News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Missing20K]

Those are prefinished metal panels. They’re hardly ideal for attaching anything to and will feature sizable exterior egress staircases, including one with rooftop access. Any “theming” would have to be sizable, rated exit stair enclosures built as after-the-fact expansions.

If you built a fire-wall between the two you could get away without the rated exit stairs. Or if the themed structure is just an unoccupied space, you theoretically wouldn't need anything separating the two.

Yes, the green walls are insulated metal panels. They’re two pieces of metal sandwiching insulation and are intended as a complete exterior wall assembly. You don’t add anything like stucco or siding to the exterior, the metal panel is the finished exterior. There is not much to the panel to attach to so it can’t really support the weight of adding a lot of theming, not to mention other issues like waterproofing.

If you look at the building in Paris you can see some sizable exterior stairs on these walls. The door openings for these same stairs can be seen in the construction photos. Adding “theming” would mean not just attaching to the green walls, but adding a building to enclose the stairs and theme those as well.

Weird, I actually just did a detail, not too long ago, where we fastened through finished metal panels. Granted, we were fastening to steel structure behind, but with through-bolts and bent plate. Then we had the contractor fabricate an aluminum cover plate and caulked the joints. Realistically, you can't attach anything directly to a metal panel. Certainly not without voiding any warranty the manufacturer is giving.

Well I guess disregard my comment above, if they are planning an exterior emergency egress stair.

Attractions Magazine aerial video of Rat (and GotG). As always with an AM video, shut of the sound and watch at quarter speed for best effect...

Can you explain how to slow the speed down again please? I know you said it somewhere but I can’t find it! Thanks.

left click the cog lower right and you have the option for speed click it then select the desired speed.

Apparently, both Christmas overlays for Trolley Show and MRFF are not happening this year. They’re wanting to see if not having holiday overlays actually has a negative effect on guests.

Indeed...

I only get the Annotations, subtitles and quality options. Not speed.

I’m using an iPad though, and I sometimes get the message “full screen mode not supported” and have to watch it on the small frame. But even when I do manage to get it full screen, I still don’t get all the options.

Of course, I can’t left click on it though! Any ideas?

if you get full screen not supported you need to click on the youtube name at the bottom to take you to yt itself for full screen and you may also get the speed option there as well.

If you get the Youtube app, you'll be able to click on the youtube icon in browser which will take you to the app, where you'll be able to change speed.

Really? I found some of the stuff you see only going backwards to be pretty cool. I find the ride to be one you NEED to experience both directions. So much fun!

And I agree...I think Crush is probably just as good if not better than Rat. If only WDW would find a way to sneak this ride in DAK or something...so much fun!

Better idea, how about Crush goes into the Living Seas? The right side of EPCOT is suffering. They degraded their only E ticket ride and it will be totally overpowered by the left side once Guardians opens. I’m sure there’s space behind the Living Seas

Only problem with this is Crush's Coaster is a little light in the capacity sense, you would have to build a double version like Primeval Whirl for it to be in WDW.

There’s a double load version available. Disney chose the single load version.

That damn gondola route....

That damn gondola route....

Don't blame me, I wanted a partially underground Hogwarts Express type system from France to the Studios.

As in, a subway?

 

[MotherOfBirds]

Are there at least plans to theme the back of France, or it this going to be like the Skyway again but worse?

Something classy, like the tube. Lol

Only to the back of the pavilion then elevated rail just like Hogwarts Express.

So I just looked up the Crush coaster again and it saids the duration is 1:55 which is really freaking short. If they were to add it here I would hope they would make it a little longer and of course double the capacity. It would be a nice addition though with the Epcot overhaul as upgrade to the the Seas pavilion.
