    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    The problem is dat Studios lacked green, trying to increase that percentage by throwing everything into one single lane is a choice. But it is probably the main reason for not building a Hollywood version of main street. I think a more quiete green space instead of another busy area is a welcome...

    Villain Con (Minions) ride to replace Shrek 4-D (rumor)

    You know Secret Life is a Illuminations movie as well right ;)?

    Entire facade is back in scaffolding again, so this seems to corroborate your claim. Source: LaughingPlace twitter

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    There is a wild rumour going around that Sequoia Lodge is getting rethemed to National Geographic. I am curious if these changes are part of it. Otherwise the changes are baffling, especially since 20leagues is getting a new Disney+ serie/movie. On the other hand it would fit DLP's mentality of...

    Why is Hyperspace Mountain Still a Thing?

    Neither of those are Vekoma's. Python in the Efteling got rebuild in 2018 after 37 years (it was one of Vekoma's first coasters) and that one is outdoor. SM shouldn't need a retrack until its +-40th year.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    The thing is, most of these additions are things that WDS should've had at opening day. They are fixing the foundation by creating more greenery, the lake, back-of-the-house facilities, toilets, food etc. Its understandable that none of that is exciting and they should definitely add more...

    New 350 room DVC tower coming to Disneyland Hotel

    To be fair this one blends pretty well with the other towers of the Disneyland hotel and the style in general.

    Does this count as the first new addition to Disneyland since 2006?

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    Thats perspective. If you’re standing in the land you’re going to be looking up on the mountain. But this pic is taken from the beginning of mainstreet, putting it almost flat on the horizon.

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    It should be the same e-ticket as planned for California Adventure.

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    The original ride was going to be a demoltion derby/trackless flatride. I think this is a better use of the money and it has a higher capacity. Harry Potter has the same setup with a big E-ticket and a vekoma junior next to it (which Hong Kong doesn't have yet, Tokyo has two already). Although I...

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    No it will be similar to Barnstormer/Gadget Go coaster with a more elaborate decor. Its a vekoma junior so no swinging vehicles. This one will be 55 meters longer than Barnstormer though.

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    How does this work for Hollywood Studios and Epcot? Which both lack waterrides.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    Yhea thats for sure. You can also see on the name tag next to the D23 maquettes that Disney calls the Hong Kong version "Frozen Ever After" while Tokyo says "Frozen attraction". Showbuilding size also doesn't match at all.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    Not as far as we know. Based on the partial layout we have it looks like a bigger version of the Maelstorm layout. But the location of the lifthill and the switch + drop is identical to Frozen Ever After.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    True, but the ride system itself doesn't change anymore. In addition we have the blueprints for the Paris copy which reveals its a bigger version of Frozen Ever After (Disney itself calls the ride in Hong Kong the same see the name tag next to the D23 vehicle).

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    The Tangled ride is most likely going to be an intamin tow boat ride, the one Paris has been using. It works with a cable underneath the water that pulls the boats, so no height differences. Frozen was rumoured to use the Shanghai Pirates system. But the boats look identical to the one from...

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    The layout is a copy and Disney even calls it 'Frozen Ever After'. So most likely the projectd faces.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Studios desperately needs infill and more family rides. A teacups ride is perfect for it, also because I expect this one to be slower. The theming of the facade matches with the new restaurant thats getting built. The pond outside has a small gazebo-ish building. We know for sure it is a...
