Get it?
Anyway, what is cool about a flat ride is it leaves open the possibility for a D or E in the future.

I live near this and go a lot. It really is a beautiful carousel and I ride it with my kid every time we go. Also, very cool around Halloween when they die the pond in front red and put torches all over it.

Has there every been an indoor carousel surrounded by screens? I know 'we' are usually anti-screens, but if done well, it could be amazing to feel like you are in the animated 'jolly holiday' sequence. They could even change the screen content to do layovers of Mary Poppins Returns.

My only concern is just with the capacity. However, a double-decker carousel would be a lot of fun. One of my favorite carousels is Cedar Downs up at Cedar Point. It goes almost 15 mph and the horses "race" as they move forward and backward. That would be a great feature with the horse race part and the fox chase section. However, it wouldn't need to go 15 mph as Cedar Downs has a minimum height requirement of 48".

So apparently something is happening with the old Pooh meet and greet space. Windows covered from inside Toy Soldier, and a green awning with the address “30” up over the entrance, and stained glass with “30” on the transom windows. A host stand was covered near fastpass touchpoints, and a sign that said “Established 1927.” Backside windows in the door weren’t covered, and the interior still looked like a bedroom, though I didn’t see stuffed Pooh characters. Any ideas what this could be?
That is gorgeous.

That reminds me the old Hitchcock attraction at Universal. They had that section of the carousel with footage projected on the wall. Not sure if thats the happy feeling WDW would want...
It's been there since at least April.
According to Google Maps...
I found online the uncovered FP sign. And given that there are bees on the sign, I'm guessing was for (will be for) a Pooh M&G.

News - Christopher Robin's bedroom coming to UK
Not sure if this warrants it's own thread, but I haven't seen this mentioned on here. On the Epcot Character Spot page on the Disney World website, there's the discussion of the new spots to meet characters. The last bullet mentions Pooh will be returning to UK, in "Christopher Robin's...
You can put whatever spin you want on it, I've got no money on this horse race.
I love the idea of a “well themed” poppins spiner even more so if multi level. My son at 7 even now doesn’t stop smiling when on a great carousel. Anybody remember the origanal 3 level animal kingdom spinner that was planned to be the icon of the park before the Tree of Life. Not saying they will build anything on that scale but would be great if they used that as insperation but with the poppins characters and colours
