News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

Apparently some people think the roof system supports may be maxed out with just a basic facade. They may be right. They seem very sure anyway.

Who?

Who?

Read a page or two back.

The only person to say that seems to be you?

Seems like its only @jt04 that mentioned anything about roof system support limitations.

It’s meant to be Paris, not the Alps. There’s the Eiffel Tower there already, albeit the false perspective is now gone. And the Beast’s Castle is in MK. If they intended to add those features they would have already done so.

Sacré-Cœur Basilica?

Moroccan minarets?

French alps?

Casablanca prop?

Waterfall?

HoND bell tower?

I can churn these out forever.

Who?

I’ll say it. The roof is not designed for the additional dead and wind loads that would be required to support intensive scenic elements.

I may have misunderstood but I thought people said the roof wasn't able to support more than itself and the current facade/parapet/overhang thing. I'm not great with nuance.

So build it stronger?

So build it stronger?

I‘m honestly confused. You know the roof is done. You know the flats are it. Why are you indulging his “prefurb” nonsense that this is just the start of something bigger that will come later?

Not trying to speak for Martin here, but I read it as him suggesting they should have redone the roof so they could have built something better than the painted flat. Not that they were going to do something better in the future.

We've learned in the last 4 years that if you vaguely say, "some people" instead of "I" you can get away with a stupid theory.

Build a larger, stronger box around it. Then you can add the palace of Versailles on top of it!!

 

[marni1971]

I‘m honestly confused.

Me too. I thought you were stating a fact.

 

[lazyboy97o]

Me too. I thought you were stating a fact.

I was. The roof was not designed to support some future addition of large scenic elements. It could have been but it was not.

I think we both understand that. Leaving the confusion behind and moving on?

It isn't as if these types of theming elements don't already exist all over the property.

 

[marni1971]

Does it seem like there’s two different conversations going on?

 

[RSoxNo1]

Does it seem like there’s two different conversations going on?

I can't even imagine how much that weighs.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Does anyone know the manufacturer of this and other LPS ride systems around the world? It looks like Hunny Hunt was created by Imagineering, but I can't find much on Ratatouille, Mystic Manor or any of the others.
