Which Mary Poppins attraction would you rather have? The one shown above in this concept art by master Imagineer Tony Baxter for the original Disneyland or the one below designed for World Showcase at Epcot? Let's look at each as the decision may not be as clear cut as it seems. Or could there be yet another answer?
The one for Disneyland looks to be a "D Ticket" or even an "E Ticket" based on its innovative ride technology and substantial sets.
The Epcot version, as indicated by Walt Disney World insiders, is said to be a "C Ticket" carousel or spinner of sorts with projection mapping put to new use. Each would have numerous pieces of music to bring it all to life, be it from the original film or Mary Poppins Returns.
In the video above, Tony explains how this Disneyland attraction would come to life. Quite fascinating. There are even parts of it that remind me of Tony's other classic attraction, Journey into Imagination.
In a perfect World, we'd have both! What do you think? I say that would be practically perfect in every way.
