I don't think so. Look at the concept art; it clearly has Tower of Terror.

A major expansion was announced today for Disneyland Paris, including its own Marvel Land. Could this be what the DCA one will look like as well? And could it possibly be taking over Hollywood Blvd? Or will it be a new area built using an expansion pad?View attachment 267088

How awkwardly uninspired. Though, I guess that's the general feel of WDSP, so it should fit in well.

I think you are correct, but this concept art doesn't show as much detail as the Hong Kong Tomorrowland Marvel additions which I think could also relate to DCA:

I hope DCA gets a better Marvel land than that or that the concept art doesn’t accurately represent what the land will look like. It looks like a lot of flat buildings and concrete. Paul Pressler already gave us a stucko building land, and Pixar Pier is cheap IP land, I’m really hoping for something better for DCAs Marvel land.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Totally unimpressed by all three IP lands. If that is what they’re planning to force into DCA, then wow.

Two of those buildings at WDSP are being rethemed for marvel land.

Regardless of the IP debate or popularity/longevity of the franchise itself, Marvel is an inherently flawed setting for a theme park environment, similar to the Muppets. The stories largely take place in everyday real-world settings that aren't particularly inspiring; it's the characters and gizmos that it interesting. However, theme parks tell stories though architecture, landscape, and the built environment, not characters and gadgets, which just doesn't translate to something particularly inspiring here.

There's really not a whole lot they can do to make an area uniquely Marvel beyond awkwardly sprinkling props and signage everywhere, which appears to what they've done. But signage and props do not a themed environment make; they're just decorations applied to the surface. I suspect there's been a reason that they've struggled for so long to come up with a good plan for DCA: they're saddled with a theme that just doesn't work well for the medium they're using.

I wouldn't get to excited about this one either way. Appears they are doing a lot of overlay for the existing WDSP attractions like the stunt show, RNRC and Armageddon effects show. None of which is in DCA. I would consider this a Paris only design.

Well you can please everybody.

 

[Kram Sacul]

It's as exciting as Pixar Pier.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Well you can please everybody.

I know. Nothing’s changed.

Its also going to include SWGE and a Frozen Land. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads...ear-expansion-announced-for-wds-paris.938477/

So, in addition to this barren warehouse land, they also get a cloned land with one less attraction and a land originally designed for another resort. The other areas look like they will be nice, and WDSP desperately needs something, but those other areas don't really matter in this thread.

The Marvel area looks terrible in the concept art, regardless of how nice the other additions to WDSP may wind up being. It's very bare and doesn't seem to have any actual place making. Since this thread is about the same land potentially coming to DCA, that's really the only part of this expansion that matters in this discussion.

Based on this art, I'd even say Hollywoodland is better as it is.

I wouldn’t go that far. A plane and a fresh coat of paint would be a big step up for the barren wasteland that is Hollywood studios in DCA. The problem is there’s room for major improvement to the land before it even approaches being a good land worthy of being in a Disney Park.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Looks like Universal Studios Hollywood. Along the lines of Hollywood Pictures Backlot, which is mainly just warehouse buildings.

 

[Hatbox Ghostbuster]

If this is any indication of what DCA is getting...consider me...

 

[dweezil78]

The artwork is so weird if you zoom in on the existing studio stuff. It's like someone took a Google Earth image and painted over it.

Hi-res art here - http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/...AGE_DLP Announcement_Feb 27 2018.jpg~original

Looks like they are also adding the alien spinner ride from DHS Toy Story area too?

 

[Shigg. W. McGee]

Am I going insane or is the lake in the Frozen area shaped kind of like Paradise Bay?

Nah, Paradise Bay is very blobby. Maybe a a little bit like World Showcase lagoon though with the 'friend ship' looking boat, but even that isn't nearly as rounded.

I wouldn't read too much into blurry concept art.
