Possible Attraction in France pavilion (Epcot) Update - new Attraction Greenlit

[Kman101]

But it's the ONLY WAY to get onto the BRAND NEW E TICKET Frozen Ever After!

Imagine if it breaks down during one of those parties and people are left with chocolate cupcakes with blue frosting for $79.

LOL at the thought of it breaking down

When do they start offering Pandora Desert Parties?

I heard something about Neytiri's Festival of the Lion King Premium Dessert Party. $79 won't get you on Flight of Passage until at least 2019. But her chocolate cake WILL have Goji berries, so there's that.

If AK wants an upcharge, bring back Harambe Nights. I would have actually paid and gone to that.

That is a really good question...Alice? Brave? though neither of them seem like quite as good a fit as Mary Poppins.

Perhaps I'm just weird, but Mary Poppins seems like a terrible fit for UK Epcot. Doesn't really have a strong cultural significant befitting of a British Pavilion; being "better" than Frozen in Norway is an absurdly low bar.

Sword in the Stone? Perfect. Robin Hood? Would be great if it were humans instead of anthropomorphic animals. I can understand people wanting a proper Poppins attractions in WDW, but Epcot doesn't seem like the ride location.

I believe @lentesta's review of British theme parks involved the line, "a lot of rides about tea".

And lots and lots of mazes.

Most of us are likely throwing Poppins out there because we know there isn't a chance in he-double-hockey-sticks they go with Sword in the Stone or Robin Hood.

Poppins would be a fine fit. IMO of course.

Honestly the Pter Pan in the Magic Kingdom is the worst iteration of the ride ever built...they REALLY need to either upgade it or completely start over from scratch in a whole new building... Like the Shanghai version...

actually Tokyo has the worst one. It's Neverland is the size of a table. The one in WDW is the second best IMO bc the buildings in London are 3D along with the ships and the Neverland is huge and filled with detail. Shanghai's is by far the best one.

Don't ever see it happening but 101 Dalmatians is set in England. The puppies reside in a London flat if memory serves correct.

Not that I could ever see this happening, but building the upgraded Shanghai-version of Peter Pan's Flight for the UK pavilion and opening up a spot in Fantasyland for an attraction with far better capacity makes a lot of sense.

I would rather see them tear down the circus tents and build an even better version of Peter Pan in that spot...double tracked, newer effects, longer ride. Remove the circus train splash area and replace it with a Neverland themed play area and a Pixie Hollow meet and greet thing. That would give the whole Peter Pan ip a little proper respect... Create an all new Tangled ride to replace Peter Pan after the new Peter Pan area opens... Use the expanded Peter Pan Queue as another Princess Hug Zone for Tangled and I think the park would make a lot of sense...

To me, I feel like an Alice hedge maze would be the most likely and appropriate option. It would be non-obtrusive, fitting quite nicely with the theming of the area. It wouldn't be IP overload in your face, but rather, discreetly reflect the tranquility of manicured English gardens.

All good by me.

it would also be completely underwelming and not much of an attraction...more like a filler... The UK pavilion should have a proper attraction, not an after-thought maze being added because it is budget friendly...EPCOT needs capacity attractions...

Especially when it already has a maze.

Agree that the park needs higher capacity attractions, but I don't think the UK pavilion has the space to accommodate that. I would hope that whatever new pavilion(s) open would have such attractions as well as whatever replaces UoE and WoL.

No, it is not a good YT channel. Jack just reads various forums and regurgitates as a 'newscast.' He doesn't have any personal connections.

So, he'll get a lot of things right, but, he'll also get some things very, very wrong because he isn't careful with his web sources.

If only!

And expand the Alice presence like once planned and add the dark ride.

True...the Pooh ride is knd of a throwaway...the could put the 2 level Alice ride where that is as it relates better to the Tea Cups, and create a little mini Alice area that would be very sweet...and make the Teacups feel like less of a disconnected add-on.

Can David Allen Grier do his Teddy Pendergrass impression?

Sign me up for a trackless hedge maze ride.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

The maze in UK pavilion is nothing like the maze in Shanghai. The one in Shanghai (I went there) is amazing!

Did you just say "a-maze-ing"?
