Carousel in UK pavilion.

That sounds like a wonderful idea!

Great, isn't it?

I've always felt the UK pavilion at WS is a bit of a letdown. Too small, and just shops and a pub. :shrug:

WS itself never developed into a proper theme park, and its current state as a glorified mall / drinking den seems to suit management just fine.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is beating Disney at its own game.

How about a Pirates-like boat dark ride, including drop, through 19th century London? We'd all love something like this at Disney. Unfortunately, the 'Great Expectations' boat ride is based on Britain's greatest novelist and might introduce English literature and British culture to your children, so I won't expect anything like it from Disney. If there's going to be an expansion of the UK pavilion, it'll be an increase in the size of the pub to get visitors more drunk.

The attraction has been heavily promoted as containing Europe’s longest indoors dark ride, the "Great Expectations" log flume. Other attractions include the Haunted House of Ebenezer Scrooge (which incorporates a Pepper's ghost effect), a Victorian school room, a 4D high definition cinema show, "The Six Jolly Fellowship Porters", a themed bar and restaurant, and Fagin’s Den, a play area. There are also mockup Dickensian-style London buildings around a central square, populated with sundry costumed characters from Dickens' works.

What is more likely though??? Adding the dark rides or Disney turning WS into DInorama with cheap stuff like Carosels and spinners?

Basically that is the most spot on country then in Epcot! :ROFLOL:

... I know WS is due to get some love soon but this in not the way.

Care to elaborate on that?

Thanks.

Thanks.

It has been getting love with the new Pizza place and other expansions and there are some in the company that think WS is far overdue for a new attraction. Beyond that I can't really post anything sorry.

I thought you were referring to something new.

Thanks though.

Yes there are talks of some new things but I doubt they will happen.

This one killed me. Thought I'd say the only thing missing is a perpetual raincloud overhead.

Perhaps a miniature London Eye. A don't know how you Brits feel about that. Certainly we could find something better to represent British history and culture than a Beatles tribute band....

Had the same idea - the issue here is you'd end up seeing too much of the backstage areas when you reached the top. Not something Disney likes to do.

That would be an Issue unless you put it indoors or did something like this.

Put up a forced perspective backdrop of the London skyline.

I dont think the london eye would work, it doesnt fit into the story the pavilion is telling, and would not fit the skyline of world showcase (although i guess things outside the park have already ruined that...)

They could have a British version of the Hall of Presidents, showcasing their national heroes: Alfred the Great, Henry V, Elizabeth I, Wellington, Nelson, Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Mick Jagger, etc.

There already is a version of HOP in WS with AA :shrug:

The UK pavilllion really doesn't need anything else.
It already has a pub, a fish and chips shop, and an excellent restroom.

For authenticity it could use a few soccer hooligans

Would you like to see a large Carousel put somewhwere in th UK pavilion in WS with a Marry Poppens theme?

:ROFLOL:I fixed that!!! I am afraind to say that some people might want to see that. :lookaroun

Your fix is broken. Now you have Marry Poppens. It is Mary Poppins. But you're getting closer! :animwink:

Excellent idea, they could ensure that the CMs were all teenage mums too. After all the American pavilion is staffed buy large numbers of pie eaters and that seems to work well.
