EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[aladdin2007]

We can argue about a lot of the stuff going on at Epcot but I think most would agree that the whole Ratatouille expansion including the ride are pretty good additions.

Some additional rides in WS would also be nice though. Something in Germany/Italy or Japan would help to fill in gaps around the lagoon.

especially since it has a huge show building gone to waste (in terms of an attraction) all these years

this is gonna be a solid addition to epcot once its open. Any darkride at epcot would help, but a major trackless darkride with a creperie and beautiful themed area is awesome.

Epcot is getting Remi Expansion, GotG Mega Coaster, Space 220, Innoventions/Center Spine refurb, Moana Forest, Entrance overhaul, SSE lighting, Harmonious, Play Pavilion, Gelataria, and ongoing pavillion renovations....Its shaping up to be quite an update! Id love it if they put this kinda money into AK or CA next!

I bolded all of the things that will get them a return in investment (aka Rides with gift shops).

I've watched the videos of the Paris one. It's cute. But, it's certainly not worth the wait this thing is going to have. Nor is it worth the length of this thread!

You can't judge it by watching videos. You forgot the fact that the ride is 4D. Aside from the trackless vehicle, huge props and screen, you get wind, scents, heat and water as you navigate through the kitchen. It's not an E-Ticket but it will surely be popular and will bring people to Epcot.

It's not an E-Ticket

Given its size and cost it absolutely should be an E Ticket.

Runaway Railway is not an E-Ticket right? I think Rat and Railway are the same category but they are far from the true E which is ROTR.

They could spend $485 million to wrap a coaster around Cinderella Castle but that wouldn’t mean it’s a good idea.

So Disney's buying another Stock Vekoma Family Coaster?

There are only a handful of stock roller coasters still for sale (Dragon Wagons, Wacky Worms, boomerangs, fireballs, Batman:The Ride) every other roller coaster is a custom build.

I forgot about Roller Sk8ers, and those rides are 25+ years old now.

Well, custom doesn't mean different, every time. One can order a custom ride that gets reproduced multiple times. Goes to show you what theming can do for a "stock ride". They really look different. Our family treated Goofy's Barn Stormer as "Baby's First Coaster". 20 years later, they've graduated to better ones at UO. I, on the otherhand, am still at the Barn Stormer level.

Can't make the trip to Paris to see it. Sounds like crazy crowds in Florida will be keeping our family away until 2022. Geez, it's gonna be a long time before we can return!

I know. When I finally get to return, there are going to be 5 or 6 rides completely new to me. Can’t remember if there was ever a trip with that much “new”, aside from my first trip.

Disagree. Solid D-ticket, but will attract large crowds in Florida.

If you have an opportunity to visit DLP, I’d highly recommend it. Specific to this thread, the Rat area at WDSP is fantastic, probably because it wasn’t shoehorned into a small area behind an existing pavilion.

 

[J4546]

thats true but I think they did a good job adding an expansion courtyard area with a fountain behind the existing pavilion and giving it a new ride, bathrooms, creperie, shop, and maybe more. Granted most of that courtyard area seems to be for what will certainly be a long que but even the switchbacks have cool themed covers to keep you shaded....it seems pretty well thought out, adds a pretty great trackless darkride to a park without many darkrides and fits the area well adding something major to a corner of the park that has no rides at all. My only main gripes are 1. The rat ride took up another possible future pavilion plot and 2. Its not open yet haha
