News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Sirwalterraleigh]

The worst part is he's not trolling. He actually believes the things he says

^^^^ dis ^^^^

He’s a throwback...to that delightful era of the internet where people whipped themselves into a frenzy thinking management wanted to spend one cent more than minimum necessary to achieve the profit goals their statistical analysis told them was required by the stockholders - at a minimum.

Tis not so

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

That is why MK 2.0 will happen.

Epcot 's 40th will be at least GotG and new spine.

And something in the UK pavilion. Maybe Poppins related.

It will not....because it’s about labor, long term cost commitments, and stock drains

Epcot’s “40th” will be T-shirt’s, pins, and a speech by whoever is left alive that worked on it - as I told you. And it’s 2019...and they build nothing in 3 years anymore. I assume you’re punking people on this??

Maybe...but there’s no thirst to do anything quickly on management’s part. They are already spending money in that park...no desire to spend more than minimum.

I also forgot to mention the SSE project starting this year for the 40th. Per insiders.

It’s not for the 40th.

They'll be marketing Ratatouille for the 40th I am sure so.....

The difference being Rat will be open.

 

[jt04]

The difference being Rat will be open.

So sse won't reopen for 3 years?

 

[marni1971]

So sse won't reopen for 3 years?

That’s the current plan.

Happy.

New.

Year.

 

[marni1971]

Wow. That's amazing.

I know. Hopefully it won’t come to that and we won’t have another 25th.

 

[HauntedPirate]

What exactly does moving tea cups and if SSE will be open before Oct-1-2022 and Rat have to do with a possible Mary Poppins attraction at the UK pavilion? Other than giving someone attention for their often-I'll-throw-****-against-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks guessing?

 

[marni1971]

As always...for some it’s a “slow non-news day”

It’s not even that quick.

Remember guys, the best action is to report someone for Spamming instead of responding to them. Don't give them an inch.

It's alright to let the thread fade from the front page if there's no news or meaningful related discussion to be had at the moment. We don't need to encourage anyone (ahem) to grasp at straws to keep a thread "alive".

My thoughts on this:

If between Brave and Mary Poppins...please go with Mary Poppins. Brave was an unlikeable movie IMO and has nowhere near the timeless appeal as a film that Mary Poppins has.

The only type of ride I will accept is a suspended dark ride. Nothing else will do or would even make sense given the Mary Poppins film itself. Plus it would be nice to see Disney do more suspended dark rides outside of Peter Pan...one using modern tech.

 

[marni1971]

Like start in late 2019 and open in fall of 2021?

Fall 2021 would be a long shot.

 

[Scrooged]

This thread has turned into Schroedinger’s dark ride....

 

[Next Big Thing]

I'm a bit behind on the thread, but figured i'd ask... any chance we get a recreation of Cherry Tree Lane along with this project? I know it might just be a carousel, but something like that kind of theming would be a really nice aesthetic addition. @marni1971 @MansionButler84 @articos

I didn't realize Mary Poppins was going to be a coaster...

It isnt. The discussion currently is on the re-do of the track work in Spaceship Earth. Marie

Julie Andrews confirmed as the new narrator.

 

[Walter Elias Disney]

The United Kingdom Pavilion definitely provides opportunities to incorporate Cherry Tree Lane.
