    Why is Hyperspace Mountain Still a Thing?

    Efteling started to remain open year-round as of 2010, which means that Python was not running year long for its first 29 years of operation. Hence the re-tracking after 37 years of Python in 2018 would actually indicate that a track replacement for SM after 30 years in 2025 would be quite...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Do we know what theme the hotel between NPBC & DV could be? I hope for a Boardwalk style hotel & area to complement the theme of NPBC and have a transition to DV. Though not sure if this still fits with the more generic look they seem to be going for the DV update & expansion.

    How would Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway fit in Disneyland Paris?

    Winnie the Pooh is probably not Star Wars or Frozen IP level. But I had a look at Shop Disney and saw that within the Toy section there are many Winnie the Pooh toys ranking even before any of the Disney Princess products - Grogu being in #1 spot. There is also a new Winnie the Pooh musical...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Some initial plans had a new hotel planned behind the coaster building of Flight Force and next to the land initially supposed to be for SW:GE. I assume that the Star Wars hotel was at least considered for DLP as well and could have fit at that location. With the plans for SW:GE changed, would...

    How would Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway fit in Disneyland Paris?

    The lack of a Winnie the Pooh attraction in DLP is what puzzles me the most. There is already one in each Disney Resort other than DLP. If they just build the basic dark ride it should not be that expensive at all and easily fit next to the Storybook Land Boats. It would not be a ride I am...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    I rediscovered this article by Disney and more published in 2014 about what the next couple of years of DLP would potentially look like: All About Disneyland Paris Future (2014) It's nice to see how some of those plans/rumours back then actually became reality - especially around the...

    That's a good point. Though I don't think adding flat rides in general is the issue what bothers many fans. Ideally it should be balanced out with additional e-ticket rides as well. Frozen might be a popular IP. But that one ride they are building right now would qualify more as a D-ticket.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    I did a simulation and it seems like Bob would look happier with Pandora, too. ;)

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    A SW speeder bike ride like Hagrid's sounds great. I absolutely love that ride and it would bring much needed kinetic energy to a SW area. However, Hagrid's is also said to be the most expensive coaster in the world (USD 300 Mio). I doubt that Disney would be able to cut those costs...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    As far as I know plans for the Lion King as a potential replacement for SW:GE were brought up by a French YouTube fan channel almost two years ago. Since then the rumour got picked about by some Disney fan news sites and has been pretty persistent on French discussion boards. My personal...

    There is actually a lot of fake vegetation within the existing land in AK that is capable of glowing at night. They could easily combine this with winter-resistant plants like ferns to complete the illusion. Or they go the indoor-route - like the Little Mermaid Lagoon in TDS - where a big part...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    I am originally from Germany and also don't see Universal opening a park there. They should rather pick a location that is already attractive to international visitors with a great transportation hub. Paris or London could be good options if there is space. Btw, in 1996 around 15% of all...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Seems like they did not even need Bob for this. :) I would actually hope for him to question why they plan to put (fake) trees somewhere. But seriously - some more green space with trees & water features will be very welcome to WDS. It just should not remain the only primarily feature of some...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Euro Disney Club members received an email today that there will be the opportunity for some members to join the D23 evening event on April 12th: "Enjoy an exceptional Gala dinner at the Convention Center of the Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel, on the same evening, with other...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    That is essentially the pattern and reality for DLP over the last 25+ years. So much time and money went into making R&D only to have those plans never getting realised and other parks benefiting from it. Without a question, internal plans and plenty of options for further attractions are out...

    Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro are set to visit Disneyland Paris next week (March 16). I would be delighted about any announcements for WDS. But I am keeping my hopes down. In any case this should mean reviews of the current expansion plans.

    Do you think they will announce a Mandalorian update for Star Tours or anything else new for the parks? Here is also an interview clip where Favreau was asked if he thought about what a potential ride for “The Mandalorian” might look like.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Does this mean we will get an "Avatar experience" in Paris rather sooner than later after all? I hope they bring Joe Rohde back for this as he knows how to create the world of Pandora and already has established a great collaboration with James Cameron and his team. They could share development...

    Why is Hyperspace Mountain Still a Thing?

    Depends on the bench mark for ride smoothness. :) But true, it got better with the new trains. For example, for Space Mountain in DLR the track was replaced after 26 years and for Eurosat in Europa-Park after 28 years. Hence, I would assume SM in DLP to get the same attention for its 30th...
