Feels like this is just falling to the waste side as well.

I have heard that British Revolution, the band in the UK Pavilion is going to be ending it's run there. Could this be in favor of a new attraction build? I have heard rumors to that effect but nothing I'd hang my hat on. Marie

Sorry, I am trying to be polite, but the phrase is "falling to the wayside".

 

[wannabeBelle]

Thank goodness. Maybe they'll bring in a replacement that doesn't sing the same tired, overrated, UK songs all the time.

That isn't exactly the trend though. Some new groups were brought into Canada over the last year or three. Some of them sing the exact same songs as other acts who were there. Not exactly new or different. I hope that the music act just gets moved, as they do seem to be fairly popular. A lot of the entertainment in EPCOT is what makes that park so special. Marie

Interesting.. lol. Waste side sounded good too
