EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[jt04]

Yes.

And neither is learning so you could still learn about construction and structural engineering.

Are you saying they had to build flat facades because that was the only option available?

Yes. His own....

 

[nickys]

Maybe. Perhaps chance then, and a creator who thinks outside the box will have an moment. I keep thinking about the view of the Adventureland pagoda as seen from Frontierland. Sort of like that.

You mean like a Switzerland pavilion built behind (and on top of) France? Matterhorn, here we come! Or the Himalayas perhaps?

Or expand the Morroco theming.

Or expand the Morroco theming.

It was actually a joke.

There is a small area in front of Rat that could fit something in, the France expansion used half an expansion pad. But that has nothing whatsoever to do with the flat facade. The flat facade is a lazy and cheap version of what could have been done.

Apparently some people think the roof system supports may be maxed out with just a basic facade. They may be right. They seem very sure anyway.

The flat is a parapet... And that's not how roofs are designed.

Let’s start again.

You suggested that “ it would allow them to add other elements visible from WS in the future because they minimized weight and loading on the roof structure.“. By which I assumed you believed they could literally build on top of it. Hence my joke about Switzerland / Himalayas. Mountains? High altitude? Never mind.

I was suggesting they could build on top of it with things like the spires of SWL, props like the Eiffel tower, Beast's Castle or rock work with additional supports on the outside edges of the building.

I like the Switzerland idea. Fondue and Swiss chocolate Yum.

It’s meant to be Paris, not the Alps. There’s the Eiffel Tower there already, albeit the false perspective is now gone. And the Beast’s Castle is in MK. If they intended to add those features they would have already done so.

Who?

Who?

Read a page or two back.

The only person to say that seems to be you?

Seems like its only @jt04 that mentioned anything about roof system support limitations.

Sacré-Cœur Basilica?

Moroccan minarets?

French alps?

Casablanca prop?

Waterfall?

HoND bell tower?

I can churn these out forever.

 

[lazyboy97o]

Who?

I’ll say it. The roof is not designed for the additional dead and wind loads that would be required to support intensive scenic elements.

I may have misunderstood but I thought people said the roof wasn't able to support more than itself and the current facade/parapet/overhang thing. I'm not great with nuance.

So build it stronger?
