Poppins please. Astounded no Poppins ride existed yet in any park. Not counting the AA in GMR.

Been saying the same thing for a long time. Poppins was Walt's crown jewel, won tons of awards, and was a worldwide box-office smash. Yet it has virtually no representation in any park. Meanwhile, Iger's projects get their own lands. Ridiculous.

They could update and repurpose the Bert and Mary animatronics in a Poppins ride 
I know this isn't the GMR replacement thread but I'm really disappointed we're losing the Oz scenes probably the most. What a great animatronic the Wicked Witch is. Such a shame to lose that ride
But I'd love a Poppins ride. Really wish we had one or were getting one.

Any idea when this attraction may start construction? And is the theme still being worked with?

@marni1971 Can you give us any more details about this ride? Will it be boat or coaster?
I don't know the final choice, assuming there is one yet.

Those aren't the options I know of.

I'm liking the idea of mr toads wild ride more and more! Especially after a stop at rose and crown. I love the feel of the pavilion and toad hall seems like it could blend in nicely. Gift shop at the end selling retro toad stuff? Done.

The Travers estate holds the rights with an iron grip, to the extent that I'm surprised they're allowing Disney to make a sequel. I guess they need the money, which is a similar reason Travers allowed Disney to make the original film.They could update and repurpose the Bert and Mary animatronics in a Poppins ride

About once a decade, the two parties renegotiate the terms of allowing Poppins M&Gs and merchandise.

Summary of what we know:
It's a ride of the B, C, or D variety.
Not a boat-based or a roller coaster (at least, Martin says that he doesn't think it is).

I can't remember if this was discussed already. Would they use the back half of the pavilion to build whatever they're thinking of? Or would it all be backstage areas being used? I've been backstage there quite a bit and it would have to be an awkward shaped building depending where it's going but there is quite a bit of room

Is a Fantasyland-style dark ride in the cards at all or should we not get our hopes up for something like that?

That's what I'm thinking. It's been said it's not a coaster, flat ride, meet and greet, or maze. I also remember someone saying it's not a show. I'm trying to think of what else it could be.
