My latest guess -- The London Taxi Dance, starring 20 London Cabs that dance around to the sounds of British bands, using the same technology (such as it is) as Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters...

Who said it's not a dark ride? I would bet heavily that it's going to be a dark ride.

Is it too much to hope it's a 101 dalmatians ride where I get to pet 101 dalmatian puppies? Although that would be much better than a B ride in my mind. Anyways, I'd be super excited if it were 101 dalmatians or a number of other things. I like Brave, but as my avatar suggests I'd be really sad if Brave gets a ride before Tangled (yes I know that's not British, I just mean in the parks in general)

Last I heard, it appeared to be a done deal (but the same could be said for the Brazil pavilion and the EPCOT resort hotel). I wonder if there will be announcements around 10/1 to pretend that they give a (blank) about EPCOT's 35th anniversary!

It is NOT Poppins. This fanboi rumor that one online 'personality' keeps trying to spread is not accurate.

I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but will this ride takeover the area where they do the British Revolution concerts? After all my years of going to Epcot I never knew about them and once I found out about it I try to see them any chance I get. It's so good and always seems crowded when I'm there with everyone really enjoying it! Would be sad if it went away.

Its actually one of highlights after a long day at the parks, grab an Inns and Gunn and watch the British Revolution show. Good times in my mind.
I don't believe so but can't say for certain.

Right, that was my point - Given Disney's proclivities these days it's a pleasant surprise to see that, given process of elimination, they are presumably going to use an IP that is not as "current" as Poppins will shortly be. It would have been easy for them to go with Poppins with her new movie coming, but since they aren't they must be pulling an older rabbit out of the hat.
Any hints as to what that rabbit might be, 74? Or at least what era he's from?

Thanks Spirit. I really wish it was Poppins (just so Disney can reuse the GMR set), but I guess it's not to be
So, we're down to maybe 8 Disney IPs to guess? 9 if you throw in Bedknobs and Broomsticks (which I know isn't a real choice in 2017).

Here's a thought- since Disney is trying to reboot the Black Cauldron, and that has a quite a bit of Celtic influence, maybe it's that?

I doubt it? Though I do want to know what happened to the terrifying Horned King AA that used to be over in Japan.

Brave could be the best bet, I think. As someone from the UK, I have always found it strange that other than some Rugby shirts, there isn't any Scottish or Irish influence in the UK pavilion. Having Brave in there could do that. I have seen rumours elsewhere that it is under consideration but I have no idea what sort of attraction it could be. I would prefer Alice or Brave to Poppins, for sure.

I really wish HD cameras were commonplace back then so we could get a better look at him. "Terrifying" is very appropriate here.

Actually, any decent recording would be nice (with English subtitles). The ones I've watched are exclusively in Japanese.
