News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[KimAnnFran]

Excited. This is a good ride... It's always first on my list to ride when in Paris.

It will make Frozen look like a B ticket.

Can you explain what the ride is like in Paris? Interested, thanks.

There are an abundance of videos on YouTube. But it is a trackless, screen-based, dark ride.

Thanks I'll go and see if I can locate something.

Even if you can, it uses 3D, and there are movements, smells, heat and other effects that don't allow video to quite do it justice. Still, worth watching though.

CUTE! are the movie parts 3-D?

Yes they are!

 

[KimAnnFran]

Yes they are!

I bet it will be cute. I'm not much for the Disney Movie themed EPCOT, tho. Honestly, I liked the original idea where we learn about the countries, etc and visit as though we're there.....I know the rationale for doing this but not sure about it.

I hope the American Adventure and the Canada Song never go away. Love both.

For anyone who has ridden it, would you put it on the same level as Gringotts? From what I’ve read, it seems to be in the same boat (good, but doesn’t quite live up to expectations based on the possibilities of the ride system).

I thought it was great ride, but maybe a bit biased as Ratatouille is my favourite Pixar movie. The technology & the effects blend well together. Haven’t ridden Gringotts yet.

gringotts rides a traditionalish coaster track and is capable of the small drop and some other effects due to this. the rat ride is a trackless system much more like the seaworld attraction with penguins and thus cannot have the same level of movement. it looks like the rat ride has no suspension like movement either.

I understand what you’re saying. Yes. It could do better with the LPS ride system. It will be the weakest of the three LPS rides WDW will have in a little over 2 years. And yet it will be great.

Hmm - this is not a terrible comparison. Both attractions have some issues. I personally was more disappointed with Gringott's based on higher expectations, but I sort of had a similar reaction getting off Rat.

I think ultimately many people here will like Rat, just as they like Gringott's. Even though some of us will be grumpy about that.

The only slight hiccup Rat has going for it is that it doesn't try for the fences and miss as much as Gringott's does. They make a few lame choices as opposed to horrible design flaw choices. Others won't perceive those as being misses and swear up and down that it is crazy to put those rides on the same playing field.

If it's an exact copy of the original, then it seems we're still getting a good attraction. But I hope it isn't an exact clone- usually there is something that can be learned from the first attempt that can be improved upon with the second. I think at the very least we will get a more up to date projection technology- not that I've heard anything bad about the original.

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

I can't think of a recent addition where the second version of the same attraction has been improved upon.

Buzz in Shanghai?

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

^^^Thats right!

 

[ToTBellHop]

I would expect any interior differences to be as significant as the differences between the two Little Mermaid rides.

 

[Timothy_Q]

Buzz in Shanghai?

And Peter Pan too

No, not at all. I wouldn't even put Rat in the same league as Gringotts. Was terribly disappointed after getting off of Rat. Very awkward pacing, odd scenes where you pull into projection rooms, then pull out and see other ride vehicles in stuff in projection rooms.. Just odd. Also has no motion bases during those screen portions.

Well actually the second version of Splash Mountain was better then it's Disneyland Original, but other than that one time, I agree with you. Second generation attractions are almos always the dumbed down version....Which worries me about the WDW version of Star Wars Land...
