EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[lazyboy97o]

This is the back.

It is the direct guest-facing front of the main mass of the show building. Right behind the detailed entrance, just like at Skull Island.

Knowing Disney it will be marketed as the largest expansion in the history of Epcot.

underlying problem so many new additiond are trumpeted to the roof tops and than its like this is it?

This right here. NFL was meh, TSL is not that great, and even Pandora, which I really like, is a ride and a half short. I know Rat isn’t a land, but I hope it’s a good ride under all that steel and facade work.

Its a great ride, so long as your expectations are in line with it. Everybody here seems to think that a new ride has to be an E to be worthwhile. Its a solid C+/D attraction. I loved it in France, but Im also aware of what it is.

if disney stopped marketing everything as an E peoples expectations would be resonable....but that sweet sweet money baby!

They have marketed this attraction as a E? Has never felt that way to me. Right now, with SW, mentions of it are pretty infrequent.

I don't think they ever did say it was an "E"...Its a carbon copy of the one at DLP and is a screen based dark ride. Discussion Board Imagineers have, when they take a break from discussions on the proper way to deploy urban mass transit systems.

Mine Train has been open 5 years and still has hour long waits from rope drop to park close and you don’t think it was well received? Bring on those poorly received rides!

With that being said, more often than not when I ride it, I hear someone say to their ride companion “is that it?” Just because people wait for it doesn’t mean they love it. Yes, long lines usually indicate a good ride (and indicate success to Disney) but if you accept anecdotal evidence, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train doesn’t satisfy its riders as often as it should.

It looks like the background skyline of distant buildings is going to be a painted flat...

This is an interesting observation/prediction. I assumed they would be adding three-dimensional elements to that "background buildings" section.

Do any insiders have information on whether the "distant buildings" backdrop will indeed be totally flat?

In any park with few real attractions, you're bound to find lines. That doesn't indicate quality as far as I am concerned.

7DMT always feels like a really awesome first part of a great ride...Its like somebody took a movie like Captain America Winter Soldier and just tossed up "The End" after SHIELD gets taken over. You sit there and wonder why everyone is leaving, the movie just got its plot and nothing happened.

This ride feels like act one of a story and just sends you on your way.

I wish we could have had Remy's restaurant in France. Instead of the generic looking Chef de France. That chaps my you know what. At least they should make the waitstaff dress up as the rats from the film. This way you get a meal and a character meet and greet.

Is this a joke account, created Apr 18?

well they dont use that term often anyway but im simply reffering to hype period. every ride shouldnt have a vblog following its construction and silly little commercials everywhere etc. not every ride is soem great thing cant new stuff just be there and you say woah thats cool. Disney does it to themselves with there marketing machine. Disney's PR is like the tiger tank in 1942. there is nothing like it.

Having dined there, Chez Remy would have been a nice add, but having looked at the menu for Chefs de France, it's a wash food-wise. Visually, Chez Remy would have been awesome, but maybe this is one of those things best left as something unique for DLP/WDSP.

It doesn't satisfy. I'm not saying I can ride it all that often, but any of the times I have been able to, I always hear the same thing as you "is that it?" or "that was it??". It's a nice ride, but it lacks in exterior lighting, it lacks in at least having not one or two more show scenes ... it's bare bones. The cavern and ending are good. The coaster itself is fun. But it doesn't quite come together. It ends just as you feel it coming together. Same thing with Navi River Journey. Except at least with River Journey I feel entirely immersed. But it too suffers from being a couple of minutes short. Just as you settle in, and go, ok, this is nice ... it's over. (And I'm noticing a trend ... TSL and Slinky Dog feel the same, what's there is nice but ... that's it? but to be fair, Slinky is very fun but it's also a bit short and lacks show scenes; why post a mural of Andy's drawing and not add even the majority of it? I guess we're flying by so quick ... but at the same time ...)

And folks need to understand: the words "new" and "coaster" will elicit long lines. Especially at Disney. I think there's a few reasons behind several of their newest projects being coasters (and yes we're also getting several dark rides)

I think Disney is beginning to learn that their short rides aren’t satisfying the way they should. All of their new rides (except Tron and MAYBE Guardians) will be at least 4 1/2 minutes.

For me Rat is on the same level as WDW’s Pirates. Maybe a little lower.

I don’t completely disagree with you, should it be more? Yes. But if it wasn’t well received then after 5 years the crowds would figure it out to a certain degree. It doesn’t even benefit like an Epcot or HS ride by being a park with limited attractions.

You're right. I used to detest Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for its shortcomings BUT I must say it's not an overall bad attraction. It still is the newest ride in Magic Kingdom, has a wonderful atmosphere and animatronics. It's just too short. Also, it is a roller coaster that has a lower height restriction than Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain.

7 Dwarves is okay, but I'm not going to knock over people to get to it in the morning though. It is just a short dark ride disguised as a rollercoaster. I would rather have gotten a redo of Snow White's Scary Adventure and a real coaster.

I would have rather gotten the original SDMT layout and a different IP ride where Fairytale Hall is. I’ve always felt Aladdin would make a great dark ride.
