When Walt Disney World closed for the global pandemic it not only caused problems for the resort in that moment, but it caused shockwaves that the parks are feeling to this day. Several ongoing new attractions saw significant construction delays. The Tron: Lightcycle Run roller coaster is only now on the eve of opening. But other projects that had been announced, but never started were delayed if not canceled outright. One of those was an exciting Mary Poppins attraction planned for Epcot’s UK pavilion.
Before the pandemic, a special video presentation at Epcot included mention of this new attraction. But when the park reopened, references to it (as well as an update to Spaceship Earth) were gone. At the time, Disney said it had decided to "postpone development" of the Mary Poppins attraction. At this point, there’s no expectation that the planned attraction will ever happen, but we now have an idea of what it would have been. Concept art that shows a Mad Tea Party-style spinning ride, but with incredible enhancements, recently found its way online.
