News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Disneyfan1981]

Cool, I wanted to go on this ever seeing the ride videos on YouTube, nice it'll be a closer trip to get to now

Honestly, I am pretty excited about this one, despite being an IP. Should be fun!

 

[Wishing Star]

Can't wait to see Ratatouille put a dead Mickey into the food he's cooking.

Can you hear that?
It's walt doing 360's in his grave

Wine cheese and ratatouille! Am I in heaven?!?

That concept art has got to be too good to be true. The expansion of the back area looks roughly the size of the pavilion itself. God I hope it looks like that! Beautiful!

I was expecting it to simply be a small, repurposed facade, ala Frozen Ever After, but good lord that looks extensive!

I would think he'd do that over "Peter Quill came to Epcot as a kid" more than this. I rolled my eyes so hard they did a 360.

It took me a few minutes to understand what I was seeing in that art. Finally realized it is this area. The arrow is the POV from the art work.

I wonder what these buildings are going to be?

Probably shops... loaded with Remy merch

Walt had nothing to do with the version of EPCOT that was built. This never was his vision to begin with.

And cook books.

Walt never even wanted a Florida park. EPCOT Center fans forget that so quickly.

Disney World was the only way he could convince the corporate sponsors to pay for EPCOT. EPCOT was never realized, the idea that was EPCOT Center never could get past about 1991, and Epcot is going to become a more traditional theme park over the next 10 years. It's time EPCOT Center 'purists' live with that fact or walk away from the whole thing.

Is France still showing the same film from the 90s? Will it get updated or is it being removed entirely for Ratatouille?

How can you read this through all the egg on your face?

 

[No Name]

This is one of the announcements I'm most happy about. Which is a bit sad.

So the name of the attraction is Ratatouille: Kitchen Calamity? That's what the concept art suggests, but I'm not sure if that's just a working title.

That's what the ride in WDSP was originally going to be called in, but then they changed it to Ratatouille: Remy's Totally Zany Adventure. I don't exactly know why, but my guess is they realized Kitchen Calamity didn't translate well to French.

I'm glad to see Kitchen Calamity being used for Epcot's version. It's a far better name, in my opinion.

I'm seriously hoping you're right. I can't really tell but going by what you're saying it looks like a decent expansion.

 

[tirian]

Excited. This is a good ride... It's always first on my list to ride when in Paris.

It will make Frozen look like a B ticket.

Eh, it's already a C-ticket, so that's not too much of a drop.

Walt had nothing to do with the version of EPCOT that was built. This never was his vision to begin with.

The core ideas of FW, a showcase for science and industry, and WS, corridors in downtown E.P.C.O.T. themed to areas around the world, were part of Walt's 1966 pitch.

Yeah, seems to match up quite nicely with the existing rear of the pavilion. My big question is what is the structure that I marked as "D"? It looks like the structure already exists, but in the concept, it almost looks like a train/trolley station leading into a tunnel...
