So does any other park want Avatar? Especially if is just a copy of the FoP ride and not the whole land?

says Purr Purr (aka Marie).
My mom says she will take the expansion, but she works for the park services. Their big attractions is a Jungle gym.

Why would Paris turn it down? LOL

At the time, it was an unproven concept, and even then, the Paris version would not have been as extensive. Also, Paris was going through rough financial straits (and still is, while improving) at the time, and it would have prevented a lot of needed matinence projects.

I don't know if Paris needs Pandora or rather a whole makeover of the Studios park. You think DHS is a mess... That park is really cheap and it shows. They need to bulldoze half that park and start over. There are good attractions there (Rat, ToT, Crush, RnR but the a majority of the park feels like Six Flags on crack. I would imagine they could wipe out a 3rd of that park and put in Star Wars, Frozen, Carland, Pandora or anything really. The park needs help and it needs a reason for you to go there. Right now it doesn't have that. Perhaps they add some sort of nighttime show to the mix. World of Color somehow. As far as I know... They have the land to expand, but I'd be more concerned with how they make that park start to resemble something worthy of the Disney name.

...and yet still better than DHS. It's just depression how little DHS has going on (and a huge part of its value comes from decades old stage shows).

No DHS is definitely better than WDSP. It's not even close. WDSP is really really bad.

DHS still wins with the superior Tower, Fantasmic, Star Tours, Midway Mania and of course the placemaking of Sunset and Hollywood. WDSP has some nice rides but the lack of theming and placemaking literally kills that park.

RnRc is also better in Florida. The storyline in Paris doesn't make sense. Something about filming a music video or something instead of going to the concert.. I can't remember exactly. The exterior of RnRc isn't great at either but the card board cut-outs in Paris look like a bad Six Flags ride in comparison to DHS.

Placemaking is a where DHS crushes WDSP, and even USF to some extent. Don't get me wrong, USF has great attractions, but it feels like they are placed randomly around the park.

DHS kind of falls apart after Hollywood and Sunset. Hopefully that's addressed with the redo.
I don't know if this is a good place to bring this up, but I'm re-creating Avatar land in my backyard. I've hit a bit of a brick wall. I don't know what to put in the show buildings vis a vis the rides. Also, my incredibly realistic Navi animatronics seems to have come to life and I'm not certain that their intentions are what we would call "good".

Maybe once they are done with the referb of Disneyland Parc and the resorts (and when it shows in guest satisfaction scores) TDLP will enact plans to place-make WDSP. They could even keep the studio theme as it will still come off as being "American".

Potentially. They are going to need some new attractions in all of Parc Disneyland. Both parks need something in the next 5 years, desperately. It's nice they are doing refurbs left and right, but they still need something new to market. I'd imagine star wars finds its way to other Disney Parks in the near future.

It's not even close. HWS dominates WDS. Have you been to WDS? The park literally has nothing to do besides rides.

Well darn, you really have built my excitement for our first visit to DL Paris this year! lol Here I was debating wether we should extend our days there from 2 to 3 or 4 and reduce time in the city or Switzerland. Perhaps I should just shutter it down to 1 if they have nothing and it will just depress the kids and I to be at six flags?

No! Not at all! The main park (Disneyland Parc) is incredible, it could be worth it to spend two days there alone. Also, while Studios is by no means fantastic, there are still some very well done parts (Crush's Coaster).

No way, sorry If my words are making you rethink... Parc Disneyland is AMAZING! The studios park is just not worth that much time and isn't a park that will blow you away... it was built on the cheap and it shows. That said, they have some killer attractions there. Ratatouille and Crush Coaster would be star attractions at any Disney Park. They are both really really good! Plus it's always fun to ride Tower of Terror, which is almost an exact copy of the ToT at DCA except everything is in French which makes it extra spooky! They also have some shows to see and of course their version of RnRc.
Over at Disneyland is where you'll spend 80% of your time and it will be time well spent! That place is beautiful. The most beautiful Disney Park I've been to so far. Haven't been to either Chinese Park.
