See that’s nice and open/clean and well put together. I feel like that is how the first portion of Epcot will look and then it goes cartoon for no reason. Obviously it’s a tight spot to put it in but I feel like it could’ve been done better.

See? Nothing but painted flats. Oh wait...

I stand by my previous statements that I think most people are not prepared for just how little of the flats you are going to see when on the ground in France. You are going to see a bit of roof and some chimneys and that's about it.

Is Epcot’s show building taller than Paris’s? For some reason, it seems like Paris’s Façades never pass the height of the middle tier of Epcot’s show building (where dimensional sets turn into flats).

Is this going to devolve into another debate like the claim on the DL boards that their version of SWGE is bigger?

It appears Paris' queue merely juts out further than EPCOT's, so EPCOT needs a higher facade to conceal the show building since you'll be closer to it:

Paris doesn't need to half-heartedly try to hide a good chunk of industrial rooftops from a gondola system, either.

If only we were so lucky.

Personally, I thought the whole area around the gondola's and Rat looked great. Of course, from the gondola approach the painted flats arent as effective, but the approach on foot from IG into Paris was very well done, IMO.

Plenty of areas where Disney cuts corners and butchers theme, but I dont think this spot is one.

Now if you want to look north....then we can find some real grievances.

 

[easyrowrdw]

While correct, I wasn't referring to the common rube visiting Epcot. They aren’t going to know anything. Disney seems to have gone out of their way with this ride to not mention much about it coming over from WDSP. It’s referenced but usually once and then only well into any article written about it (like in a recent ‘Disney Files’ article). It’s almost as if they don’t want people to know about the original area...

Ah, okay. I haven't followed the ride that closely. Is that an atypical approach? Do they play up the connection between Tron at MK and the one at whatever park the original is?

Nothing says expensive craftsmanship and authenticity like green tube steel that is supposed to be delicate, ornate wrought iron work.

To be honest, I haven't really read that much about MK's Tron to know if they have played up the Shanghai piece or not. I do remember LMA being promoted as coming from Paris, and Soarin' coming from California back before the DL 50th celebration, but that feels like it was a completely different time compared with how the parks are approached today.

That was a specific marketing campaign where the other Disney resorts were giving Walt Disney World new attractions for Disneyland’s 50th.

I wonder how much of that lower left of the building in Paris is used for Chez Remy. The restaurant and ride exit share a (plexiglass?) wall.

Ah, that rings a bell. Still not sure why other resorts would give WDW attractions for Disneyland's 50th, but that's water under the bridge at this point.

Not as bad as the commercials that included Walt walking down Main Street, USA but with Sleeping Beauty Castle replaced by Cinderella Castle.

I don't remember those. And that's probably a good thing.

Hopefully this helps; everything to the left of the red line is Paris exclusive. The original show building as you can see is further back from guests and has more buildings to build bulk and help step up to the ride buildings height.

If they're repeating that for MK's 50th, then...

• Paris: Ratatouille
• Shanghai: TRON
• Hong Kong: Paint the Night
• Tokyo: well, they're not technically owned by Disney and don't have to give anything. If they were, what they'd have to offer is Mystic Manor, new Pirates otC, Monster Inc Hide & Seek, new BatB dark ride. There's always time to *announce* one of these as a 50th gift, even if it arrives late.
• Anaheim: Their ugly Sleeping Beauty Castle color scheme. I'd rather have Superstar Limo.
