The Rumor Tracking Thread

What about Brave, isn't that movie set in the United Kingdom?

Now THIS! This would be awesome! It is set in Scotland (part of the UK). Would give them more space in MK as well as they could put the Merida M&G here

At least it's part of the U.K. At the present time.

Good point, don’t mean to make it political, but that is probably something they should take into account when they pick an IP

How about a trackless Mr Toad?

Bedknobs and Broomsticks? No chance I know, but one of my favorites in addition to another vote for Robin Hood.

Well Mr.Toad was the only Irma survivor in the HM pet cemetery so maybe it's a good omen

No Toad per insiders

I'd be shocked to see that happen unless there was a Toad live action movie in the works.

This is Chapek's Disney. Rides must move merchandise.

As much as I love Mr. Toad, I doubt it'll be Mr. Toad. I could see Brave. They could use some more Celtic feel to the pavilion. Right Scottish things are popular, like with Outlander. It'll interesting to see what they do.

 

[Douglas Dubh]

I don't think it will be Toad either, especially with the rat going into France. Just thought it would be a fun ride and would fit the pavilion.

Sorry to ask as I think I've seen/asked this before, but....was just looking at pg. 1 and it gives a date of 2018 for Mickey's Runaway Train ride. Is that correct? Or did I misread? Thought it was targeted for a 2019 opening.

They don't have to build a building just gut and re-theme. My understanding is the bulk of it needs to be done before TSL and GE open because it is much easier when they can stage everything coming in and out backstage which will not be possible once those areas open up.

The back building in this shot is the GMR/M&MRT building to give you a better idea.

It is 2019. If ou read the additions to the bold it lists that it is 2019. I should change the bold as well tho so thanks for pointing that out. The original rumor had it opening in 2018.

I would find it very interesting to see a Sword and the Stone attraction. To me it is not one of the most popular movies and I feel as though a lot of people would treat that as a non-priority. If they are putting in a new attraction, it should be something that will be worth it in 20 years considering the overhaul of Epcot that is rumored. Brave could be an interesting option and Alice is probably a safe bet considering the attraction exists already, but I wish they would bring back Mr. Toad.

I know everyone loves Mr Toad - I love Mr Toad - but lets remember - Mr Toad is a drunk driver, who kills someone and is sent to the firey underworld - "h-e" double-hockeysticks. They aren't bringing back Toad.

There are strong hints - between Spirit and others the choice of IP for UK ride is Brave. This is not confirmed or locked in stone(sob...wanted Sword in the stone ).

 

[Phicinfan]

Also quick confirmation from Martin at WDWMagic.com that Rat in Epcot has officially started

any word on what type of ride it will be? Simple dark ride telling the story or something different but set in that "world"? Could be kinda cool if it is something like Buzz or TSMM where you shoot arrows at targets or something - don't really have anything like that in EPCOT

I have to say I am totally amazed at how little has gone out on this. No, all we "know" for sure is will be ride, will not be spinner or ferris wheel, and will be B-D range looking at similar scale as Mexico ride.

I'm still to see Brave but I'd rather have the IP there rather than more Alice in Wonderland or sword and the stone. I'd still rather have Mary Poppins though, more staying power of an IP
