Well since we are so far off topic anyway. @The Mom don't hate me.

[britain]

You mean “COR blimey!”

The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him."

So has there been any updates on a MP attractions? Sorry, I'm lazy and don't want to go through 245 pages.

Nope.

I mean, I'm quite attracted to the new Mary Poppins (as I am to 1964 Julie Andrews). Does that count?

A euphemism for "God blind me!", in case anyone is interested.

I’ve no idea what the thinking is behind this now.

How are they so incapable of making decisions?

 

[SukaVayne33]

Is it just a Rumor that it was gonna be a dark ride & now its just gonna be a flat? I hope they do the dark ride, so much they could do with being a dark ride. I guess we wait and see when they or if they announce or say anything.

No. It was a plan.

 

[Frankiepopsicles]

@marni1971 Is a dark ride still one of the plans? Or have they definitely decided on a flat ride

Slip of the tounge or possibly my misunderstanding? But it sounded like Production Designer for Mary Poppins Returns John Myre let's it slip that he designed "the ride" as he said while looking for inspiration for the design of the new film during an academy conversation panel for Mary Poppins Returns.

I think that was a slip of a tongue indeed..

 

[Kman101]

I mean, you'd think the decades of success the original had, a ride is an absolute no brainer. It's baffling how undecided they can be. I imagine merch sales are playing a (one of probably numerous) factor in this and Coco. Just a hunch. Can they sell enough merch to justify a ride that hasn't already been built elsewhere?

Very interesting......I wonder if pre-production on the ride would have started that early prior to the film even being made. Regardless, I sure hope we get that dark ride.

 

[PorterRedkey]

Mary Poppins Strikes Back is already appearing on some end-of-the-year Top 10 lists.

Come on Disney, let’s pull the trigger on the Poppin’s dark ride!!!!

It sounded like he meant he got the idea for it before the film and then was now talking about the ride in present tense as if it was already an announced and done deal. And I want that dark ride as well Disney needs to commit already LOL
