Euro Disney Strikes Restructuring Deal

[Kristofke]

And what is the definition of unpopular?

Timekeeper closed, that was one of the best attractions in Disneyland Paris.

And it was popular with visitors.

Off topic (but not) why did they close the "Old Mill"?
Was it not popular? Too costly to maintain? Not enough capacity?
It's very beautiful!

 

[Kristofke]

a very very low capacity

Don't make it more seasonal please
One of the reasons I don't want go back is that in lower seasons
there are a lot of attracions closed.
They have to do something , yes ,
What, I don't know
But it is fustrating that I will never see some of the attracions because they
are seasonal and the only time we can go to DPL is in low season.

I'm not saying close up the whole resort, or Disneyland, just the studios.
It's not like you would be missing out on alot of attraction anyways.
But I understand it must be frustrating being a Dinsey fan in Europe.

I agree its gotta suck, but which is worse having the park to close completely or having to see fewer attractions?

 

[gardabble]

I agree, that's why I think they should make the Studios seasonal.
As far as replacing unpopular attractions, that would be great but expensive.

But they are already doing that in Disneyland in California. Lots of the old attractions are now either getting replaced or refurnished.

Breaks down often and has extremely low capacity! :animwink:

Yes they are (after years of neglect and attraction space sitting empty) but Disneyland California is not a billion (plus) in debt. I don't think DLP is in a financial position to replace rides when they become unpopular (not yet anyways).
What attractions would you call unpopular at DLP?

I think DLP should cut some of their hotels and golf courses for starters. Way too many hotels, they got 7 more than Tokyo Disney (at most dlp should only need 3-4 hotels). That should help cut some of their expenses.

Since new hotel owners have build hotels on property, it seems to me that they'll have some bussiness to make. Those people wanna make profit. So I think the hotel capacity in Paris wasn't high enough yet, otherwise they wouldn't built that many new hotels.

Don't forget, our biggest hotel (New Port Bay) can be seen as the smallest in WDW, hotels in Paris aren't that big!
