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

But it's a rare pin.

Yeah... I'm probably still going to end up buying one off ebay

You keep saying that. Notice a pattern?

"It makes no sense" *Scratch* "It makes no sense"

It was very deliberate.
Are you claiming the expansion pad next to France and the Morocco pavilion can never host a new pavilion?

I think what he's saying is that they couldn't fit the Rat ride on the France pad even if they gut the theater. It has to go somewhere else.

Building between pavilions is killing the space for potential country pavilions, it's the World Showcase not Fantasyland

Honestly, those pavilions are tiny. I hope they expand all the existing countries rather than add new ones. Every pavilion should have BOTH a ride and a film.

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.

One of the things that made me smile during my trip to Disneyland Paris last week was all the people wandering around in Remy caps. I think they would be a nice addition to the WDW landscape!

Every pavilion was designed with enough space in the back to add rides in the future.

Disney just chooses not to use it

Yes, I need Mysterious Island/Nautilus stuff.

There was no Mysterious Island merchandise for sale in TDS.

Not even diecast vehicles? A while ago I remember seeing on eBay some great Nautilis items that were only on sale there. It's a shame if they're not cashing in on some really great design work there.

Regions would've been better than individual countries.

I just wish they were more immersive.

More than a rumour.

Will box office still play a major part in whether this goes forward?

 

[Tim Lohr]

No, the parking labels only appear on the future state plans, not on the current state and the parking area behind the pavilion is not currently being used for parking.

I think the thin strip of land between the Avenue of the Stars and Epcot canal in going to be the parking area, it's outlined at the bottom edge of the Blueprint

No, that's a new storm water retention pond.

This is why I love Morocco so much. Walk in to the store and you are transported to Morocco, Disney World disappears. I think its the only country with that complete immersion.

Wouldn't be a bad way to announce Epcot's Ratatouille. Do a 10 year anniversary video, mention Paris's attraction, then casually let it slide that we're getting it in Orlando.

Honestly the Pter Pan in the Magic Kingdom is the worst iteration of the ride ever built...they REALLY need to either upgade it or completely start over from scratch in a whole new building... Like the Shanghai version...

Problem is, as long as Peter Pans Flight in the MK has an average standby wait time between 45 and 90 minutes even during late evening hours (we always do it with a FP) and guests are obviously and widely accepting an outdated ride with technology from basically the 1950ies without any further upgrades or plussing for decades, TDO will see absolute no reason for spending money on an already miracously (we just don't get it) popular ride.

Exactly, this is World Showcase at Epcot. Last new country was Norway in 1988.

Spice Road Table restaurant is one of my favs! Best seat to watch fireworks .
