The attraction artwork also features the image of a balloon floating up, like the balloons in Returns. It could be a combination of the two films.Agreed!! This is exactly what I think as well. The way they made the announcement...almost like it was THE big "surprise" of the Epcot segment, and with a musical number... and **** Van **** appearance....we're talking something bigger than a Meet and Greet or Carousel here. Also, if the attraction were Carousel themed...I'm certain Mary would have been riding a horse on the poster and not pictured descending onto Cherrytree Lane from the sky with her umbrella.
I hope it ends up being a dark ride based on the original. I love love Julie Andrews and the remake was so creepy.

For a single toilet maybe?showbuilding?
Look at the other artwork too. It's omitted there. I think it's part of something larger. But yeah, it could also be a toilet.For a single toilet maybe?
So do you know what “this is” though?Wow, I really like this announcement! With this and Rat next door, World Showcase is starting to be a dream!
And to confirm the attraction while keeping the details top-secret so they can later reveal. . .(drumroll). . . a carousel? Talk about a letdown.
Apologies for being out of the loop and not wanting to go back and read 300 pages worth of posts, but why did so many people think--and still think--this will be a carousel of some sort?
A carousel--even the most spectacularly themed one--would be underwhelming especially given the importance of the movie: many people think Mary Poppins is the best Disney film ever made (and there's also the sequel and the "making of" movie).

Now if the horses leave the carousel and gallop through the animated English countryside. . . that's something else altogether.
We think it because we have very reliable insiders, mainly @marni1971, who have hinted that is what we should expect. Maybe it's a spinner with some seriously plussed up elements but calling it a dark ride is setting yourself up for disappointment.Apologies for being out of the loop and not wanting to go back and read 300 pages worth of posts, but why did so many people think--and still think--this will be a carousel of some sort?

As far as I’m aware it’s still a type of spinner ride. I hope I’m wrong with this one.Do you feel you have the latest scoop on what is planned for the Mary Poppins attraction or is the information you have from some time ago??
This was personally my favorite announcement from yesterday...I'm really hoping not to be disappointed...
As always...any info is appreciated...
As far as I’m aware it’s still a type of spinner ride. I hope I’m wrong with this one.
It’s not a mini land.Like I said above though, seems weird they really announced it in such a way where I’m not sure if it’s a spinner could be, but I’m doubtful. Why would they announce a whole new mini land build up an attraction just to announce a spinner seems off.
It’s not a mini land.
From what I know and from what they’ve shown the budget seems to tally. Like I said I hope I’m wrong. I’d love a good old busbar ride.
Nah.Would the budget allow for a Carousel (in appearance only) with a platform that breaks away into dedicated ride vehicles as they move toward screenz similar to Rat or MMRR? Cause that'd be a nice departure from a basic spinner.
Nah.
