Ratatouille: Kitchen Calamity
Fall 2020
![]()
Coming to the France Pavilion in Quarter 3 of 2020, is a clone of the Ratatouille attraction in Walt Disney Studios Paris - Ratatouille: Kitchen Calamity. This LPS trackless dark ride attraction shrinks you down to the size of a rat (not bat), as you try to maneuver your way through an active kitchen setting.
The show building will be located in the expansion pad to the east of the France Pavilion, as the walking path will extend around the west side of the facade, and snake around to a new area that opens up to a French plaza, with park benches and foliage all around you - as well as the queue portion to the attraction.
It is rumored that the Circle Vision show - Impressions de France, will get a new film along with the opening of Ratatouille in 2020, but that is unconfirmed.

Below is a ride-through video done by SoCal 360 of the attraction in Walt Disney Studios Paris - to give a sense of what will be coming to the World Showcase Pavilion in 2020.
Attraction Ride-Through
With the attraction essentially being a clone, and the new layout confirmed as well as the project as a whole at the 2017 D23, there isn't much more detail to go into with this attraction. It will be a welcome dark ride to the World Showcase promenade, taking some of the crowds away from the eastern side of the lagoon with Coco and Frozen dominating the popularity. Ratatouille and the upcoming UK attraction (which will be written in 2021!) is a very smart logistical move by imagineering, balancing out two rides on each side of the lagoon.
With the pithy project write-up -- for future shorter projects I'd like to try and take the time to spotlight some past projects presented on the forum, in particular when they relate to the topic being discussed.
Thowback Time
In this case - I'd like us to travel back to January 2015 in the first immunity challenge of @RMichael21 's The Sole Imagineer Competition. @Sam4D23 @JokersWild and the rest of Team 'Baxtanu' presented a new attraction for the France Pavilion - and when looking back at it, was very impressed with how they basically nailed the location of the show building multiple years in advance!
Especially since this project Red and I are working on very much deals with predictions of the future - I wanted to showcase this within the Ratatouille section not only to re-visit an excellent historical boat ride concept, but also to illustrate how close their location decisions came.

Thank you everyone again for reading - hope you enjoyed both the project and a little throwback, and tune in (hopefully) tonight for another installment - as we have crossed the halfway point to 50 projects for the 50th!
Would Korea pay for a smaller representation than all other nations in WS?If I may suggest something for the area in front, a small Korea pavilion would fit perfectly there.
Maybe it’s just me but that footprint looks just about the size of Germany including restaurant. Maybe someone else could correct me if I’m wrong but there’s enough room for a couple shops, QS, and a table service.Would Korea pay for a smaller representation than all other nations in WS?
Hmm will consider it in the future years! Though I think another country is rumored in final talks before this can happen which leads me to...If I may suggest something for the area in front, a small Korea pavilion would fit perfectly there.
Yep!Have we thought of anything for Brazil?
I’d like to contribute some ideas if possible. Tag me if you want me to add feedback onto what you already have.Hmm will consider it in the future years! Though I think another country is rumored in final talks before this can happen which leads me to...

Since you got here after this concept started - the link above is the timeline of this 50 for 50th project. So we're combining actual rumored/confirmed projects and adding in some things that are in line with things that we think Disney would do in the coming years...and using the actual timeline of events for it.
Just wrapped up 2020. And the rumored Brazil project is slated for either 2021 or 2022 - so expect that project coming up soon!
By all means - feel free to! There's almost 6 pages of content already!I’d like to contribute some ideas if possible. Tag me if you want me to add feedback onto what you already have.
Still probably my favourite project from that competiton! Can't wait to see what else is posted today!
No 3am project tonight sadly. Not finished yet and don't want to rush it out just to say it's done.
Though as a tease for the project, yesterday I was in Germany researching for the alpine restaurant...tonight I will be sleeping in one of these @Disney Dad 3000
