That Omnimover in a circle ish ride system that they patented combined with the sets and projections of MMRR would kick some serious posterior.

Disney could almost make an entire park based on their animated features set in the UK. Lands/Attractions for poppins, great mouse, alice, 101, sword in stone, robin hood, peter pan, pooh, brave,,,and the list goes on no doubt..

Both, please. But, do this at the England pavilion as previously planned. Oh, and keep BaTB Live show at DHS

I think the fact that The Sword in The Stone is filled with stuff about education and learning, Merlin makes a brilliant example of an IP character that could nicely fit into EPCOT and have that edutainment aspect that the park has started to lack.

Heck, Merlin was even featured at one of the interactive exhibits at the Wonders of Life Pavilion.

“The Great Race” attraction at Lotte’s Magic Forest reminds me a lot Tony Baxter’s Jolly Holiday.
Did you guys see it?

Wrap the beginning around a spinning carousel and add some Poppins music- it's a perfect fit. Charming and sweet.
Low capacity but hey, they settled for that with Rise of the Resistance!

Show.
I think DHS should utilize multiple theaters with "rotating" shows so that they can bring in the latest movie for 5-7 years. I recognize that Mary Poppins isn't exactly a new movie though, at this point I'm just looking for a change.

Isn't that basically how they did it during the 90s? Although I think the theater they used for that no longer exists.

I don't think they ever really did that with shows, but they did do it with parades. I really like the idea of DHS being the go to spot for temporary attractions of brand new IP. A theater district and/or a blackbox attraction would allow for this.

They had a Pocahontas show that ran for two years, then changed it to a Hunchback of Notre Dame show to correspond with that movie's release. But they let that one run for 6 years and then mostly abandoned the theater until they tore it down.
Basically they did it once and then gave up.

You're right, the Premiere theater did have some show cycling for a bit, but it wasn't really defined as such. It was used for the Comedy Warehouse show as well.
Right now they have the Frozen / Superstar theater, the Mickey Shorts / Sounds Dangerous theater, Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid. If you want to throw in live action stunt show type things, technically Indiana Jones could be rotated to the latest production of stunt show should they want to go down that route.

The Indiana Jones Stunt Show is just tired at this point.. It really is time to use that space for something better Maybe an Indy themed coaster and mini-land. The space used for that theater, backstage and Quick serve restaurant are almost as large as the Toy Story Land plot...especially is you throw in the never used Sounds Dangerous and Superstar theaters... The park could still use more attractions.

I know we will never get it, as @marni1971 I am pretty sure stated US won't get it, but a Indy water ride using Shanghai Pirates tech would be soo great in that spot.

Indy def still deserves a good sizable presence in at least one of the parks (if they decide to movie him out of DHS). A grand adventurous boat ride would be glorious. Ima start willing it into existence.
