News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[MickeyMouse10]

Saying that "Pirates", "It's A Small World" and anything else with a boat is the same thing is ridiculous. The atmosphere and music make them vastly different.

If you were to say "Fast and the Furious" and "King Kong" I think that would be a different story. Because the vehicles are just alike and it just uses screens for most of it.

If by "develop" you mean "invented," then remember this photo...

This photo is why I kept saying Soarin' ride tech is all in house. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see my buddy Mark with an erector set for the FoP ride system

The point was not to derail this thread. All I was saying is I would like to see some originality in the Mary Poppins ride, something that has been woefully lacking in many rides lately and nearly all non-E-tickets.

Alright let's get this thread back on track. The ride is confirmed a peter pan ride system @marni1971

Both pairs of examples use the same ride system.

Both pairs of examples are vastly different experiences due to music and atmosphere. And visuals.

Yes, that's my point.

I'm replying to someone who thinks just because rides have the same ride system, they're the same thing

Attractions of smaller scope are also normally accompanied by a much smaller budget than their E-ticket counterparts.

With that in mind, a flashy new ride system will likely suck up a larger percentage of a C-ticket’s budget than it would an E-ticket’s, and could result in substantial cuts to the guest experience to make that budget work. Re-using an existing ride system could allow more room in the budget for a nicer queue, or an extra scene, more animatronics, etc.

 

[MickeyMouse10]

Yes, that's my point.

Yep, I know. I'm agreeing with you my man.

Just because Harry Potter and Catcher in the Rye are both books with words doesn't mean they are the same.
Just because a Ford Pinto has seats doesn't mean it's a Ferrari.

A ride that uses a ride vehicle is just another version of a ride that uses a ride vehicle. They're all basically just the same thing.

Ahh but not all "attractions" use a ride vehicle. Could be something crazy innovative like Enchanted tales with Belle, Swiss Tree house, or Path of the Jedi!

That falls under "stuff you look at." Same things.

Like the cruise lines and Its a Small World...I wont spend a week on a boat that just goes through all the countries in seven minutes and has annoying earworm music. Both are boats, so I assume they are the same.

I all honestly, I think they should convert the Tree house into the line for the jungle cruise. Would make it a lot more interesting

Screw people with mobility issues. No cruise for you!

I can't tell if you are joking. Lots of queues in theme parks are problematic, to one degree or another, for those with mobility issues, an issue which is handled with alternative routing to the load area, and not by denying boarding.

I highly doubt in 2019 that they would use a narrow path up and down a tree for a queue.

Probably one of the reasons this attraction has been left mostly unchanged. To build something of similar intent in 2019 would have none of the quaintness and scale it has now.

BINGO!!!

I think it's awesome that France and the UK are getting attractions. It finally gives us something to do on the right side of World Showcase.

 

[Steph15251]

Ummm... France already has a short movie attraction, plus the acrobats. UK has concerts. Canada has the 360 theater, plus there is another concert stage in between Canada and UK.

There is always room to add more ,I think itlay ,Germany,Japan all need some kind of attraction.
