News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[MisterPenguin]

Oh Martin, I see what you did there. The old If X=Y, and Y=Z, so X must equal March 19-June 20. Clever

Note that he didn't mention which year!

I prefer the Paris version -- this one is a bit gaudy for my tastes.

Not saying it's bad, though. A middle ground between the two might be best for me, but between the two I prefer the simpler version. It reminds me more of an actual restaurant sign.

Gaudy! Yea, that's France. Will they have rat characters interacting with the guests (socially distanced of course)?

 

[ChewbaccaYourMum]

That sign looks perfect!

Why does the Paris version have an accent above the 'E' in 'Remy' but the US version does not? Too confusing for Americans, I'm guessing?

Overall, I think the design of EPCOT's marquee is light years better than the WDSP version. But I do wish it was scaled down about 15-20%. Just seems a bit too big compared to the rest of the facade.

The fastest way to explain is to say it's sort of like Jacques and Jack. One is written in French, with appropriate accents, the other in English.

Methinks the French would think the EPCOT version is too gauche. They would rather prefer their sign to be more understated.

I'm not a fan of exposed bulbs AT ALL. I would prefer the US version of the sign sans bulbs. I would have put them around the edges of the sign behind a border, so you didn't see the bulbs at all, but so that the face of the sign is illuminated properly.

You must hate Main Street...

Main street is lit brightly enough that I don't notice the bulbs much. I'm hoping this area proves to be similar. We haven't seen pics of it lit up at night yet...

(I was in the sign biz for years...what I'm picturing in my head is probably a darker environment than reality.)

Why not stick to one style for the sign? That Métropolitain-ish letting just looks silly. The name is also still incredibly dumb.

IMO from the pictures, I think the sign looks too industrial from certain angles. My issue is the HSS bar stock used, and the view of that whole area from skyliner (it does not blend at all). I just think Disney could of done better, but hey, I'm no imagineer.

Here's how Place de Remy looks like at Walt Disney Studios Park. I imagine the lighting for the expansion would be similar in some way.

Thanks! The top and middle shots aren't bad at all. I'm guessing it's just exposure in the bottom pic that makes them look so bright.

Yikes. And don’t forget about that floating door. And are there kids on your lawn?

Because one is written in French and one is written in English? Décor vs. decor is another example or télévision vs. television.
