News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[BenJacobs]

IP is irrelevant if the attraction is well done. Most people, especially kids these days, wouldn't have any clue that Splash Mountain is based on an IP.

Current management won't install rides in WDW that aren't IP based, and at least Mary Poppins is properly located in England (I'm looking at you Frozen). Whether IP should be installed in EPCOT, is of course a separate debate of opinion.

The thing is, what about Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, they're in the UK too, that's why I'd want a ride that goes through all of the landscapes and attraction in the whole of the UK, to show that it isn't just London.

What would you like?

World peace.

We're not trying to argue with you @Benjlufc but you were stating an opinion as a fact. There's a difference. You can have any opinion you want, that's what makes a discussion board go 'round ...

 

[BenJacobs]

Erm, as a U.K. resident, yes they do. I have tons of London born friends that speak with a strong cockney accent. And, if of a certain class, a beautiful accent like Mary Poppins. The U.K. has tons of different accents, and those are a few of them.

I just want to fight the stereotype that we are all either Cockney or super-posh.

Ok, from now on, can we just think of what I said as my opinion.

 

[BenJacobs]

World peace.

Thumbs up emoji was supposed to be here

 

[BenJacobs]

World peace.

But really, in the UK pavillion, what ride/attraction would you like?

Marni may not be able to respond, he can only give us so much information. I would assume the coy response is indicative of needing to have tight lips on this one.

Quite

 

[wdwgreek]

Quite

We can deduce that 1. an attraction is being considered, 2. Its a Uk based IP, 3. one of which is Poppins, however its not his favorite. beyond that its up to us to put pieces together, ask the right questions, and brainstorm possibilities.

What about anything Alice in Wonderland related?

That's a good idea, they could make it a modern and high tech dark ride.

 

[JenniferS]

That's opinion, not fact.

Not even a particularly valid opinion ... geesh!

 

[BenJacobs]

I believe that you are the first in this conversation to not respect another person's opinion.

 

[JenniferS]

The fact is that this the opinion of the majority, families wont want to ride if their kids will have no idea what's going on.

Really, how many children (or adults for that matter) know the story of Song of the South? And yet, it is definitely one of the MK's most popular attractions.

15 year olds high on Easter sugar ... ugh!

We're all thinking it, trust me.

But Splash Mountain isn't trying to be like the film, people aren't expected to know of or have watched the film, so it is eccentially an unrelated ride.

Fair enough

 

[wdwgreek]

But Splash Mountain isn't trying to be like the film, people aren't expected to know of or have watched the film, so it is eccentially an unrelated ride.

It uses the songs from the film, the charterers from the film, and it ties together the three animated shorts from the film into a continuous story. Its is very much a related ride.

So anyway how about that unnamed ip attraction In the U.K. @marni1971 said in another thread early 2021. I'm hoping for a good dark ride but have a feeling it may be something more like a b or maybe a c ticket to help balance out RAT on that side of the park.
