EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[MisterPenguin]

Ugh. The area looks gorgeous but that’s all it is? Crazy.

... and the entrance to an E Ticket ride.

But, I guess, that's all there is!!

and the entrance to an E Ticket ride.

I would call it a mediocre D ticket.

The marquee that will be very far from the ride is the sort of ornamental metal work that should have been done at the Skyliner station instead of tube steel and metal strips.

In this environment it’s a high D.

I mean... there’s already an entire pavilion? This is a pretty decent and substantial addition.

The concept art make it look like more than it really is! Sorry I won’t say anything anymore.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I would agree. I enjoyed it in WDSP. But, it's a D-Ticket.

I will also say, the more I look at the flats. They could work. It's more that it feels like they are missing a layer. So, it makes the flats feel very (actually) flat and 2D. If they added another layer of facades, it would add a ton to this.

not trying to get you to not say anything, it just seemed odd to need more. Not meant to put you off or anything.

One of the few positives from the team of original DCA was removing the overhead power lines.

Apologizes if it came off offensive. The last few comments on here have been pretty weird towards me..I love Disney and I’m here for conversation. Not for arguments.

no worries! I just don’t want you to feel as if your contribution isn’t warranted!

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

I can totally see where you would find the concept art misleading. I know that area (onstage and backstage) pretty well. So, I think I had a good reference point. But it could imply more and still be accurate. Especially if you generally compare it to the WDSP area. Not saying that's a good comparison, but I think people would do that naturally to some extent.

Now back to making my @realBobChapek voo doo doll...

What rating does WDI give it?

that cracked me up, I would love one as well.

Now there's an unbiased source.

Put me in camp D-

Well, industry insiders have usually insisted we use WDI designation (for the more recent rides... older rides have a history of actual tickets showing what class of ride they were... which sometimes changed).

A wildly popular C Ticket that always has long lines doesn't make it an E Ticket.

And conversely, an E Ticket that isn't popular doesn't make it a C Ticket.

Indeed - the scale is there, but I didn't feel like any of the show elements congealed to achieve an experience that lives up to its size. Everything feels at least a little half baked, like they had the right idea but didn't commit to seeing the production through in a way that makes for a well-integrated, seamless experience. There are a few too many instances where it feels like the guests are asked to make allowances for poor showmanship that WDI should have accounted for.

I'd probably give it a D+ just for sheer ambition of scale, but there's definitely something rough-draft-y about it.

Building a more meaningful motion base into the ride vehicles, and removing the "floor problem" should have been priorities for the Epcot clone. I think that could have stepped the ride up into actual Immersive E-Ticket territory. And is it really too much to ask for AN Animatronic? Even just one of Remy at the end?

 

[Epcot82Guy]

@yensidtlaw1969 I totally agree. It was totally fine. But just felt a bit budget cut or something.

It's an E-ticket. You guys are seriously short selling the first new E-ticket at the park in 15 years...

Rise and Shanghai Pirates are in a different league, and it's not fair to compare anything to them unless they are going for a scale of similar caliber. It's a solid E, but it has its share of legitimate grievances that its LPS peers don't, but calling it a D isn't exactly fair. E-? The scale is there, it's just not as well-executed as say Hunny Hunt over in Tokyo.

I'm personally excited!
