Ratatouille in Epcot

[Magenta Panther]

Mary Poppins in the UK, I bet. And I would love it.

and I'd love an Aladdin dark ride, though I understand placement issues. I like the Ratatouille theme, but I don't think I care for the Paris design.

God, I'd love a big expansion in UK devoted to Poppins. Since WS is going to be inundated with IP anyway, it seems.

I would be mostly okay with Mary Poppins in UK.. there are worse fits.

Also, I'm pretty much 100% for Rat in France at this point. Good capacity, E-ticket, and of all IP choices Ratatouille has the most focus on the country it takes place in IMO.

If they put the Tokyo Beauty and the Beast ride, or anything BATB in France, that would the biggest blunder ever and prove how absolutely useless a lot of the Fantasyland Expansion was. Also, aside from "Bonjour" in the opening song and Lumiere, not much screams French culture about BATB. I guess it is much more French than Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, but..

Plus Ratatouille would bring a balance so that not all of the IPs in WS are princesses. There aren't many non-princess IPs that fit into WS (that I could see Disney actually investing in).

I agree, and it would help bring a younger crowd to Epcot too, while it is an incredible attraction for all ages.

Back when Disney was going to do that Roberts Zemeckis version of Yellow Submarine, it gave me hope that there would be some sort of Beatles attraction at UK. But that's gone now.

We need some righty love!!

I see you found my missing punch line. . .

If not Poppins, I am pulling for Potter. . .

Bastille Day... Nothing makes us proudaher!

 

[Bocabear]

How many LPS rides do we need? I've wanted one for ages, but three within a five-year period is excessive.

I think the BatB one would be more appropriate for the WDW audience.

BATB Ride is more appropriate for the Magic Kingdom than EPCOT...especially with the presence of BATB already there...

 

[RSoxNo1]

Ratatouille in France makes more sense than Three Caballeros in Mexico or Frozen in Norway.

How doesnt the three caballeros make sense for Mexico?

Sure, but that isn't what we are talking about. We are talking about a ride for France at WS. The WDW crowd would prefer BatB to Rat. Based upon IP profitability.

Because only one of the three caballeros is Mexican?

Coco (upcoming Pixar movie) is a better fit in the Mexico pavilion because it deals with a real life component of the culture, as does Ratatouille.

Also even though it's only concept art the B&tB ride looks way better. I'm of the opinion that no movie rides should be in the park but if they're dead set on doing it and destroying the original intention they might as well go all out with the best they have.

it's concept art...one image... For all we know this could be like the Voyage to the Crystal Grotto... a lot of fiberglass statues on tunrtables...that concept art looked amazing too....Just sayin'

It's also an E Ticket ride being built by OLC. They don't skimp on those.

Its "Donald gets lost in Mexico"... as a Mexican I hardly see any substance in that.

I hope Coco doesnt gets too similar to The book of Life, which was VERY GOOD.

If you saw the movie that's not it at all. Donald actually gets taught Hispanic culture tough to do in a 5 minute ride. I think it's a great fit for that pavilion

The movie is not the ride.

Did B&tB really feel or look at all French, though? To me, the content of the ride would fit the pavilion far less than Frozen fits Norway. Ratatouille feels like it could be set in one of the buildings already represented at the pavilion.
