News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[tribbleorlfl]

Morocco does have genuine art, artefacts and craftsmanship to admire. Have you been inside?

I guess it depends on your definition of attraction. Yes, some extra additions, as in rides, would be great, but I still love WS.

I laugh each time I visit Italy at the mirror image of St Mark's Square, I love looking at the differences through the 4 centuries of buildings in the UK, the tranquility of Japan's gardens (and Canada's come to that), the replicas of real architecture of Norway, Canada, Italy. If they add attractions I really hope we don't lose any of this.

Yeah, but I think that's what @doctornick was referring to. Currently, Italy, Germany and the UK don't have any attractions, even walk-through art installations like Morocco's. Every pavilion, at a minimum, should have some kind of art/cultural museum-type display.

I don't think anyone walking down this new plaza will be able to see the Eiffel Tower.

Just look up

 

[Timothy_Q]

No exact height info yet, but pink is pathway, brown covered pathway, purple stroller parking and there may be a little fountain in the plaza shown in blue.

Is the covered pathway for sightline reasons?

Is the covered pathway for sightline reasons?

I imagine so. And covered overflow queue.

The Concept art is bugging me...Where exactly is this angle from? The Efiel Tower sits on the top back end of the Impressions du France theater..is this whole area wrapping around it?

Yes. The left side of the image is the back side of the theater.

looks like we are looking at the IDF theater on the left (Backside) looking towards Morrocco and the new show building... the kiosks on the right side are backing up to the waterway to hourglass lake and the circle road between Beach Club and Boardwalk

This image is from just about the same angle and direction as the concept art.. can see they line up pretty well...

Okay now that makes perfect sense...I at first thought this was looking at the new area directly from WS lagoon and why it was confusing..

I thought the same thing when I first looked at it. Once I looked at for a bit I realized what I was actually looking at.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

I wonder if there is plans on how the Force perspective will work for the Eiffel Tower since guess we'll be able to get up close to it from where it sits on top of the building.

 

[WildcatDen]

But perhaps for Epcot's 40th.

That is what I was originally told about any potential new country addition to WS, not WDW's 50th but EPCOT's 40th. . .

They are fudging the Eiffel Tower a little bit in the concept art. It actually stands on the building with the brick chimney, not the one further right. No worries, artistic license.

 

[britain]

And looking more carefully, I was wrong about not seeing it from this new area. You may be able to see the top half of the tower from the street. Eh - but I'll dismiss that like I dismiss standing right next to the miniature bell tower in Italy's San Marco Piazza.

 

[Mike S]

Julie Andrews or Emily Blunt ?

Either one they choose. If Emily does a good job why not?

The concept art has the tower behind all buildings, on the ground.
Cause you know, the Eiffel tower "isn't" on top of a building

Exactly. It would look distracting if they drew it exactly where it is, and any guest on the ground can't tell it's actually on a building anyway. It looks like it's behind buildings.

We're not talking one Disney project. It's not like this is FOA in an abstract year. For the next several years, we have:

• Rat
• GOTG replacing Energy
• New M:S restaurant
• Tron
• Mickey Ride replacing GMR
• SW Land
• TS Land
• Gondolas
• Riveria Resort
• High rise in COR

I'm sure I left out something or several.

FOA? Anyway yes we are though we are talking about an attraction designed and built in one continent and redesigned to comply for Florida building regulations. It should not take 3 years.

What your suggesting is that Disney is building every component of each attraction which is completely untrue.

The one in Vegas is

Now if we could just get a craps table at EPCOT

Thanks, I was having a super hard time picturing this!
