I am actually very excited about this. The addition of a new dark ride was certainly needed at Epcot. IP argument aside it fits well in France, it will pull some of the crowd to the other side of the showcase away from Frozen as well. I haven't ridden the Paris version but from the looks, with maybe some plussing on the WDW version, this can be a great addition to the park.

There are a few nice physical details that I've gleaned (again only from videos) The wheels of the cart you scurry under actually turn, and there's a curtain that lifts as if pulled up by Linguini as he ushers you off.
Projection quality at this scale has only improved in the last few years, so hopefully that will be a plus over Paris.
As I recall, the vehicles don't tilt or move at all, beyond physically roaming the sets of course.

There is a small forward tilting effect, the cars spin independent to their base and they bounce/wobble to simulate movement when in front of a screen.

The hype for the rat ride seems insane i think, and thinking about it, even though it takes up most space of New Fantasyland, and with the insane success of the movie in March, and the setting of France, I think of Beauty and The Beast. DEAR GOD come the next two weeks till D23 i pray and so should you that a Beauty and The Beast attraction won't come to the France Pavilion. A Ratatouille ride would be awesome

I think at this point we're safe from BatB. I'm sure they see sales related to the franchise as saturated after FLE, so Rat (underutilized at WDW in attractions and merch) is probably more appealing, with the opportunity to move new merchandise.
That's just a guess of mine, but I'd imagine it's a reason. Perhaps they think the number of Remy plushies they could sell would outnumber the increase in the number of Belle plushies they'd get.

DLP's Ratatouille ride is a lot cheaper than TDL's BatB. That's probably the reason.

and cooler if walt disney imagineering decides to enhance it
I'm afraid too few would find it funny enough to qualify as a joke.

Rat meets the WDW opening deadline.

Knowing Tokyo's standards and their Pooh ride, I'm pretty sure their BatB will be a much better experience than Ratatouille.
But I'm glad Epcot is getting the rat instead of the beast

A high gloss floor would give a mirror-effect and ruin the effect because it would be obvious where the screen ends. Maybe a semi-gloss!
