Okay thanks. I saw the 'future attraction' star at Germany, and was super confused.

They originally had planned to put in the Rhine River Cruise attraction in that Pavilion. However it never happened. I just put a star on that pavilion to show that if two new attractions were added, one to France and one to Germany, how it would spread out the crowds

I'd like to see Canada get an attraction if there's room. I don't know about UK, though. I'm afraid any attraction they'd build there would possibly take out that courtyard. I love that courtyard. It's a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the rest of EPCOT and I love getting fish and chips and watching the British Revolution (or whatever that band's name is) play.

They UK pavilion is the one that I would love to see expanded and built out to be an even larger & better representation of the real UK. And give us a ride in there too while we're at it

Like, incorporating Scotland, Wales, and N. Ireland into it, instead of the UK pavilion focusing solely on England (though I would wait a couple years, since there was talk of N. Ireland leaving after Brexit).

If Canada or the UK had an attraction, it'd be perfect. Sigh... Maybe someday.

Well, Canada does have the Circle Vision show. I'm less concerned about pavilions that at least have something like that (yes, I'm aware of the irony given this is a thread about France getting a ride).

To me, Canada, American Adventure, China, France and obviously Mexico and Norway aren't as key for attractions as the other pavilions. If France gets a ride, great, which makes some sense simply due to the IPs involved. But I'd like to see the other pavilions get something (especially among Morroco/Japan or Italy/Germany to help bridge the gaps in those areas). Germany has a marginal thing with the train garden, but I don't feel that gets to a level that I'm hoping for.

Is this whole building in DLP the Rat Ride? Because, if it is, it's massive: 1.5 acres.

Of your choices of Morocco/Japan and Italy/Germany, I'd have to pick the second choice for each of them (Japan & Germany). Plus whatever new countries are added.

Just my very subjective one. I've never ridden it, so my opinion is limited in terms of what I can judge, but it doesn't look like a ride that I'd put on the same level as Tower of Terror, or Splash Mountain, or American Adventure. I guess one could argue that the tech puts it up there, but the ride doesn't (to me) seem to be aimed at being a headliner. For me, an E-ticket is the ride you put on the guide map, and a ride that one would tell their friends to experience if they could only do one ride or show at a park. Rat doesn't seem to be shooting for that title to me.

I don't think that's a bad thing, though. I don't think Epcot needs a high-capacity E-ticket right now. It just needs to fix all of the ones it already has towards the front of the park, and some fun new attractions on the scale and quality levels of Ratatouille and Frozen (although in my ideal world they'd be free of IP, but who are we kidding at this point) throughout the World Showcase.

Ohh boy.. well I have ridden it, over 3 trips to the park in the last 3 years, and I can tell you it's far more advanced than any ride Disney currently has at any US park. It is similar to a Spiderman/Terminator attraction but with much more Disney finesse. It is an E-ticket if there ever was one. The ride is incredible and would be a perfect fit for WS. Much better than old rickety Frozstrom. Also, this ride IS THE HEADLINER for the entire resort in Paris.

Then, hey, even better. Either way, I'll take it.

What's truly incredible about Rat is that it really captures the laid back sensibility of the French people. If you've ever been to Paris, you'd understand how the calm and quiet the French are. This ride really translates that mood well until you get into the kitchen scenes. Rides like this are very hard to watch through youtube and understand the effects you witness in person. Adding this ride and the restaurant from Paris would really bring French pavilion to the top. The ride would garner just as long of waits as Frozen but move double if not more people per hour than Frozen. I honestly can't see a reason not to put this ride in the WS. It's a no brainer, imo.

Has is occurred to anyone that if Guardians and Ratatouille happen there would be two new ips in an ip light park (a coaster and a high-capacity dark ride).

So... my point being if they were to redo Figment that could potentially be what Chapek is talking about how there would be old and new. Purely speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if something for fans happens and then also add ips elsewhere as in Rat & Gotg.

Balance with Frozen would happen in WS and FW would get its first coaster and in the process potentially save the Tower of Terror. And if they were to add another ride and fix Innovations like has been speculated then I consider that a compromise, but an astounding win.

I'm so pumped up for D23:D

This way management and some fans are happy, and the diehard fans plus the park's ride balance will mostly still remain (Rat going in France really is the best thing after an original ride that could happen for WS, and at least Gotg would be a much needed family coaster). Thankfully anything they seem to be doing are much better decisions than Frozen: Ever After.
