Plus the gondolas will draw your eye anyway.

When the gondolas were initially announced on the various discussion boards, my initial concern was how the skyline would be affected around World Showcase Lagoon and the neighboring resorts. I just imagine the gondolas towering overhead, poorly fitting the landscape.

I hope they won't be that high. Certainly not until they cross LBV drive.

Would be cool to get a big stage show (with live actors) at EPCOT as the UK has always had theater as part of it's rich history. Build a replica of the facade of one of the many famous theaters in the UK with a large, modern theater inside (not unlike the Hyperion at DCA) than offer a theme park/abbreviated version of Broadway's Marry Poppins.

Just resurrect the 1982 plan.

Here are the UK IPs being used at WDW at this time (if anyone finds any others, let me know and I'll update the list):
  • Mary Poppins (DHS, is a character at Epcot & MK)
  • Peter Pan (MK & Epcot- topiary)
  • Alice in Wonderland (MK & Epcot- is she still there?)
  • Winnie the Pooh (MK & Epcot)
  • The Sword in the Stone (MK)
  • Brave (MK)
Here are the UK Disney IPs not currently being used at WDW:
  • Bedknobs and Broomsticks
  • Robin Hood (while I have many pictures of me and my sister with characters in the 90s, it looks like they've gone the way of the dodo)
  • Narnia
  • 101 Dalmatians (used to be at MGM)
  • Valiant (doubtful that it will make an appearance)
  • The BFG
  • The Great Mouse Detective
  • The Black Cauldron
  • Candleshoe
  • Darby O'Gill and the Little People (technically Irish, but starring Sean Connery!)
Toss up:
  • Mr. Toad (shows up in cameo spots in Pooh and Haunted Mansion)
  • Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (MK)

Thanks for pulling together. If I had to put my money on anything, it would be 101 Dalmatians. There currently isn't any attraction featuring it, and Disney is releasing "Cruella" in 2018 after all. Seems to line up.
