News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Thebolt]

Quote: Keep an eye on
Translation: It will be a replica of the London Eye

Not remotedly plausible that the world no.2 would let the no.1 theme park operator make a copy of one of their most iconic attractions.

As much as I'd like to believe everything being discussed has some merrit, this stuff is getting out of hand.

Brazil Pavilion
Russia Pavilion
New overlay for Mexico
New overlay for China
New ride in France
New attraction in UK

That's more being discussed than the entirety of changes that have been made to the showcase over the past 25+ years. Lets all get a grip.

Uh, switch Russia out for Spain. I don't think there's a whole lot of serious Russia talk going on.

One to keep an "I" on...... Ireland is coming!!

No carousel no London Eye.

Plus the gondolas will draw your eye anyway.

Good. Then my hope of a retro Centennial steam punk multi-level carousel of Americana for the American Adventure lives on then.

 

[jt04]

I think a carousel would completely undershoot the problem... Now if it was a steeplechase style ride that had a Carousel loading station...so you would essentially get on a carousel and then the horses would take off on a track through an English garden...something like that, it would be great, but just a carousel would seem a sad solution for a pvailion that has waited for it's unbuilt attraction since opening.

IMO every pavilion should have a B ticket and E Ticket or C and D ticket. WS is so underutilized.

I thought only 3 of these were seriously in contention. Brazil, France and UK. I thought everything else was just echo chamber rumors starting from the board itself.

How do I break this to you...

I didn't say Russia was coming.

Marni's just confirmed an Alice labyrinth!

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Hmm...So tell me Marni is it pathetic that I look for clues? For instance...when you say 'banded' could there be a 'band' involved in this non-definitive concept/theme?

I think he meant to say bandied about meaning ideas are being discussed as opposed to banded like in the Beatles

Indeed. The Queens English and all that. Trust me, there's no hints in what I wrote today!

 

[UpAllNight]

101 Dalmations would be my preferred choice.

Who doesn't love a pooch? And cruella would make an awesome AA

Just a dumb Yankee question......in a few years, after " London bridge falls" will it be the King's English?

 

[TabulaRasa]

@marni1971 if this attraction gets pushed through, will it be IP driven?

Agreed to an extent; it's time for WDW to get a LOT of attention. Sounds like they recognize it from above too. But you are on the "rumors" (and news) forum ... a lot of these may happen, may not .... it's still fun to discuss. I don't know that we all need to "get a grip" LOL

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Hmmm...carousel was my best guess, but with that ruled out, I have no clue what's coming.

 

[Kman101]

This I'm with you on. WS is completely underutilized. Well, so much of WDW, the blessing of size, is underutilized ....

Yes, the phrase changes to match the gender of the current monarch.

I'd be surprised if it isn't. Poppins has been mentioned (naturally) but I don't believe it's a front runner.

 

[alissafalco]

My guess is some kind of show along the lines of CBJ or Tiki, with whatever IP they end up choosing. Pan maybe?
