News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[doctornick]

They've been tossing around ride ideas for all of Showcase since the late 1970's.

Right now I know of 6 new builds proposed. I'd expect to see 2 of them.

I'm serious just excited that there is a recognition -- and a will to address -- the reality that World Showcase needs more rides. Yes, FW is a mess and needs fixing, but WS is so underdeveloped. If they plot some new rides and space them out, it will really help to capture more people and keep them longer in the parks. And probably sell a few more baubles or drinks.

Regarding Coco and Mexico, it seems like it would be a good fit and it will probably be a very good film, but I'd rather they spend time/money/energy building additions rather than changing existing attractions. Grand Fiesta Tour is a perfectly fine ride as is.

For the UK? Initially quite excited. But then followed the inevitable budget cut and now I'm not so sure.

if that's the case, then almost makes me wish they wouldn't bother at all, because everything seems to end up half baked or diluted instead of what should have been.

Well, since the London Olympics spent a large part of their opening ceremonies to this aspect of their culture, I'm pretty sure that a new ride in the UK pavilion will feature... The National Health Service.

And it breaks my heart to think that those fantastic, vintage animatronics recently added to the attraction might be yanked once again. They deserve to be seen and enjoyed.

If Brazil gets a pavilion, maybe they could make a ride featuring the 3 Caballeros. José is Brazilian.

Didn't you read the other thread?

The American Adventure is going to be replaced by a Three Caballeros sing-a-long, featuring your beloved AAs!

I can see the sign over the Stand-By Line already, advertising a 3 month wait...

As a Brit, I've never been enamoured with the UK pavilion- especially the imitation fish and chips. Furthermore, the area only really covers one specific part of the country (Southern England). I'd love to see a bit more representation for the rest of the UK- us Northern Irish, Scots and Welsh exist too you know!

The fish and chips are horrid. Not only do they smell fishy, but they are just rank..yuck. I could got to London for some good fish and chips right now..

I believe the ginger rate of the pavilion will raise quite a bit...

Maybe a boat ride through GB's colonies would be cool. Itd show off all the different cultures and how the sun actually never set on the British Empire.

Haha that could be a great alternative. That being said, from what little I have seen, Coco really does look like it would fit beautifully in Mexico.

I hope the attraction is based on either Mary Poppins (first choice) or a Beatles Yellow Submarine ride!

^Tries triggering. Shoots blanks.

Seriously, give it a rest, troll. You bored? Need attention?

I can't tell if this post was sarcastic or not. Probably isn't the best idea to make a ride like that in 2017.

The idea does kinda have echoes of Kipling's "White Man's Burden" in it... Although of course unintentional, I'm sure.
