So does that mean they plan to build on all of that?

no just the area that will be affected...

Everything in the red area will be effected in some way. The permit says there will eventually be 4.1 acres of "impervious" surface which could be paving, concrete paths and/or buildings. The plan states that most of that area will be gravel parking, but I assume that is just a first phase since gravel would not be considered and impervious surface.

Thanks. Would this be just for the new attraction in France with some additional updates, or a new pavilion as well? That is a full expansion pad, right?

That is one of the expansion pads however it will not be used for a new country. I believe the new country pavilion which is rumored to be Brazil would be located between Germany and Italy.

A gravel road is typically considered impervious because of how they are designed and built. You want water to flow off the road area.

The real question is this: Will Impressions de France be safe now that the official permit has been filed?

The Rat ride in Paris is about 1.35 acres for the entire building so there is more than enough space here for that. The rest might be parking and access roads.

Ok, thanks, didn't realize that. I am a little confused by what the permit is showing since it clearly shows parking going into that area, but again that could just be temporary.

The permit also indicates that this hashed area around the current pavilion is part of a separate permit.

Can I get this in a nice frame?

I smell a Rat.

Do we know it will use the same Trackless Tech that the Paris version has?

It should be a clone.

I am wondering if this might be the queue to the ride. Since it warps all the way around to the front of the pavilion it would provide access without having to remove anything existing.

Awesome, thanks Martin! Would love if they used a little less screens but I did enjoy this ride regardless when I was there.

Sounds like IDF might be safe?

Oh god I hope they went with the plans that don't get rid of Impressions
