I am really sad that Cherry Tree Lane in United Kingdom pavilion has been postponed. Here is a glimpse of the Teacups!

Sad about Cherry Tree Ln. Not at all about the ride.

Can’t do teacups… but I know others like them, especially the kiddos.

Sad about Cherry Tree Ln. Not at all about the ride. Same. It's "let's throw new paint on an old toy and call it NEW!!!" It's lazy and/or budget constrained imagineering. |

If by "teacups" they mean the spinning sorts of things, that's been done. and definitely not for us. If I'm gonna hurl, I want to start by drinking too much and much and not by simply going on a ride.
Cheers.

I remember back in the day we use to take gloves with us to Dland so we could really get the cups spinning. Now I don't plan on doing things intentionally that would result in hurling be it a park ride or drinking too much.

When my sister and I were 13-15 years old or thereabouts, I used to be able to whip that wheel around with one hand like a trucker...my sister's shoe flew off and out of the vehicle, we had to find it afterwards.
Then I went somewhere else and their version of the teacups had speed-limiting brakes, imagine my disappointment.

After seeing what they planned, I am glad it's been cancelled. There is so much they could do for Cherry Tree Lane besides a tea cup ride.
And we have a band back in UK, which makes me happy.

Yep, can definitely do without tea cups. No great loss at all.

We definitely need a band in the pagoda. I still miss the British Invasion. Wow, did I just have a flashback to a British Invasion show. My kids were heavily indoctrinated into the music of the Beatles from just after birth (well, maybe they were 1-2 years old). My now 22 year old was around 3-4 and we were watching a British Invasion show. We were pretty close to the stage, and DS kept creeping closer and closer to the stage. Being the responsible parent that I am, I said nothing. I thought it was cute and funny. He just wanted to be near "The Beatles." DW was with the other kids somewhere else in Epcot. I took a pic of DS and texted it to DW. He was just a few feet from the steps leading up to the stage. My phone rings. It's DW. "Get him now!! He's going to go up on stage!" So I did. After the song ended (might've been Nowhere Man) I asked DS, "Why did you want to be so close to the stage?" and he told me, "I wanted to go up there and tell them that I know this song." So innocently. DW was right. Had I not waved him back, he would've walked up and interrupted the song. This is the kid who watched the Yellow Submarine movie every day (not exaggerating) after preschool for about two years. Sorry for the tangent. It's one of my favorite WDW memories. |

I definitely thought the Mary Poppins attraction was going to be some type of dark ride and was disappointed when they cancelled it. Indoor teacups?! As cheap and unimaginative as you can get.

Personally, I glad to see this plan die.
Another Tea Cup ride is boring and unimaginative......not to mention cheap.
RIP peace Cherry Tree Lane.

What they should make is a carousel where your horse jumps off and you ride through the park. I think they could figure out how to do that, and it would be something that would draw a lot of interest.

They probably don't have the space, but a Mary Poppins ride that uses Universal's Spiderman ride system, so you move from 3D scene to 3D scene (penguins, carousel, rooftop chimney sweeps, etc.) would be a great ride.
