News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[HauntedMansionFLA]

I wonder if the cherry trees will be real, and therefore bloom once, or be designed to be in a constant bloom!!

I do love blossoming cherry trees. My property is lined in them.

Fake blossoms that glow at night

This should give you a good idea about what is new and what is existing. In that concept, the only thing that is truly "new" are the three building facads for the Cherry Tree lane homes. Everything else is already there. You can also see that once they add those three building facades, there isn't much room behind them without impeding on access roads around the World Showplace.

Thank you so much CL, this is perfect and I completely understand it. I do fear for this as there isnt a lot of space to deal with in back of that area unless they go over the access roads and into other areas which seems really unlikely. It is a shame though, as this could be something truly great using either of the two Mary films or a combination of the two. I hope they surprise us all. Marie

@marni1971 Another question, you have any idea when they are going to break ground on this? Or even when they may announce the attraction?

Nix the maze and they can wrap a building there for an old Fantasyland style ride...

@danlb_2000 any info on this one that you have seen? Marie

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Maybe they will use the Shanghai Pirates technology!!!!!

For a hint of movement, they removed the Fast Pass sign that was there for what was going to be a Pooh M&G. It sat right at the corner of where the Banks' house will be.

I just remembered there were animatronics for Mary Poppins on The Great Movie Ride...huzzah! They must be going back here :')

All of those animatronics are going into SSE

Imagine the Thank the Phoenicans scene but in the darkness of SSE the Alien animatronic is just hovering above and glistening

In returns that is the “nursery” area where jack and poppins talk, and the kids break the bowl. Where they then enter the Royal dalton bowl. Maybe that means something...

 

[Sped2424]

It was a sequel.




Everything in the art points to MPR.

Here's Jack and MP from MPR with a balloon...

The Mary in the poster is from MPR. The kite is the patched up kite from MPR....

I am fine with the land being focused on the sequel. I will say this MPR was the best live action musical I have seen since Enchanted and Chicago I loved it that freaking much.

Oooh that got me thinking... What if it's a flying-type attraction, similar to Peter Pan. You "take off" from the second floor and fly!!
One can dream..

I was just thinking that I guess it makes sense this has taken longer to get off the ground since they are developing a new ride, the first ever ride based on the Mary Poppins IP.

Ratatouille is a clone so that was an easy sell. I'm excited for the France expansion to open, but that was announced in 2017. I don't want to wait 2 more years for the new UK expansion.

I really hope we see construction starting by the end of this year.

 

[Magenta Panther]

Oh, if it's going to be based on the unnecessary sequel, then eff this ride. That would be like building a Wizard of Oz ride but basing it on the awful Return to Oz flick instead of the original 1939 film. Man, Iger's hatred for classic Disney knows no bounds.

Yet another letdown from D23!

 

[Magenta Panther]

I hope it ends up being a dark ride based on the original. I love love Julie Andrews and the remake was so creepy.

And pretty much a flop. Practically imperfect in every way!

I find it weird that as I’m reading this thread my daughter started skipping around the noise singing “oh it’s a jolly holiday with Mary”
(1. She’s in the other room 2. She can’t read yet and no idea I was reading this)
Weird.

Unfortunately, the lovely score from the original film will have no place with this crappy new attraction. Too bad.

It was not a flop. It made money, and then buckets on home video.
