News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[marni1971]

Embarrassing. Shameful, really. Unless you mean 2019, which surely you do not.

It should have been open for a few months three years from now.

Q3.

Rats!

 

[Figment Newton]

Storm was much reduced. Rain misters turned off. Waves muted. Fog effects turned off. Smoke canons deactivated. Lightning strike toned down.

In short less thrilling. And then Body Wars opened a year later as the parks new thrill ride E Ticket. Demoting maelstrom in everyone's eyes to the D it really was.

So, was the arrival of Body Wars when they toned down Maelstrom or sometime later? Is there any footage/photos of the "original" Maelstrom?

I've no idea. I rode both in 1990 and got quite damp in Norway.

I got drenched on Norway yesterday lol, first the seats are already soaked so you have no choice but to sit in it, then the entire front end of the boats now dip into the water after the flume and they get flooded. That never use to happen. So for those of you who sit in the front, be ready.

Backstage survey markings are now in place.

Q3.

So Epcot will have gone 4 years, from 2016-2020 without a new addition by that point, not including upgrades. That's awful for a park in such a state.

Will we see changes to the land/Seas/Imagination beforehand?

Not at this time.

 

[UpAllNight]

Not at this time.

Hmm so literally nothing new to market for the park in 2018/2019? I'm guessing they're hoping Star Wars does all the work and gives them an excuse to do nowt in this park?

Maybe the UK attraction, albeit perhaps only a C level ride could make it by 2019.

No, not at the moment.

 

[Princess Leia]

No, not at the moment.

Darn.

With the apparent lack of decision over an IP, do you think Ratatouille will open before whatever goes into the UK pavilion?

Currently yes. Just.

 

[DisneyFan18]

Currently yes. Just.

Marni, if the Coco overlay gets done. Should we expect it to be open before Ratatouille then?

I don't believe so. Guests should see the Space TSR, followed by Rat and then a slew of other things.

 

[DisneyFan18]

I don't believe so. Guests should see the Space TSR, followed by Rat and then a slew of other things.

Thanks, I can't wait to hear more about those other things. By Space TSR are you referring to the Restaurant? Also do you believe they might be aiming for Day of the Dead 2020 for the possible Coco overlay? That would be amazing in my opinion.

Also a replacement for Illuminations is coming soon.

Coco is coming out this fall. Why would they wait so long before retheming the Mexico ride?

 

[Daveeeeed]

and people loved them, it was a great show. They sure did do away with every bit of entertainment that people liked.

The ones in the Arts Festival were pretty cool too. I love the idea of festivals to give seasonal entertainment at EPCOT, but they have to do it right.

I think living statues are kind of neat, just if you were to see one outside of Disney... it's usually not the best idea to interact with one (money and all).

Three years away.
