Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[Timothy_Q]

The money being spent on Star Wars is a once in a generation expenditure, the modus operandi for Marvel seems to be 'repurpose' as seen in every park getting Marvel attractions so far.

I would say Paris is on par with what is happening in California and Hong Kong, HK feels ahead because they have already announced their mega E-ticket which will likely follow at California and then finally Paris after all of the announced WDSP expansion is complete.

Yeah they all seem to follow the same model

1 rethemed ride (GotG at DCA, Iron Man at WDS, Ant Man at HKD)
1 new D-ticket (Spider Man at DCA and WDS, Iron Man at HKD)
1 new E-ticket sometime in the future (Avengers at all 3?)

It seems like some of the big shots of TWDC / Parks & Resorts are in DLP over these couple of days, to attend meetings and finalize the projects in terms of decisions.
EDIT: seems like other sources mention it was just press related things, hence why all effects on rides were suddendly working again for a moment.
(Just thinking out loud here: Which might also mean that we'd get some announcements soon after? If things are decided...)

I really hope so! Been waiting for that Indiana Jones Adventure announcement for decades now..

Exciting! And having just watched PixieDust.be's latest update video, the parks, (esp WDS) look like they're really ready for something new, maybe this will help. And I wonder how bookings are this year and if SOTF is as popular as last year?

Expect maybe new details in a few days/weeks. DLP is in the process of communicating to the Cast Members on the extension, and it should be soon for the guests.

 

[IMDREW]

Exciting!!

The shop of the Spiderman attraction will have a surface of 2658 square feet, and will be included in the building. (Reminder: the building of Armageddon will be demolished in order to build the building of Spiderman)

Spoiler

A part of the forest of the "Livrains" is being cleared (2,471 Acres) for the construction of the extension, and the displacement of the station of Studio Tram Tour (which will be transformed into a Cars attraction).

It's crazy to see the forest being taken down after years of rumours that it couldn't be touched. Just nice to see something happening though.

 

[douglasrickard]

I'm so keeping a close eye on here, and twitter accounts for a reveal of something more. This is the first we've heard of the tour transforming into a Cars attraction though!

 

[RunningKoen]

Cars land?

 

[jaxonp]

Cars land?

I hope not. Let DCA have something original.

 

[douglasrickard]

I hope not. Let DCA have something original.

Well I was thinking that as the Cars characters went to Europe in the sequel and how that track in "Cars 3" they practiced on looks more like the woods in WDS they might not even try to replicate Radiator Springs itself but have something different albeit with the same ride vehicles?

 

[rickreptile]

if the tram tour is going away and replace it with cars land, they could still use the canyon as part of the ride

It’s just a small part of the forest, not all of it.


And for Cars. Waited for nothing more than a small place with Cosey cone, Studio Tram Tour and the restaurant with lake view.

Or else for Cars. Waited for nothing more than a small place with Cosey cone, Studio Tram Tour and the restaurant with lake view.

Is the part where they're clearing it, near where that Cosy Cone diagram is?

It was always rumours, nothing more, pretty sure I debunked them. Tram tour was going through it anyway...

Cars land?

Maybe later. Much later.

Do we think they are going to do a good job with this Marvel land or is it likely to be done for as cheap as possible?

Rock 'n Roller Coaster closes September 2nd. Is there any time frame for the refurbishment?

Going by what's been done at HKD, the buildings are pretty generic looking.

Will probably still be an improvement over the current backlot area at WDS

 

[Indy_UK]

Be a shame if Star Wars gets these amazing expansive lands and Marvel gets a half hearted attempt
