Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[BrianLo]

I am also probably in a minority who don't think there is a huge gulf between the two Frozen rides. Some people treat it as a C to F ticket gap. Whereas I find it more a D to E gap. Comparing HKDL (not Epcot version) to Tokyo.

As am I. It’s going to require more time with Paris and HK’s version and a repeat visit to TDS. Objectively it’s a better ride. Subjectively I wasn’t over the top wowed like I thought I was going to be. I think sticking to a boat is perhaps the big hang up mistake. It doesn’t make any sense for the castle scenes and the constant switchback system used seemed… odd.

There’s a classification gap. But I also would probably just call Frozen Ever after 2.0 an E(-) or D(+) and Tokyo’s an E, not an “F”. The F version should have been LPS and done a bit more in the queue instead of Frozen Ever After 3.0.

The new map does kinda make you laugh… the parks the same, but now there’s a huge walk to a new back area that contains… nothing?

Oh sorry there is a third replica of the weaker version Frozen ride at the very furthest end.

Park saved.

They also added a bunch of infastructure to expand the park later for Lion King and Etc. The lake itself is a massive show space that will host huge shows, arrendale contains its own water shows as well. Most people in Europe have probably never seen the Frozen flume ride before so it will be all new to them and Im sure will have a 2 hour+ line at all times like frozen in Epcot does. Plus a new smaller ride, theater, shops, food options...I think its a pretty big upgrade

Oh I know. But no one will care that it’s setup for the future, when it opens to grand fanfare and there is nothing there beside frozen at the very end.

It’s the Galaxy Edge problem all over.

Rise of the Resistance, both the exterior, and the walkway by it have nothing of visual interest going on.

And it’s not like AK either, there just really is no atmosphere unlike the other side (though obviously it was still a flawed product but you actually have the land on the other side).

I hope we you see what I’m saying.

Internally FEA is a D.

That makes sense since its layout is longer than Maelstrom.

Its unassuming exterior is necessitated by it being a hidden Resistance base. And it hides an enormous show building.

That’s the idea! It’s an originally hidden base remember? (Just saw the post above mine!)

Oh wow they finished the shop project quicker than I was expecting!

I assumed base. On history that this shop renovation would take at least until Lion King opened.

Trust. I made something in minutes that would’ve taken hours and tons of various skills to eloquate, hundreds of hours of time if not thousands to learn the tools to even be able to do it. Gatekeeping is ending.

Have you seen Arrival? Think of it like a high-concept visual language that you can rapidly iterate and extrapolate information. Picture-based can give more information than words, like Mandarin but on crack.

And that’s just one specific use-case, not even quantifying once AGI is reached (really just based on energy-scaled compute, ie. Do you build enough nuclear, solar, battery capacity, and have cheap oil.

Give it 5 years and Apps won’t even exist. No one will really use websites anymore either.

Soon, you won’t even need your brain.

It’s making idiots dumber but if you would it right, exponentially smarter.

Ie. Put lecture slides into a Grok folder and then have it summarize it and make study guide for you and then flash cards for the most important terms.

Could we move the AI rubbish to a chit chat thread thank you please. There’s off topic and there’s on another planet.

The new ToT gist shop opened yesterday, missed it by 2 days!

Studios was struggling last week:

- Ratatouille closed for refurb
- ToT not using all 3 shafts
- Crush and Magic Carpets breaking down
- Alice, Studio D and Pixar shows all closed

The few things that were operating could not handle the crowds. The park needs ride capacity ASAP

I know people dislike Cars Road Trip but it is the kind of high capacity ride the park needs on paper and can't get rid of yet

I agree. The park needs family rides like Ratatouille, Cars road trip and Spiderma, especially since there are many people who don't go on thrill rides like the 2 coasters and the Tower of Terror.
