News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Timothy_Q]

Could they be turning the WoL into a permanent festival space so that they could tear down the Millennium Pavilion thing by U.K. TO BUILD Poppins?

There’s space for an attraction in the UK without needing to get rid of World Showplace

Could they be turning the WoL into a permanent festival space so that they could tear down the Millennium Pavilion thing by U.K. TO BUILD Poppins?

Insiders have indicated that an actual attraction is being considered for WoL.

I would LOVE a Fantasyland style dark ride.

I would prefer a Peter Pan style dark ride...

B is a subset of A, so the statement is still true.

 

[DisneyGentlemanV2.0]

B is a subset of A, so the statement is still true.

Not quite. A is the subset of "things that convey sweaty human bodies".

I can confirm with great certainty that there are many "things that convey sweaty human bodies" I would not like to see in this location.

I would LOVE a Fantasyland style dark ride.

Need more of these without screens.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Need more of these without screens.

Actually there's very few *rides* that are screen based in WDW...

MK​

none, not even half way​

Some things to note:

• That's only about 15% of the rides at WDW that use screens
• Nemo and Gran Fiesta represent the worst of screen usage with framed TVs. *That* is what we need to avoid.
• Aside from Nemo and Gran Fiesta, the others use screens appropriately for simulators and in conjunction with great set pieces or fantastic rides:
  • four (and only four) screen-based simulators
  • multi-planar 3D transparent screens in NRJ
  • video game screen is video game screen
• There are no screen-based dark rides in Fantasyland (or anywhere in MK).
• If you thought there were more... see: Universal.
• Don't know what the new UK dark ride will be like, but all the other planned and rumored attractions don't use screens cheaply or poorly like with Nemo or Fast & Furious... except maybe Cars Academy.

I am just thinking of the future. We know it's cheaper to use screens and that is the path that WDW has taken as of late so if a new dark ride is proposed I am sure it will have screens. See Mickey's Runaway Railway... I want old school dark rides and we know it can be done since Tokyo Disney has mastered it.

Nemo doesn’t have framed TV’s. It’s the prototype of the technique used in Navi River.

The first half of the ride does.

Agree with your larger point but you forgot one in Epcot - JIYIwF.

Do we really?

Mickey Runaway Railway: physical sets with projection mapping
Battle Escape: Physical sets
Falcon: simulator, so screens
Rat: Screens
Poppins: who knows... But insiders have suggested that it may be along the lines of Alice in DL.

also worth noting: the last dark ride Disney did (FEA) featured sets and animatronics - not screens.

Sounds like a mix of things - not just screens.

 

[Bender123]

There are only the intro screens, the eye chart and the "slot machine"...Not saying there is much else in that attraction, but its majority physical set pieces with very little screen use.

Actually, VotLM has a few small screens...in MK’s New Fantasyland.

Could they be turning the WoL into a permanent festival space so that they could tear down the Millennium Pavilion thing by U.K. TO BUILD Poppins?

I feel like I've heard the Millennium Pavilion is a huge moneymaker for the convention/event space for Disney, so I doubt it would be going anywhere.

 

[kap91]

The first half of the ride does.

Those are all multilayered projection screens, often with physical sets in the background. Like it's hard to see these days because they've gotten dirty and the tech wasn't as good but the main characters are on the foreground screen, background characters on the rear screen, and physical set behind that.

 

[MisterPenguin]

What about Monsters Laugh Floor?

When was the last time you **rode** MLF?

Actually, VotLM has a few small screens...in MK’s New Fantasyland.

Were talking **screen-based** rides. The above mention of the last screen in IaSWAA was a joke (I hope!).

I stand corrected regarding "TV screens."

But it's sad, then, that that's what they look like.
