EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Prototype82]

I really do wonder what they're going to do with the spaces beneath the windows on that blue building...It's so odd that the shutters go down past the glass...

 

[EricsBiscuit]

A) construction is just part of the jigsaw. Training is a bigger one

B) There is some debate if they want crowds descending on a debuting attraction.

They need more people in the parks. They should want crowds.

They need more people in the parks. They should want crowds.

Current health and safety considerations suggest otherwise. It will open when it is felt attendance can be controlled. Be that when it is ready or later.

 

[WondersOfLife]

Does that look as bad in person as it does in the picture? Is it actually a flat facade?

It looks pretty good to me. Would you prefer the "go away blue" ?

 

[WondersOfLife]

If there's any place where a brand new attraction would be able to open given the social distancing guidelines... It would have to be Epcot. You can literally stretch a line out for like a quarter of a mile before doing a switch-back. Or, even the virtual queue system reservation for people to reserve BEFORE arriving at the parks with their Epcot park reservation ticket.

Epcot is so freakin large. Go for it Disney. Just be efficient.

I loved laserdiscs. That’s something that should be brought back.

I still have 150 and a LD/DVD player as part of my setup (No way am I replacing 150 movies). I also have a 400-disc DVD play and a 3D Blu-Ray so I'm pretty well covered

I think that’s silly to try to control attendance when they need more people in the parks to survive.

Ummmm...mass infections look great for future attendance.

Well, considering what’s going on worldwide, they obviously don’t.

What? Lol

There is still a pandemic and physical distancing is still necessary.

Never said it wasn’t. They should move to what Uni is doing. No reservations necessary and high incentives for guests to come. Going to the parks is safer than the grocery store.

Considering that Universal is reducing hours (and obviously aren't pulling the numbers they're expecting at all), I don't think much will help the ongoing situation. Even with a shiny new ride too.

Have there been any significant infections/outbreaks traced back to the parks so far?

 

[Bender123]

That's why you control crowd levels...I thought that would be obvious.

Forgive me, but MMRR is a new ride that opened during a pandemic. If they can open a trackless rodent E-ticket in the marquee space at DHS during a pandemic, they can open one hidden behind a pavilion at the back of Epcot.

And Ratatouille isn't even an E!

Is it? Maybe Disney classifies it that way internally. It doesn't look like one in ride through videos.

It definitely had an E-ticket budget, but I feel like the ride is a little too exposed and bare to be an E-ticket in scale.

That's how I felt watching a video of it. It's certainly not bad, but seemed very sparse and too reliant on screens.

It’s going into an Epcot. Relative to everything else on offer, it’s an E. Were it going into DisneySea, it would be viewed as a small step above Dumbo.

Fair point.

Doesn't look as good as Spaceship Earth, Soarin', or Living with the Land (I've actually never been on Test Track 2.0 so can't judge it, but the original Test Track was better), but probably better than everything else currently there. And likely more popular with the general public than SE or LwtL, although maybe less than FEA.
