News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Lensman]

And one more from bioreconstruct that shows the entrance courtyard.


Note that in this picture, you can see several related projects:
1. How the Skyliner will pass right over the entrance courtyard.
2. Where the tree-clearing and re-landscaping is in relation to the courtyard - right next to it, maybe even part of the courtyard.

This is also a *great* view of the water bridge of the Crescent Lake to World Showcase Lagoon canal over Epcot Resort Drive and the Epcot drainage canal.

Does anyone know if there are plans to overhaul the Eiffel Tower? The forced perspective seems off now from the boat/gondola side.

It’s a worry.

It’s a worry.

I could see them relocating it like some of the "distant" spires in SWL.

It’s a worry.

Are they on a wait-and-see approach with this?

Are they on a wait-and-see approach with this?

Possibly. There’s a few scenarios. I don’t know which they’ll go with. The IG is a worry. The Rat another, which could be mitigated. The biggest is from the gondolas.

I'm surprised they actually care about the view from the gondolas.
I can't imagine there being a way to make it work from that view.

I hope at least the other 2 are addressed though

Seems like they will have to prioritize which directions get the best views.

I imagine WS and within the Rat area will get top priority with IG being a close 3rd.

I guess if the current set-up works from within the new area, they probably will just leave it. Maybe they can mess with a chimney or something around it to satisfy the IG view. Gondolas seems impossible to fix without screwing other views up

It is ironic that many here complained when the Skyway left the MK even though it did far more to ruin the magic than this new system. Most people will be staring at their phones. This really isn't that bad.

That it is.

 

[jt04]

That it is.

Paris has, or had a giant ferris wheel and other such sights. Even the Eiffel tower was a tourist attraction that they thought was temporary. Anyway. I still want a Hogwarts Express to the Studios.

It’s not my opinion. Although I agree.

Does Uni consider Hogwarts Express a success?

Does Uni consider Hogwarts Express a success?

One assumes so.

 

[jt04]

One assumes so.

I certainly do and have never ridden it. The new coaster will boost its usefulness no doubt.

How about a gotg galaxy express

That too.

You didn’t enjoy your view of air conditioners and garbage dumpsters?

Not even a little bit. I do sometimes miss the Swiss Chalet. I like searching for a spot in World Showcase.

Don't you mean "futuristic climate control apparatus" and "magical effluvia containment vessels?"
