Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[Sir_Cliff]

Wow so Disney’s response to Epic Universal and Universal Studios UK = one more spinner in DLP
Marvellous!

Yes, I am sure they rushed the approval and announcement of this spinner just to steal Universal Studios UK's thunder.

Oh. And this.

I said to Michelle just last week this might be the last trip where we don’t have to decide what nighttime show to watch.

The weatherproofing project continues. Expect the Buzz overflow to be next.

Is the Marvel drone show not on anymore?

The timing meant we had to choose whether to watch the fireworks or Marvel.

Let’s hope this isn’t Stargate.2

No. It was only seasonal; we did enjoy it but it was a temporary offering. The lake show is permanent.

I should have said this was the last time we didn’t have to choose between what permanent night show to watch.

The music loop for World Premiere sounds nice, at least:

Educated guess; these are test rigs before they build the real ones. The squares aren’t screens; just part of the structure.

I’m disappointed the WORLD PREMIERE opening delayed from Late April to May 15. I will just miss getting to check it out.

At least it's opening sooner than the covered outdoor dining at Casey's Corner!

Honestly, I do not have a problem with the announced carousel and swings attractions. The footprints for those attractions really could not hold much of anything else. I'm happy when they give us something to do.

The Up spinner looks good, quite a subtle theme. Am I right in thinking this will be Disney's second wave swinger ever after the one at DCA?

They aren't screens...?

So far all the artwork and even the press release has said 'water screens'

Also at least some of the barges will need to come in and out each day to charge the drones, resupply the pyro etc.

I think we could end up with a similar yet more compact version of the Luminous set up.

As someone else said, why is the swing ride themed to Up, when it's not in World of Pixar? They could have picked any movie.

Personally I would have moved Magic Carpets there and replaced Carpets with something else, even a restaurant.

Was the presentation streamed anywhere?
On a website not Twitter.

Up should’ve really replaced magic carpets.

No, everything was kept embargoed until after the panel had finished no streaming. They did allow photos
