News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Magicart87]

TBH if a 60 year old C ticket is aiming too high, I would rather see an elaborate Carrousel / strong B ticket. I’d rather have the best B ticket than the worst C ticket.

This!

Guys... don’t aim too high.

I mean, I’ll be happy if we actually get a dark ride at all, I’m fine if it’s lower tech than Toad.

 

[Kman101]

Guys... don’t aim too high.

Is Alice/Toad, etc. aiming too high? lol. I'm more than happy with that for Poppins. If it's less, why bother? My enthuasism is quickly dwindling for this every time you say don't aim too high lol. I don't think any of us are expecting an E-ticket here.

It's like limbo dancing. Each time someone posts an idea, and it's discussed for a couple of pages, up pops Martin saying "Don't aim too high". And the bar gets lowered.

So, a Meet n Greet?

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Lower tech than Toad is a carnival ride.

So my brain kept reading ‘calamity’ as ‘cabaret’ for some odd reason, and I was trying to figure out how I missed the news that Kitchen Cabaret was coming back.

I need a nap.

Same!

Cheap and tacky.

Edit: aside from Peter Pan.

But Mr Toad

 

[mickEblu]

I hope not, just went on it finally last week. Pretty yes, but also pretty pointless. I felt really bad for the people in the 100 minute standby line. It wasn't even worth the short fast pass wait and I knew ahead of time to not expect anything but this went way below that even.. Glad we got to finally see it for ourselves but there is no desire to try to ride it again. Would hate to see a true Poppins attraction wasted this way.

I predicted how unrepeatable NRJ would be a few months before Pandora opened on one of the Avatar threads and got roasted. Not that it was a bold prediction considering what was known at the time... one AA, no thrills, no story, no unique ride system etc. Not to mention people’s expectations would never be met with a C ticket for a Pandora boat ride.

So a Meet n Greet?

With a cardboard cut-out of Poppins.

So a 60 year old C ticket Is aiming too high? Yikes.

Mary Poppins deserves better!

But Mr Toad

Mr Toad is living off of nostalgia.

Mr Toad is living off of nostalgia.

95% of Disney parks are living off nostalgia. Otherwise, how many times a year could we slowly cruise by some Pirate robots wearing rubber masks and not be bored?

True but Mr Toad is stuck in 1955. Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard

When you get a chance please check out the WDW version since each ride vehicle has two separate routes.

 

[Haymarket2008]

It depends what ride system it gets. And what budget.

But a dark ride, nonetheless?

 

[brb1006]

With a cardboard cut-out of Poppins.

And cardboard dancing penguins and farm animals

Yeah but I find it more enjoyable than 3/4th of Disney park dark rides. It’s just well done. Plywood cutouts and all. The zippy little track through the attraction and tight turns bring it to life. I like it much better than some modern dark rides like Mermaid, Monsters inc and Pooh.

I actually like Mermaid. Anyway, Toad is cute but I wouldn't wait more than 10-15 mins for it. Pooh is actually better than Toad.
