Originally Posted By Bellella Hey, I love the Monorail too!

That doesn't mean the attractions are lame or anything. I love Mr. Lincoln and I think it should stay forever.

Mary Poppins doesn't even make the width of today's tv screens .. which are 1.78:1 .. and Mary Poppins was shot - 1.66:1 With CinemaScope films at 2:35:1 I wondered why Mary Poppins was not shot in something wider ... and I later learned it all came down to some of the special effects they shot. They simply didn't have the equipment needed to frame their special effects in a wider aspect ratio.

While I've seen it screened in 1.85:1 .. and on some home video formats as well. And btw ..... for those who don't know .. the Lincoln theater has normally been used to screen films .. for quite some time now - As CM and CM/Family+Friends screenings, for after-park-operating-hours evenings. I've seen quite a few movies in there. Pretty darn good audio system!
