Possible Attraction in France pavilion (Epcot) Update - new Attraction Greenlit

[Bocabear]

See Rocket Rods.

That is what I am afraid of... I did see Rocket Rods a couople times before it went away... It was amazing that they destroyed three attractions to put that crappy ride in...

Anyway. Back to Rat.

Forgive me if this has been brought up, but do we anticipate that the Rat ride and queue will be an exact replica of the Parisian version?

Anyway. Back to Rat.

Thanks for being as open as you can be regarding France and Ratatouille (among other projects). I really appreciate it

Also, big kudos to everyone else who has commented on the state of these projects

I could also say the proposed entrance could be north west of the existing pavilion with a new queue / pathway around the rear of the pavilion to the new showbuilding. This would leave the IDF theatre untouched. Should they wish to think like that and wish to do so.

I find it hard to get excited about this if it truly isn't coming online until 2020?? I'm not privy to what it takes to build things but I don't understand why or how, other than laziness, it takes three years to build something like this. *deep breaths*

Quick by Disney standards.

Wdw timeline as follows:

2017
ROL-AK
Pandora-AK
HEA-MK
2018
TSL-HS
2019
SWE-HS
2020
RAT-EPCOT

That's a lot of new coming down the pipe before RAT.. and we know Disney Marketing needs time to milk everything so I'd expect, at a minimum, 6 months after SWE, before RAT were to open.

Place the entrance on the Morocco side, add a QS location like a miniature version of Remy's

So so sorry! HEA? In MK? Not sure what that abbreviation is! So sorry!

 

[DisneyJayL]

Replacement for Wishes.

I think Happily Ever After.

OOOO Happily Ever After that's right. Also Hop reopens in the summer!

 

[jaxonp]

I think Happily Ever After.

Haha, yes sorry. I forgot to type out the name in my response.

 

[jaxonp]

OOOO Happily Ever After that's right. Also Hop reopens in the summer!

And it's going to be YUUUGE.

I was under the impression they wanted this open BEFORE Star Wars, hence one of the driving reasons to go with RAT and not the BATB clone from Tokyo.

Happy Ever After the MK fireworks

Perhaps, regardless of how much money BATB makes, that WDI is committed to RAT regardless of timeline.

Guardians was the first choice to open mid 2019. Now that's fallen behind Rat was brought forward to take it's place but probably still won't make 2019.

Happily Ever After, the new night time show.

Interesting. With GOtG is it a tech thing, money thing, legal thing, or something else holding it up?

Maybe it's a conscious thing.
