News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[imarc]

Can't wait until "Drink around the World" incorporates surviving a carousel at the end.

I'd suggest taking the top level if you can.

Wow...never thought I’d be excited for a carousel this sounds sweet. The screens could work very well here.

Now if they could do a carousel like in "Something Wicked This Way Comes" THAT would be amazing!

There is challenge I heard while attending UCF called "Drink around the world: Mission Space"

Going to take a guess based on responses and phraseology, that it’s the Mary Poppins Carousel.

Honestly this sounds like a rock solid addition to the park and I’m really looking forward to it’s release.

Hopefully they will be theming the surrounding facades as a miniature Cherry Tree Lane...

That would be amazing! Especially if they include Admiral Boom...

 

[rioriz]

If they go carousel route, there is an interesting thing they can do involving "screenz" as scenes...

Seeing back up lately just wanna leave this here from last year

If anyone still believes anything they read online, expect this presentation to be Epcot heavy. There should be something for Shanghai and something for Hong Kong, a few Marvel things for DCA (but don’t call it Marvel) including something I don’t think is “out”’yet - well not in the US (and it’s not Slingshot), boat stuff as well but plenty about Epcot. New CV film details. The UK project everyone’s waiting for. SSE. And the thirds of Futureworld.

Plus a few other WDW items outside of the berms. One of them just outside.

From the D23 expo thread ( @marni1971 I hope you don’t mind me reposting here)

I had not seen that so thanks for reposting it here. Can't decide if I want to be excited about what Im reading, or concerned. Will probably be a mix of both.

Cryptic messages are my favorite. Not even kidding!

Big PP? Uh, that's not forum appropriate.

Looking forward to D23. Of course it's during a car show so I'll be multitasking big time.

 

[Horizons '83]

There is so much potential with MP. In my head I feel like a ride system similar to Peter Pan would work as a dark ride. You sit on umbrellas (ride vehicles) that move up and down to the movies classic songs with rich theming, etc.

Do you mind?

I’m north Cheshire

 

[nickys]

Do you mind?

I’m north Cheshire

I thought it was all Greater Manchester now, innit?

 

[marni1971]

I thought it was all Greater Manchester now, innit?

Shhhhh!

Fun fact. Mail to my address written as Cheshire gets here quicker than the same address but with Greater Manchester.

Never let it be said I can't put 2 and 2 together. Big PP = Big D*** and Dick Van D*ke is over 6 feet tall. That coupled with the fake accent he has during the movie means that we're getting an attraction that revolves around Bert. Further, since Mary Poppins takes place in 1910, we can safely assume that Bert is deceased. Finally, we know that we'll be sitting on carousel horses. Thus, I believe this will be a reanimated zombie adventure shoot 'em up where we, the carousel riders, are armed with shotguns and have to shoot the encroaching zombie horde led by Bert while "Feed the Birds" plays gently in the background.

George... are you okay?

Peter Pan?

George... are you okay?

I think so. At least by the standards important to me, not those imposed by so called "people".
