In Bible World, The Mad Tea Party teacups ride is transformed into The Last Supper Cup Spin in Gospel-land. When Jesus celebrated the Last Supper on what is called Holy Thursday, he celebrated a Jewish seder meal for Passover. Traditionally there are four cups that are drunk from at such a seder meal (see, for example, https://tomperna.org/2015/04/02/the-four-cups-the-last-supper-and-the-cup-of-consummation/). The first 3–the Cup of Sanctification (“kiddush”), the Cup of Proclamation (“haggadah”), and the Cup of Blessing (“berekah”)--were all drunk by Jesus at the Last Supper. Although the 4th cup called the Cup of Praise (“hallel”) was not drunk by Jesus at the Last Supper, Dr. Scott Hahn and other Biblical experts say that Jesus drunk of it on the Cross in the form of a sponge filled with vinegar. The ride system remains the same–6 cups in each of the 3 turntables. Each turntable contains 2 of each of the kiddush/haggadah/berekah cups. At the center is the hallel cup with Jesus’ words “I thirst” on one side and “It is finished” on the other. The music for the ride is the Hallel Psalms (115-118). With a little re-theming, the popular Magic Kingdom flat ride will give Bible World guests a chance to spin with this important event in Jesus’ earthly life.
