EPCOT Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[TrainsOfDisney]

Hopefully they would give us the classic Mary and not the new one. Because it would be like having a Han Solo ride with that new guy.... whatever his name is.

Yeah I know what you mean... it would be like having a Star Wars ride with Darth Vader chasing after you... only with that new guy. :-(

LOL, you know what I mean.

At least Kylo had 3 movies as the character. Emily Blunt was her once and she's in (what feels like) a million other movies.

Oh I was agreeing with you! Not using one of the most iconic characters of all time is crazy.

James Earl Jones as Darth Vader and Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins are literally legends.

I'm holding out hope that in the Space 220 restaurant, every so often Wall-E buzzes across the screens faintly in the distance in space with his little extinguisher propeller

Absolute brilliant idea!!!!!

Picture if Mary Poppins became evil. She could take over England with her army of cartoon penguins.

You talk like we haven't done that yet. We know where to find a blonde wig.

Ever see the Broadway show? What she lets the toys do to those poor children is ghastly (“Temper, Temper”).

My fan-backstory for Mary Poppins is that she's a princess of Avalon. But, she was wickedly mean and selfish. So, the fae banished her to the mortal realm. She may only return if she learns compassion and humility by helping human children.

Without gaslighting them too much.

I LOVED Temper Temper! I was so sad when they changed it to “Playing the Game” - although getting to hear Laura Michelle Kelly sing an extra song partially made up for it ha.

So this thing is donezo, right? This isn’t a case of “we’ll come back to it later”?

Anything shelved can be taken out and dusted off.

^this. There's all sorts of rides in Disney Parks that began life earlier. The least we can say is that it's not in the works!

Nope, I've got a quota for singing and they usually pass it.

I got to go to the bathroom. Doooo youuuu want to come?

The stage show is definitely much darker, and stays closer to the books, than the movie. Over here in the U.K. they imposed this restriction:

“As an advisory to adults bringing young people, Mary Poppins is recommended for ages7 and up, children under the age of 5 will not be admitted into the theatre”.

the theater, great muppet movie ride, and Dck Tracy is donezo, things like mary poppins or bald mountain could eventually happen

they could make a really fun ride for mary cheaply....
do an indoor carousel in a round room... and you could build several of them (like theaters so capacity could be high)
and either paint the walls jolly holiday or do screens where it would be jolly holiday but changing.

And could fit in a really small area... if done right could be really cute, a people eater, and fun.. with short wait times

Please no...though I feel this was probably what they had planned...

if done correctly it would have been great... and we need more a-c attractions

Allllrighty then. It's good to see two good looking geniuses are on the same page.

We need more attractions period...C minimum... A was just for street cars...
EPCOT doesn't really need spinner attractions and off the shelf lightly themed carnival rides.... Think higher standard than 6 Flags...
