In China. Generally the worlds Disney fans (for the most part) are not going to travel to China to go to a Disney park to enjoy the specified attractions.

Agreed- but they are both headliner attractions.
Rat is a good ride that will appeal to a wide swath of guests. I’ve said so since riding it in 2018.
Both Rat and GotG will have long lines simply because the park needs more capacity and not just food and booze kiosks.

I would agree. The ride isn't bad - more a bit meh. Especially with the trackless rides at DHS being superior IMHO. It's cute. Nothing special.
Other than some of the execution elements (i.e. the facade) and that they could have pushed the Epcot/France integration a bit more with a slight story rewrite - this one isn't itself as offensive. It's that it's part of this overall aggressive change, so guilt by association. I feel the need to dislike it. Where, if this was the only project vs. part of FEA and its legacy, I think I would be OK and see the value for the audience who loves the characters.
As for Coco - if it was a celebration of Day of the Dead, I totally agree as well. Slapping a Coco fantasyland ride in less so. Having him explain little things about the celebration and its history. That has strong possibility IMHO.

I just passed out for a moment.
You like it!
I agree, it looks very pretty. I bet will feel a bit "magical" in the area at night.

I’ve re-evaluated my opinion. Rat is a fun ride and a great addition. Crush is a fun ride and also would have been a *good* addition. But given the expansion to the pavilion and superb theming of the area, the correct decision was to clone Rat over Crush.
I can give credit where it’s due. The ride? A solid C+/D- and all the parks need more of them.
And I’m not so obtuse as to not enjoy this…
Although we could have done without the dreary weather. Would have been exemplary if WDI could have also recreated the rainy gray skies and chilly wind we had when there for real authenticity. Like the Mexico pavilion only miserable.

The expansion at EPCOT doesn't look like that, though, unfortunately.
Not that I'm against it -- it's an okay addition and EPCOT needs the ride capacity.

Looks great. Now get rid of the stupid Genie lighting BS and bring back Fastpass+
I wish I had a better picture:
The walk around the corner and down the street and slowly seeing this area unveiled… it’s just wonderful.

Honestly, after years of thinking Epcot's iteration would look inferior to WDSP's version, I've changed my view.
I've yet to actually step foot in Epcot's expansion but went to WDSP on two separate trips since it opened.
This expansion has turned from an "oh that's cool" to "this is awesome!"

I'm pretty sure that's a photo of the WDSP version, not the EPCOT one.

It is. I'm just more impressed with the pictures coming out of Epcot.

Oh. I think the WDSP one looks much better -- the EPCOT one has several features that just don't work/make any sense (to me, at least, obviously YMMV).
I’m not. And that’s ok.
To me, it looks too cramped.Surfin' Tuna

I haven't been on the one in France, but I've now done Epcot enough to say I like it. It's not great, but it is cute. If one considers where it is, it's great and much, much needed. Having spent a lot of time in the Epcot version, though, I can say I like the pictures form WDSP a lot. Like with everything in WDW they are shooting for the bare minimum they can do, and unfortunately it will all be huge hits with the average donor. Remember when they used to make people feel like guests?
